Business Solutions Specialist at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | I've been evaluating ER/Studio for organizational use due to its scalability for large teams, strong versioning support, and integration options. While it lacks a pure cloud option, its support for data modeling and naming conventions is impressive. |
Managing Partner at DXC Technology | 5.0 | I have over 30 years of IT experience, though not with new tools. I found IDERA ER/Studio beneficial as it streamlined application development. I've used Borland Delphi and C++ but now oversee projects rather than coding. |
Enterprise Data Architect & Senior Manager at Health First Inc. | 4.0 | I use IDERA ER/Studio for data modeling, valuing its expressiveness and automation scripting. However, it needs updates for modeling and database views. It's comparable to erwin, outperforming cloud options in supporting logical models. |
Data Modeler at Ascendion | 4.5 | I find IDERA ER/Studio to be a good and useful tool. I haven't identified any areas for improvement yet as I need more time for assessment. I haven't used any other tools before this one. |
Data Architect at a performing arts with 201-500 employees | 3.5 | I primarily use IDERA ER/Studio for forward engineering and new database design. Its strengths lie in generating DDL and visualizing data, though the reporting feature is lacking. Despite this flaw, I have seen a positive ROI and rely on this tool. |
