We performed a comparison between erwin Evolve by Quest and WorkflowGen based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Design solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Forward and reverse engineering were valuable features."
"By placing the data and the metadata into a model, which is what the tool does, you gain the abilities for linkages between different objects in the model, linkages that you cannot get on paper or with Visio or PowerPoint. That is a huge discriminator."
"The most valuable features for us are impact analysis, where I can easily visualize the impact of change."
"The initial setup was really straightforward and the deployment was done within one day."
"We can efficiently deploy business models into the databases and generate SQL scripts."
"Workgroup Repository collection of data models allows research across models without worry about platform incompatibilities and provides easy KPIs about corporate data assets."
"I really liked that it mapped out processes and was able to attach the data model to the appropriate process. You could map out the process, then when you got down to a specific couple of data elements, you could attach the table in the database that supported that process. You could connect it with erwin Data Modeler for that."
"I have not seen capabilities for web-sharing and interaction with the architecture from any other supplier. It's a great capability..."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
"I would like it to be easier to make changes and then deploy them into production, especially when you have multiple web servers or front-ends. It would be nice to make a change and then have it propagate to the production servers in a more automated fashion."
"The solution needs to focus on allowing for more integrations."
"They have improved the search engine a little bit but it can always be improved more. The more data you put inside it, the more you want to use it."
"With the Excel importing, the "up to date" part is the challenge. If we had a real-time integration, we could keep things up to date for whatever kinds of change points we had. With Excel, it is more that you have to export from one system then import it to another, so it's better for data that doesn't change that often."
"What they need to do is to consolidate more of their products. For example, I was just looking and I couldn't figure out what erwin DT is. It's on the website but it would help if they could put information together and make it more clear as to what products they have and how they work with other things."
"There might be improvement required to better support some of the MPP databases for non-relational data structures and NoSQL databases."
"erwin Evolve by Quest could have additional features to manage the architecture of enterprises and businesses."
"The solution's integration capabilities with other tools in our system has not been all that well done. We have people who use ARIS, who use System Architect and, of course, Visio. erwin has very limited ways to import and export from those kinds of tools. It's not a very easy thing to do."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
