Key learnings from peers

Pricing

"The product is pricey."
"The process of licensing could be much simpler, from our experience."
"I'm a firm believer that all software is overpriced these days but, comparatively speaking, I think ER/Studio is worth the money."

Valuable Features

"This application does a lot of things, as do competitor products, but the main reason to go with this product was the ability to create many automations, where we can improve our work and our process."
"We are able to document the data lineage and data flows of our data from one system to another."
"We have been able to quickly create models for our enterprise-wide databases, even when some of them are third-party databases."

Room For Improvement

"Sometimes our version is a little unstable. But I think this problem occurs because our version is old."
"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."
