Find out what your peers are saying about LeanIX, Sparx Systems, erwin by Quest and others in Enterprise Architecture Management."The tool is simple to use."
"It's much easier to develop the database structure and change it on the fly, rather than doing it manually in SQL Server itself. That saves time."
"The data modeling and reverse engineering features are most important to us."
"It's easy to model and has a user-friendly interface. I like the team portal because, once we upload, the entire team can see the model."
"We use the solution to create data models which describe our company's data architecture"
"Developing new dimensional models; for the data we're hosting, dimensional modeling is more useful."
"The interface is really simple to use and it allows me to pick and choose which tables I want to reverse engineer."
"The most valuable features are... those that enable me to represent the database to the development community and the business users."
"The product is stable."
"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 initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"What I like most about SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer is that it's a powerful solution that lets me advise customers about performance, and it also gives a lot of supporting information."
"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer's most valuable features include the notification of consuming the SQL queries, collecting data, and notifying about managing space and tables."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support for older databases and the ability to manage them in a centralized dashboard."
"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer helped us locate the performance issues quickly."
"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer can help us identify issues we cannot see manually."
"Monitoring is most valuable, and being able to know that there is an issue or problem and I need to go look is also valuable. So, monitoring and learning are the most important features."
"The platform solves and prevents delays in receiving answers from databases."
"I would like to see better documentation/help for the Data Architect tool. Creation of tutorials would be nice, as there are some features which are not as clearly defined as they should be."
"It would be helpful if they could create a generic JSON database type, as a target database, rather than a specific one like Mongo."
"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."
"What I would like to see improved is the reliability of the releases, releases that are a little less buggy."
"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 would always like to see Repository performance improve, checking in and checking out."
"What needs the most improvement are semantic lineage and usability."
"They allow functionalities to be released before the full tests for catching and correcting errors are completed."
"Protegrity is using a different OS which has some bugs. Sometimes it's causing an initialization error."
"The solution's UI could be better."
"Protegrity Data Security could improve by having more integration."
"There is room for improvement with the pricing of the platform."
"One area where the tool could improve is by adding support for additional databases. For instance, supporting newer databases like Couchbase or MongoDB would be beneficial."
"Technical support for this solution needs to be improved."
"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer should provide customization options allowing users to add different columns."
"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer should include more details on how everything works."
"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer should be easy to implement and it should have more facilities to make it better."
"The areas where it currently lags are in reporting and dashboarding. The reports and dashboards are somewhat static, and we cannot create custom dashboards for specific customer needs."
"It is capable, but I don't believe it has the right value matrix. It also depends on the budget of the company."
