Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."We can track changes to our data models and tie those changes back to specific tasks or efforts that we identify."
"We found a lot of duplication, a lot of non-conformity in the way our databases were designed. By identifying these situations, we're able to go back in and try to create a more standardized solution."
"The data modeling module is important to me because I am a database developer and designer... It's very fast, reliable, up-to-date, so easy to use, smooth."
"The tool is simple to use."
"One of the valuable features is inheritance when joining tables. When setting up RI and domains and rules, ER/Studio does a lot of the grunt, boilerplate code that would otherwise have to be hand-coded."
"We use the solution to create data models which describe our company's data architecture"
"The interface is really simple to use and it allows me to pick and choose which tables I want to reverse engineer."
"When validating the model, the ability to provide sub-models to developers, and generate a physical model from the logical, makes it easier to review a logical model with stakeholders."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's very easy to implement the solution. Deployment took about one hour. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance, so long as that person has a good background of administration and operation."
"What needs the most improvement are semantic lineage and usability."
"I would like to upload, a database with about 3,000 tables. It takes so much time and, finally, it freezes the whole solution so that I actually cannot work with that environment. For the data warehouse, it's fine because I have 20 or 30 tables. It works fine. But, when I reverse-engineer the database with 3,000 tables, it freezes and it's hard to upload and reverse-engineer such environments in ER/Studio."
"The model diagram because very clumsy when you save it on the team server and the models are very big."
"We would always like to see Repository performance improve, checking in and checking out."
"The visual presentation is a little too colorful and seems that it is dumbed down."
"They allow functionalities to be released before the full tests for catching and correcting errors are completed."
"The solution could be sped up, as it is a little slow (e.g., when it's doing its database compare)."
"It isn't easy to compare the thousands of tables in the model against the database. The tool should improve the synchronization within the large organization"
"The solution could use better dashboards for new users. They can look complicated until you get used to using the solution."
