Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."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 does the job."
"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 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 most valuable features are... those that enable me to represent the database to the development community and the business users."
"Valuable features include the ability to visually represent what the database tables are going to look like and their relationships. Also, the ability to document the definitions of the tables and the columns that are in a table so that we can communicate what the data is and how it should be used."
"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."
"They allow functionalities to be released before the full tests for catching and correcting errors are completed."
"What I would like to see improved is the reliability of the releases, releases that are a little less buggy."
"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 number of options can be overwhelming at times. That is not necessarily a bad thing but for a newbie, it can be daunting."
"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"The screens are a bit outdated. They could use a new look and feel."
"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."
"This solution needs more precise documentation."
"The solution could use better dashboards for new users. They can look complicated until you get used to using the solution."
