Streamline data modeling and automate network changes for increased efficiency

The initial setup depends on the tool if you are using the data model environment. Stopping the server could be complex and require strong expertise. If you have everything set up and configured, Erwin is straightforward. You can deploy it in a few hours. In our case, it took a couple of months to address internal conditions, assign machines, and set up everything for the services. I rate the initial setup a six out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

Automating compliance processes with effective data classification

One limitation of Securiti is that it can only classify about 30% to 40% of my data. For the remaining data, even if it is PII, it may not be classified correctly. This could be due to incorrect or missing data in the dataset. Therefore, I still need to do some manual review to complete the exercise. Additionally, it would be beneficial if Securiti had a feature similar to data mesh, allowing users to directly access remote data through the Securiti UI. This would reduce the need for other tools like Snowflake.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"They have a lot of features and the most up-to-date technology integration, which I haven't seen in other products."

"It has centralized storage so that a data model can be shared by different teams."

"We had some data integration projects, where we needed to integrate it for about 100 databases. Doing that manually is crazy; we can't do that. With erwin, it was much easier to identify which tables and columns could be used for the integration. That means a lot in terms of time and effort as well as my image to the customer, because they can see that we are providing value in a very short time."

"The ability to collaborate between different members across the organization is the most valuable feature. It gives us the ability to work on the same model, regardless of where we are physically."

"It provides flexibility with the code. You can change the code as you want. Basically, you can change SQL based on what's best for your project."

"I have worked with erwin Data Modeler for quite some time and familiarity is its most valuable feature."

"The product lets us import different types of models from various databases."

"We use the Forward and Reverse Engineering tools to help us speed things up and create things that would have to be done otherwise by hand. E.g., getting a database into a data model format or vice versa."

More erwin Data Modeler pros

"The automated way of identifying and classifying personal information is very beneficial."

"It's very scalable. I would rate it ten out of ten for scalability."

"Their data discovery is a fantastic product."

"The drag-and-drop features make Securiti easy to use, even for individuals who are not tech-savvy."

"The process mapping is a good tool. We have a nice view of their data."

"Data discovery is a fantastic product."

"Overall, I would rate Securiti a nine out of ten."

"I would recommend Securiti to others with challenges like obtaining human resources for timely classification."

More Securiti pros

Cons

"We can only get licenses through partners."

"The erwin ETL functionality has room for improvement when it comes to mapping databases with a classic entity-relationship model to a data warehouse model."

"One of the best aspects of the tool is its reverse engineering capability."

"The modeling product itself is far and above anything else that I've seen on the market. There are certain inconsistencies when it comes to keeping up with other platforms' databases in the reverse-engineering process. It should also support more database platforms."

"This is a very complex product."

"Sometimes when I want to open the attribute editor, it stops working and the whole application freezes."

"The navigation is a little bit of a challenge. It's painful. For example, if you've got a view open and you want to try to move from side to side, the standard today is being able to drag and drop left and right. You can't really do that in the model. Moving around the model is painful because it doesn't follow the Windows model today."

"The Bulk Editor needs improvement. If you had something that was a local model to your local machine, you could connect to the API, then it would write directly into the repository. However, when you have something that is on the centralized server, that functionality did not work. Then, you had to export out to a CSV and upload up to the repository. It would have been nice to be able to do the direct API without having that whole download and upload thing. Maybe I didn't figure it out, but I'm pretty sure that didn't work when it was a model that sat on a centralized repository."

More erwin Data Modeler cons

"One limitation of Securiti is that it can only classify about 30% to 40% of my data."

"The scalability of Securiti is not high because we have to customize the solution. It is very complicated to scale, so it needs improvement."

"Technical support needs enhancement. It would be helpful to have better documentation and more accessible support, especially when raising support tickets."

"I would like their workflows and assessment automation to be more advanced compared to their competitors, especially under the pro core privacy module."

"Fraud prevention could be improved. If a criminal accesses my system and obtains my information, they might commit fraud."

"With the formation and education, specifically the security education, they could update the educational video more often."

"Technical support can be hit or miss. Some technical staff are great, but others are not very effective. On average, I would rate the technical support four out of ten."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This company had bought the license for three years, and it's not an individual license. While you can buy a license for each individual, that would be very expensive. There is something called concurrent licenses where you can purchase licenses in bulk and 15 to 20 people can access the license and model. Concurrent licenses are scalable to the number of users and are proportional to the cost."

"The primary reasons that erwin was selected were that it was much more affordable for us [than Embarcadero] and it was easily maintainable."

"erwin Data Modeler by Quest is an expensive solution."

"It is not a very expensive solution. Only the licensing and maintenance fee needs to be paid."

"Pricing is very high compared to any other product."

"erwin has this option where you pay a one-time fee and you have the license for six years, which makes sense because I don't upgrade my database engine every other year. I have an application that depends on it. This is something weird about PowerDesigner. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."

"There is either a one-year or three-year license. It is not a pay-as-you-go license like a SaaS solution. It’s more of a traditional licensing. They are a little bit on the pricier side."

"The solution is expensive."
