"Developing new dimensional models; for the data we're hosting, dimensional modeling is more useful."
"We use the solution to create data models which describe our company's data architecture"
"It does the job."
"We have been able to quickly create models for our enterprise-wide databases, even when some of them are third-party databases."
"The interface is really simple to use and it allows me to pick and choose which tables I want to reverse engineer."
"The most important features are logical and physical models that we can compare and develop. Also, the Data Dictionary can be created out of your studio. Finally, database schemas help understand the logic that's behind the scene, behind the SQL tables. Especially when there are a lot of them, the schemas help everyone understand the business processes."
"The data modeling module is important to me because I am a database developer and designer... It's very fast, reliable, up-to-date, so easy to use, smooth."
"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."
"The tool needs improvement in pricing and support."
"The screens are a bit outdated. They could use a new look and feel."
"This solution needs more precise documentation."
"We would always like to see Repository performance improve, checking in and checking out."
"When building the relationships there should be a little more flexibility."
"The only thing I had an issue with was licensing, and the support was very good."
"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."
"What needs the most improvement are semantic lineage and usability."
"Whenever there is a new version, there are a lot of release notes on the technical side of it, but I would like to be told why are we doing the upgrade... What I would like to really see is how this benefits us from the business point of view. What are the real benefits that the user gets? I want some kind of way white paper. The release notes describe the technical enhancements but, from the layman's point of view, if someone asks me what are the business benefits of this upgrade, I don't have any documentation to explain it to the business."
