We performed a comparison between erwin Data Modeler by Quest and MEGA HOPEX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Architecture Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has centralized storage so that a data model can be shared by different teams."
"Any tool will do diagramming but I think the ability to put the stuff up in a graphical fashion, then think about it, and keep things consistent is what's valuable about it. It's too easy when you're using other methods to not have naming consistent standards and column consistent definitions, et cetera."
"There is absolutely no problem with the stability."
"We can create mappings in erwin and possibly data dictionaries."
"They have a lot of features and the most up-to-date technology integration, which I haven't seen in other products."
"The visual data models for helping to overcome data source complexity and enabling understanding and collaboration around maintenance and usage are excellent. A picture speaks 1,000 words. Seeing a picture that shows you how the data relates to each other helps you better understand what the data is and how to use it. Pairing that information with a dictionary, which has the definitions of the tables and columns or the entities and attributes, ensures that the users understand what the data is so that they can use it best and most successfully."
"The product lets us import different types of models from various databases."
"The data lineage feature is very valuable."
"It is very interactive."
"HOPEX has a panel that offers various views. I think that is very good. MEGA has an app for integrating with a lot of apps. We help our clients integrate HOPEX with a different product like Apple Gateway, for example. I've been with the company for 15 years, and we connect with everything. Our clientele includes almost all of the banks in Mexico."
"The dashboard on the homepage makes for an enhanced view at a glance of the various work functions applicable to the user."
"The solution is scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it's completely possible to do so."
"The ability to customize is valuable."
"The tool is very simple and intuitive to use."
"The platform is stable."
"The solution itself was easy to use."
"The solution's model mark could be better because it crashes sometimes."
"There is a lack of local support in the China region."
"The interface must be improved."
"It would be nice to have it on the Linux platform, not just Windows. If they can support Linux, there would be a huge market for it."
"I would like the solution to be less rigid in terms of its theory."
"erwin generally fails to successfully reverse engineer our Oracle Databases into erwin data models. The way that they are engineered on our side, the syntax is correct from an Oracle perspective, but it seems to be very difficult for erwin to interpret. What I end up doing is using Oracle Data Modeler to reverse engineer into the Oracle data model, then forward engineer the DDL into an Oracle syntax, and importing that DDL into erwin in order to successfully bring in most of the information from our physical data models. That is a bit of a challenge."
"It does not have a cloud application."
"It is not a very stable solution. I rate the stability five out of ten."
"The product must improve integration with other tools."
"It has a data domain where we load our data objects onto the tool but doesn't provide data governance capabilities such as cleansing or validating data."
"Standardization is lacking. The Operational Risk Function will be more effective if it at a default level follows established Basel standards for Loss categorization, Risk Assessments, Risk Event categorization, etc."
"The interface must be improved."
"The features are limited. I'm hoping in the future the solution will be bigger and include more items. Right now, overall, it needs more."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"It would be great if this solution could integrate with other tools such as ITSM (ServiceNow) or CMDB."
"The tool's UI should be more user-friendly."
