Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."We have been able to quickly create models for our enterprise-wide databases, even when some of them are third-party databases."
"The reverse engineering is the most important feature."
"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."
"The data modeling and reverse engineering features are most important to us."
"The most valuable features are... those that enable me to represent the database to the development community and the business users."
"This application does a lot of things, as do competitor products, but the main reason to go with this product was the ability to create many automations, where we can improve our work and our process."
"The interface is really simple to use and it allows me to pick and choose which tables I want to reverse engineer."
"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 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."
"The model diagram because very clumsy when you save it on the team server and the models are very big."
"The screens are a bit outdated. They could use a new look and feel."
"The visual presentation is a little too colorful and seems that it is dumbed down."
"Sometimes our version is a little unstable. But I think this problem occurs because our version is old."
"when there are some links to the external databases, if this database is not structured it is not uploaded. It gives me errors and I cannot see the view that was created on this structure and I cannot change those views, even manually. It skips the views. I have to ignore those views. I cannot re-upload them because it gives me an error."
"Tech support is a sticking point with me. I am really disappointed in the tech support. We pay for the Platinum level. It takes hours to get a response."
"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 would be helpful if they could create a generic JSON database type, as a target database, rather than a specific one like Mongo."
"The solution could use better dashboards for new users. They can look complicated until you get used to using the solution."
