Find out what your peers are saying about LeanIX, Sparx Systems, erwin by Quest and others in Enterprise Architecture Management."The data modeling and reverse engineering features are most important to us."
"When validating the model, the ability to provide sub-models to developers, and generate a physical model from the logical, makes it easier to review a logical model with stakeholders."
"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 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."
"We have been able to quickly create models for our enterprise-wide databases, even when some of them are third-party databases."
"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 reverse engineering is the most important feature."
"It does the job."
"I like the solution's traceability."
"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."
"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."
"It would be helpful if they could create a generic JSON database type, as a target database, rather than a specific one like Mongo."
"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."
"We would always like to see Repository performance improve, checking in and checking out."
"The number of options can be overwhelming at times. That is not necessarily a bad thing but for a newbie, it can be daunting."
"When building the relationships there should be a little more flexibility."
"The solution is not easy and intuitive to use. I would also like the software to have a reference metamodel that can guide the modeling."
