Easy to use data modeling tool

Reviewed 4 years ago

We are trying to build a enterprise data model for commercial product which acts as a reference point for 7 different databases. It helps us analyze business requirement and the flow of data between multiple systems. I like the workgroup version of Erwin as it lets you work with multiple people on your team at the same time with the version control options and check-in and check-out option.

Pros

Its a great tool for generating ddl scripts which can directly be used to deploy to databases. Also can be used to compare multiple model and merge the files in multiple format like you can compare Erwin files, DDL files etc. It gives you lot of options for reporting like you can choose report designer to create reports on any level like at subject area level or entity level etc.I really like the reverse engineer option of Erwin which can help you generate data model from existing database.

Cons

I think the ability to generate larger model reports is little harder as it takes lot of time and some times the application crashes with which you might loose certain changes. For larger model to get the reports get little tough as the tool becomes slow and some improvement in that area would really help.

ErWin Data Modeler

Reviewed a year ago

My review of ErWin might be a bit biased. Fresh out of University doing data modelling, designing and implementing Databases, ErWin was a Gift. My employer sent me on some courses. I think it was Computer Associates (CA) which was running the training that time. The training was so good, when I returned to work, I hit the ground running.

Pros

This is one of the best Data Modelling software I have ever used in my entire life of over 27yrs working in IT. I love love loved eRwin.

Cons

It is not every day that one says that I have no issues with a software. I frankly would die over and use ErWin again.
