View full review »It's a scalable product. PowerDesigner does come with a Load Balancer to support multiple license servers. Adding new licenses for users is also a bit easy.
It is very scalable. I'd rate the ability to expand a ten out of ten.

It is upon an application, and it is based on licensing. So it is just a tool for developing your data model. So scaling depends on the number of licenses the organization purchases and how many users there are. So if they purchase 20 licenses and 30 people are using them, they will face an issue. I believe about 40 users were using it.
Regarding scalability, it depends on project complexity and team size.

It can handle everything. It can reproduce all data models, all connections, all APIs, and so on. I would give it a nine out of ten.

I rate the scalability of SAP PowerDesigner a six out of ten.
We have approximately 200 to 300 in the company but not everyone uses it. We will increase usage depending on the company's requirements.

The scalability seems to be okay although I haven't fully tested it yet.

I think that the scalability is fine, given that it's for design and development on a project team. On a large project team, we might have 10 or 20 modelers working on it. You don't have thousands or tens of thousands of users, so it scales just fine for what its purpose is.
In my department, we have 10 or 15 users who are data architects or solution architects.

Because SAP is pushing it and they use it as a design tool, I think it's very scalable for collaboration. However, I have no idea in practice because I'm just using it myself.

We didn't have any problems with scalability. We maintain hundreds of data models in the repository of PowerDesigner, and we are maintaining many versions in each model, sometimes maybe even ten. Sometimes even over a hundred different versions in one model, and we still didn't have any problems.

The solution is based on a RDBMS database, a proper or relational database. It is a one to multi-person version. Any number of people can work simultaneously on it. They actually can buy the license for their own computer, that's all. Therefore, it can scale easily across teams. You just need to license.
I have a team of about ten people and we all use it. We're a small consultancy firm. Everyone uses it.
We will continue to use the solution and increase it as required in the future.

It didn't seem to really need much extendability. For our features, it covered everything out of the box.
There was only one user for this solution, a data architect.
We did not require any staff for the deployment or maintenance.

I don't have any direct experience with scaling the solution. It's not something that I handle.

PowerDesigner is a scalable solution. I worked in a client site where there was a repository, and there were dozens of data modelers. There wasn't a problem.
