Find out what your peers are saying about LeanIX, Sparx Systems, erwin by Quest and others in Enterprise Architecture Management."The product's most valuable feature is adaptability."
"I mostly work on the conceptual and logical side of things, and I enjoy how easy it is to use."
"SAP PowerDesigner is fairly stable."
"The solution is a very pragmatic tool. It's quite easy to use."
"The most useful feature has been the detailed possibility to model almost anything regarding physical databases."
"The physical database model is definitely the most valuable feature because it describes normalization exactly the way you understand the data, and it deploys it perfectly with open source systems."
"I like the connectivity or the lineage between the models and usability."
"I do a data-centric design, so for me, the data analysis and design tools are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is that it is a very fast reverse engineering process. It does a very expansive comparison."
"They could provide a simplified process for building and deploying solutions in the cloud."
"You have the possibility to complete a connection for abbreviations if you are creating columns or names of the tables. In the Citrix environment, this has been lagging to the point where the PowerDesigner was not usable."
"This product does not have a good BPMN Modeler."
"Not very intuitive or user-friendly."
"The solution is very, very expensive. It would be ideal if it was a more affordable product."
"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."
"The data governance should be improved, like ER/Studio."
"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."
"I have found the solution not easy to use. When publishing you have to download the HTML, make adjustments against the updated HTML, convert it to HTML, then finally paste the HTML. There is not an on-the-fly function available to bypass the step-by-step converting process that other solutions have."
