Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."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."
"This application does a lot of things, as do competitor products, but the main reason to go with this product was the ability to create many automations, where we can improve our work and our process."
"We can track changes to our data models and tie those changes back to specific tasks or efforts that we identify."
"The data modeling and reverse engineering features are most important to us."
"Straightforward setup."
"It does the job."
"We found a lot of duplication, a lot of non-conformity in the way our databases were designed. By identifying these situations, we're able to go back in and try to create a more standardized solution."
"The most valuable features are... those that enable me to represent the database to the development community and the business users."
"Technical support from Oracle is okay."
"What needs the most improvement are semantic lineage and usability."
"We would always like to see Repository performance improve, checking in and checking out."
"I would like to upload, a database with about 3,000 tables. It takes so much time and, finally, it freezes the whole solution so that I actually cannot work with that environment. For the data warehouse, it's fine because I have 20 or 30 tables. It works fine. But, when I reverse-engineer the database with 3,000 tables, it freezes and it's hard to upload and reverse-engineer such environments in ER/Studio."
"The only thing I had an issue with was licensing, and the support was very good."
"The number of options can be overwhelming at times. That is not necessarily a bad thing but for a newbie, it can be daunting."
"We did have a big issue when we upgraded to the 2016 version. The Team Server portion never did quite install correctly, and/or the database was corrupted, and we never figured it out."
"The screens are a bit outdated. They could use a new look and feel."
"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."
"This platform has issues with stability and performance."
