We performed a comparison between IDERA ER/Studio and VMware Postgres 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."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."
"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"
"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."
"Developing new dimensional models; for the data we're hosting, dimensional modeling is more useful."
"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."
"IDERA keeps up with the versions of Oracle and SQL Server that I'm using. I mostly use SQL Server and when there are new features, a new type of index, for example, IDERA also includes them in upgrades of the data modeling tool."
"We are able to document the data lineage and data flows of our data from one system to another."
"It would be helpful if they could create a generic JSON database type, as a target database, rather than a specific one like Mongo."
"when there are some links to the external databases, if this database is not structured it is not uploaded. It gives me errors and I cannot see the view that was created on this structure and I cannot change those views, even manually. It skips the views. I have to ignore those views. I cannot re-upload them because it gives me an error."
"What needs the most improvement are semantic lineage and usability."
"Sometimes our version is a little unstable. But I think this problem occurs because our version is old."
"The screens are a bit outdated. They could use a new look and feel."
"When building the relationships there should be a little more flexibility."
"The visual presentation is a little too colorful and seems that it is dumbed down."
"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."
"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."
"It doesn't have any GUI-based monitoring tools."
