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 have a database design group of about 15 people. The Repository enables multiple people to work on the same model at the same time. We have fully integrated models, so we have one model for the enterprise data warehouse, one model for MDM, with a lot of sub-models in these things. People work on different parts of the model at different times. So the repository enables us to share the models, and keep track of what everybody is working on."
"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."
"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."
"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 important features are logical and physical models that we can compare and develop. Also, the Data Dictionary can be created out of your studio. Finally, database schemas help understand the logic that's behind the scene, behind the SQL tables. Especially when there are a lot of them, the schemas help everyone understand the business processes."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes our version is a little unstable. But I think this problem occurs because our version is old."
"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"
"It would be helpful if they could create a generic JSON database type, as a target database, rather than a specific one like Mongo."
"What needs the most improvement are semantic lineage and usability."
"When building the relationships there should be a little more flexibility."
"This solution needs more precise documentation."
"The model diagram because very clumsy when you save it on the team server and the models are very big."
"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."
"The solution could use better dashboards for new users. They can look complicated until you get used to using the solution."
