Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."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 tool is simple to use."
"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."
"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."
"Developing new dimensional models; for the data we're hosting, dimensional modeling is more useful."
"It's easy to model and has a user-friendly interface. I like the team portal because, once we upload, the entire team can see the model."
"The most valuable features are... those that enable me to represent the database to the development community and the business users."
"We can track changes to our data models and tie those changes back to specific tasks or efforts that we identify."
"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."
"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."
"What needs the most improvement are semantic lineage and usability."
"I'd like the ability to debug the errors ourselves instead of having to call them. There are certain types of errors that, I wouldn't say they come up regularly, but when you have an error it is very often the same type of error. Knowing that it's a Type III or Type I, it would be nice to have some kind of debugging facility for us to use to find out where the problem that threw that error occurs. That would be a really cool feature."
"This solution needs more precise documentation."
"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 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."
