We performed a comparison between IDERA ER/Studio and Nutanix Database Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Database Development and Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Using this product has improved the way we maintain our models because they have a place where we can keep all of them, and they can be viewed using the web interface."
"The data modeling and reverse engineering features are most important to us."
"We use the solution to create data models which describe our company's data architecture"
"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."
"It does the job."
"The interface is really simple to use and it allows me to pick and choose which tables I want to reverse engineer."
"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."
"We are able to document the data lineage and data flows of our data from one system to another."
"AI has been deployed within Nutanix. It's very easy to provision the machine within minutes of the application orders. They can hand those over and work along with the AI team to get the data available quickly for business analysis."
"The most valuable feature is its robust infrastructure management tools."
"What I like about this solution is that it's more reliable compared to other solutions."
"It has some very good features. It really works with multiple silos in terms of infrastructure, database updates, and migration. So many things are easy with Era."
"Overall, the solution is very good. It's easy to use and simple to handle many actions, such as VM cloning, testing, and prediction."
"One feature that is very good is the backup and validation process that's built into Era."
"It has wizards that are very helpful in the installation, and it handles automation as well as virtualization once deployed."
"It saves operation time and day-to-day tasks."
"They allow functionalities to be released before the full tests for catching and correcting errors are completed."
"It would be helpful if they could create a generic JSON database type, as a target database, rather than a specific one like Mongo."
"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."
"The visual presentation is a little too colorful and seems that it is dumbed down."
"Sometimes our version is a little unstable. But I think this problem occurs because our version is old."
"When building the relationships there should be a little more flexibility."
"It isn't easy to compare the thousands of tables in the model against the database. The tool should improve the synchronization within the large organization"
"I'd like the ability to debug the errors ourselves instead of having to call them. There are certain types of errors that, I wouldn't say they come up regularly, but when you have an error it is very often the same type of error. Knowing that it's a Type III or Type I, it would be nice to have some kind of debugging facility for us to use to find out where the problem that threw that error occurs. That would be a really cool feature."
"The solution could improve by providing more support for more vendors."
"The graphical user interfaces could be much more user-friendly. They are already user-friendly, but they could be simpler so that we do not need L3 staff to handle them. If they were simpler, we could also have some command center or L1/L1.5 associates do some housekeeping activities on it."
"The updating of the database engine is something that can be improved. For example, assume that we are using PostgreSQL out of the box, and it is version 10. If we want to migrate to version 11, 12, or 13, then it is not very easy to do that using Nutanix Era."
"It should be able to be consumed by other customers because only the enterprise cloud customers are able to buy this software."
"This solution could be improved by integrating with more database providers."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"Patch management is an issue as it regularly causes stability problems."
"The solution should provide more integration with more databases."
