Find out what your peers are saying about LeanIX, Sparx Systems, erwin by Quest and others in Enterprise Architecture Management."Straightforward setup."
"Developing new dimensional models; for the data we're hosting, dimensional modeling is more useful."
"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."
"We are able to document the data lineage and data flows of our data from one system to another."
"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."
"We can track changes to our data models and tie those changes back to specific tasks or efforts that we identify."
"We use the solution to create data models which describe our company's data architecture"
"The interface is really simple to use and it allows me to pick and choose which tables I want to reverse engineer."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"The most valuable feature of Protegrity Data Security is the reduction of information being exposed."
"The product is stable."
"Its technical support team is helpful."
"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer helped us locate the performance issues quickly."
"Monitoring is most valuable, and being able to know that there is an issue or problem and I need to go look is also valuable. So, monitoring and learning are the most important features."
"The platform solves and prevents delays in receiving answers from databases."
"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer's most valuable features include the notification of consuming the SQL queries, collecting data, and notifying about managing space and tables."
"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer can help us identify issues we cannot see manually."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support for older databases and the ability to manage them in a centralized dashboard."
"What I like most about SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer is that it's a powerful solution that lets me advise customers about performance, and it also gives a lot of supporting information."
"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."
"It would be helpful if they could create a generic JSON database type, as a target database, rather than a specific one like Mongo."
"Sometimes our version is a little unstable. But I think this problem occurs because our version is old."
"One limitation I have found in ER/Studio is that when you want to make some changes to the table definitions, you have to go item by item. You cannot do it globally. Another issue concerns defining the foreign keys between the different tables. It is a little more tedious in the ER/Studio than in ERrwin. With ERwin it is direct."
"When building the relationships there should be a little more flexibility."
"The model diagram because very clumsy when you save it on the team server and the models are very big."
"This solution needs more precise documentation."
"The only thing I had an issue with was licensing, and the support was very good."
"Protegrity Data Security could improve by having more integration."
"Protegrity is using a different OS which has some bugs. Sometimes it's causing an initialization error."
"The solution's UI could be better."
"The areas where it currently lags are in reporting and dashboarding. The reports and dashboards are somewhat static, and we cannot create custom dashboards for specific customer needs."
"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer should provide customization options allowing users to add different columns."
"The solution should add little details on the server so that an independent team could easily do the implementation."
"It is capable, but I don't believe it has the right value matrix. It also depends on the budget of the company."
"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer should be easy to implement and it should have more facilities to make it better."
"Technical support for this solution needs to be improved."
"There is room for improvement with the pricing of the platform."
"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer should include more details on how everything works."
