Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."We use the solution to create data models which describe our company's data architecture"
"The data modeling and reverse engineering features are most important to us."
"Developing new dimensional models; for the data we're hosting, dimensional modeling is more useful."
"Using this product has improved the way we maintain our models because they have a place where we can keep all of them, and they can be viewed using the web interface."
"It's much easier to develop the database structure and change it on the fly, rather than doing it manually in SQL Server itself. That saves time."
"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."
"Data lineage tracking: It allows us to identify upstream and downstream systems using data."
"Modeling with Data Architect: We can quickly reverse-engineer a database from an existing database or create a model from scratch."
"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."
"I would like to see better documentation/help for the Data Architect tool. Creation of tutorials would be nice, as there are some features which are not as clearly defined as they should be."
"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"
"When building the relationships there should be a little more flexibility."
"The only thing I had an issue with was licensing, and the support was very good."
"Whenever there is a new version, there are a lot of release notes on the technical side of it, but I would like to be told why are we doing the upgrade... What I would like to really see is how this benefits us from the business point of view. What are the real benefits that the user gets? I want some kind of way white paper. The release notes describe the technical enhancements but, from the layman's point of view, if someone asks me what are the business benefits of this upgrade, I don't have any documentation to explain it to the business."
"Sometimes our version is a little unstable. But I think this problem occurs because our version is old."
"What needs the most improvement are semantic lineage and usability."
"The visual presentation is a little too colorful and seems that it is dumbed down."
"The solution could use better dashboards for new users. They can look complicated until you get used to using the solution."
