We performed a comparison between QualiWare X and SAP PowerDesigner based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Architecture Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the solution's traceability."
"Provides the flexibility to create logical and conceptual data models."
"It offers a lot of features in one solution. You would have to get multiple other products to bundle together all of the capabilities that you get in just this product."
"Has a specific template that's very helpful for importing metadata."
"It has helped me to develop the as-is state, design its to-be state, and track the capital investment according to gap analysis."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"The most valuable feature is the way you can extend it and customize it. With most modeling tools, you fit your modeling process to fit the tool. In PowerDesigner, you can make the tool fit the way you want to work."
"The most valuable features of the solution are it's built very well, easy to use, and simple to describe freely what is needed in logical and physical data models."
"I like the connectivity or the lineage between the models and usability."
"The solution is not easy and intuitive to use. I would also like the software to have a reference metamodel that can guide the modeling."
"There are some minor things that could be easier. We're writing up procedures to bring all the modeling back into one group as this reduces delays in production."
"Technical support could be better and more human."
"SAP PowerDesigner can improve the ease of use. It is not the best tool on the market because it is tough to navigate and use. A beginner would not be able to use it well, it requires some experience. If the solution was more user-friendly it would be able to be used by more audiences. I do not think many people are aware of this solution and they should use it."
"Connectivity can be improved because it's not very good."
"There should be a better usage of current hardware including multicore CPUs, higher resolutions, and multiple displays."
"I've tried to use Power Designer to bring in images, which didn't work very well at all."
"Regarding improvements, I suggest enhancing the connection between objects in process and data models. It's crucial to define the structure of objects, especially when dealing with standard frameworks like VMM. There should be better visualization of arrows between BPM and data modeling objects, specifying their structure and impact. For future versions, a feature similar to Bizagi, allowing users to see forms or SQL representations of objects, would be valuable for demonstrating and presenting project details to stakeholders."
"The solution is very, very expensive. It would be ideal if it was a more affordable product."
