Author infoRatingReview Summary
Data Solution Consultant | Owner at a non-tech company with 1-10 employees3.5I use SAP PowerDesigner to create data models and automate software generation, appreciating its extensibility and documentation features, but its poor repository, lack of cloud support, and uncertain future make it a concerning long-term choice.
Data Governance Senior Advisor at Abu Dhabi National Oil Company3.0I primarily use SAP PowerDesigner for data modeling because it offers thorough database documentation. However, it can be too restrictive with validations and has room for improvement in its user interface. I previously used Erwin before exploring PowerDesigner.
Senior IT Architect I at a government with 10,001+ employees3.0I use SAP PowerDesigner in my company for information architecture modeling and business architecture. It's a valuable data modeling tool, though the web portal lacks some features. There's room for improvement in customer service, but it saves time and enhances efficiency.
Head of Technologies Councel Services at a consultancy with 51-200 employees4.0I use SAP PowerDesigner for documentation of travel expenses and find its BPM and modeling standards beneficial. However, improvements in object structure connections and visualization are needed. Compared to Bizagi, PowerDesigner excels in standards but lacks in form creation and testing.
Data Architect at a financial services firm with 201-500 employees4.0I find SAP PowerDesigner exceptional for data modeling with features like a dynamic license system and repository collaboration. However, it lacks NoSQL support and has a slow portal. Despite these, I would consider returning to this product.
Data Management Product Owner at ExxonMobil4.0I find SAP PowerDesigner to be stable, fast, and easy to understand, with a good repository and flexibility. However, the portal needs improvement, and integration with tools like Collibra would enhance its capabilities. Previously, I used ER/Studio.
Database Engineer at a tech company with 10,001+ employees4.0I use SAP PowerDesigner for logical and physical data modeling. Its valuable extraction feature and clear documentation are beneficial, though it lacks reverse engineering of ALTER statements. The company has considered erwin Data Modeler but continues with SAP PowerDesigner.
IT/IS architecture at a consultancy with 201-500 employees4.0I primarily use SAP PowerDesigner for creating application maps and connecting applications to IOS platforms. It offers a complete solution but requires expertise, lacking user-friendliness for juniors. Improvements in user experience and CMDB integration would be beneficial.
