"SAP PowerDesigner is an excellent tool that does what I need it to do. What I like most about it is that it's stable, fast, and easy to understand."
"It's a great tool for documentation."
"I do a data-centric design, so for me, the data analysis and design tools are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of SAP PowerDesigner is the testing of the models, it has the best function. Reverse engineering is very helpful too."
"The most valuable feature is that it is a very fast reverse engineering process. It does a very expansive comparison."
"The solution is a very pragmatic tool. It's quite easy to use."
"I like the property sheet capability and the user-defined attributes that you can set up."
"I've used the reverse engineering feature a lot. I can take a look at the structure of the database and what relationships it has."
"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."
"I've tried to use Power Designer to bring in images, which didn't work very well at all."
"SAP PowerDesigner could improve by making the repository easier to understand. It is difficult to understand how the repository works because when I used logical models as part of the team, we wanted to use them together and update the older versions of the data model version but it was confusing. The repository needs to be explained."
"In terms of improvement, the pricing is a bit high."
"Not very intuitive or user-friendly."
"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."
"This product does not have a good BPMN Modeler."
"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."
"Checking-in models to the repository, especially when working remotely, is a slow process than can sometimes have problems with models being corrupted."
