Find out in this report how the two Database Development and Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The data modeling module is important to me because I am a database developer and designer... It's very fast, reliable, up-to-date, so easy to use, smooth."
"Straightforward setup."
"Valuable features include the ability to visually represent what the database tables are going to look like and their relationships. Also, the ability to document the definitions of the tables and the columns that are in a table so that we can communicate what the data is and how it should be used."
"Modeling with Data Architect: We can quickly reverse-engineer a database from an existing database or create a model from scratch."
"Developing new dimensional models; for the data we're hosting, dimensional modeling is more useful."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is generating DDL (data definition language)."
"Data lineage tracking: It allows us to identify upstream and downstream systems using data."
"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."
"It is easy to track the reports, this is what is most valuable for me."
"The most valuable feature is SQL Search."
"The only thing I had an issue with was licensing, and the support was very good."
"What needs the most improvement are semantic lineage and usability."
"The model diagram because very clumsy when you save it on the team server and the models are very big."
"This solution needs more precise documentation."
"Sometimes our version is a little unstable. But I think this problem occurs because our version is old."
"It isn't easy to compare the thousands of tables in the model against the database. The tool should improve the synchronization within the large organization"
"The solution could be sped up, as it is a little slow (e.g., when it's doing its database compare)."
"What I would like to see improved is the reliability of the releases, releases that are a little less buggy."
"The biggest problem with the Redgate SQL Toolbelt is just how heavy it is; it seems to take a lot of resources."
"I would like to see the bandwidth increase allowing me to easily analyze more data."
