Mike Grove
DBA at a consumer goods company with 201-500 employees
Our primary use case is for building out data models. As the DBA, I am also responsible for modeling the OLTP databases as well as our warehouse. Our databases can have well over 200 tables. Add in the views and we can hit 500 objects pretty quickly. We currently have over 30 databases. Without solid models, it would be impossible to manage all the interdependencies.

IT Specialist at a government with 10,001+ employees
We're supposed to be using it for designing new data models, appending and editing data models. We're doing a lot of reverse engineering on our existing databases.
But we have a plan in the works to begin using it as part of our data governance process, something we don't have currently.

The main tool that we use is IDERA Architect on the team portal.
