Find out what your peers are saying about LeanIX, Sparx Systems, erwin by Quest and others in Enterprise Architecture Management."Data lineage tracking: It allows us to identify upstream and downstream systems using data."
"The most valuable features are... those that enable me to represent the database to the development community and the business users."
"Modeling with Data Architect: We can quickly reverse-engineer a database from an existing database or create a model from scratch."
"We are able to document the data lineage and data flows of our data from one system to another."
"We have been able to quickly create models for our enterprise-wide databases, even when some of them are third-party databases."
"We have a database design group of about 15 people. The Repository enables multiple people to work on the same model at the same time. We have fully integrated models, so we have one model for the enterprise data warehouse, one model for MDM, with a lot of sub-models in these things. People work on different parts of the model at different times. So the repository enables us to share the models, and keep track of what everybody is working on."
"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 interface is really simple to use and it allows me to pick and choose which tables I want to reverse engineer."
"Its technical support team is helpful."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"The most valuable feature of Protegrity Data Security is the reduction of information being exposed."
"The product is stable."
"We would always like to see Repository performance improve, checking in and checking out."
"What needs the most improvement are semantic lineage and usability."
"The visual presentation is a little too colorful and seems that it is dumbed down."
"They allow functionalities to be released before the full tests for catching and correcting errors are completed."
"The solution could be sped up, as it is a little slow (e.g., when it's doing its database compare)."
"Tech support is a sticking point with me. I am really disappointed in the tech support. We pay for the Platinum level. It takes hours to get a response."
"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."
"Protegrity Data Security could improve by having more integration."
"The solution's UI could be better."
"Protegrity is using a different OS which has some bugs. Sometimes it's causing an initialization error."
