It enables us to provide the best service to the customers. We also get great support from Infogix."
"The most valuable feature is the way you can extend it and customize it. With most modeling tools, you fit your modeling process to fit the tool. In PowerDesigner, you can make the tool fit the way you want to work."
"SAP PowerDesigner is fairly stable."
"Very good repository features."
"I like the connectivity or the lineage between the models and usability."
"I've used the reverse engineering feature a lot. I can take a look at the structure of the database and what relationships it has."
"The feature I found valuable in SAP PowerDesigner is extraction. I also like that my company hasn't faced any issues because of the clear documentation about SAP PowerDesigner."
"SAP PowerDesigner is an excellent tool that does what I need it to do. What I like most about it is that it's stable, fast, and easy to understand."
"The most valuable features of SAP PowerDesigner are the creation the flow charts and folders. It is a powerful tool."
"We would like this solution to be available in our local language. In our region, people are not fluent in English. It would be nice to have this solution in Portuguese and Spanish. Its workflows are great, but it would be useful to have business flow at a high level because we need to work together with business users. We need more capabilities for business users to understand something in terms of data."
"The 360-degree view for the customers needs to be improved."
"The solution itself does not need to be improved. However, they could add support for different languages."
"SAP PowerDesigner can improve the ease of use. It is not the best tool on the market because it is tough to navigate and use. A beginner would not be able to use it well, it requires some experience. If the solution was more user-friendly it would be able to be used by more audiences. I do not think many people are aware of this solution and they should use it."
"It would be helpful if there were glossary, catalog and governance tools. It would help make it a true end-to-end product."
"The data governance should be improved, like ER/Studio."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"Pricing for small consultancies needs improvement. They sustain prices to competing tools. The competing tools tend to do special offers. PowerDesigner SAP doesn't pay much attention to the pricing of it and there are no special offers."
"There are many areas of this solution that needs to be changed."
"I have found the solution not easy to use. When publishing you have to download the HTML, make adjustments against the updated HTML, convert it to HTML, then finally paste the HTML. There is not an on-the-fly function available to bypass the step-by-step converting process that other solutions have."
