Chose erwin Data Modeler
I was unable to find embarcadero or Datanamic DeZign in the list of other products, but those are two others I have used, along with Visio over the years for data modeling. Erwin is one of the premier tools in the space. I would rate it as a top tool, comparable to …
Chose erwin Data Modeler
Not listed, but I've only used alternatives built into something like the Squirrel SQL editor. That one is semi-functional but lacking many features and, in some instances, just plain wrong. The only pro there is that it's freely available and works over ODBC. I've tried some …
Chose erwin Data Modeler
We, actually, previously used WebSphere Data Architect. Erwin's product is more flexible and has many more interfaces. It integrated well with Oracle, SQL Server and MySQL environments. It also has a better visual representation and better reverse-engineering capabilities.
Chose erwin Data Modeler
erwin was the only option available when I joined the company. I am unaware of any alternatives.
Chose erwin Data Modeler
I have used few other data modeling tools like Toad Data Modeler and SQL Developer Data Modeler. erwin Data Modeler is easy to use and has additional features that make overall data modeling productive and easy to manage.
Chose erwin Data Modeler
Toad is usually a great suite of products. I am a fan of Toad for Oracle particularly. But for data modeling, the ease and features that erwin Data Modeler offers are unbeatable.
Informatica Cloud Data Governance, Access and Privacy
Chose Informatica Cloud Data Governance, Access and Privacy
It was not the best-evaluated tool in technical terms, the best evaluation is with Collibra, but the support and price offered surpassed Collibra, which is not supported in Brazil, so the choice of Informatica was more due to the support and price of the than for tool quality. …
Chose Informatica Cloud Data Governance, Access and Privacy
Overall experience with Axon is average and it is a very manual product. Axon is a very good tool for data governance. User-friendly interface and is integrated with multiple systems.

Cons
  • erwin Data Modeler allows only 25 entities in a trial version. It really limits you when you want to try out the product before actually deciding to pay for licensing cost. It would be rather helpful if they limit the trial period by days instead.
  • The UI is pretty good but sometimes the large diagrams are hard to manage. A little improvement in that area would be helpful.

  • High Complexity, requires training.
  • As it does not allow customization in relationships such as information separately in visual form and even in other tools of the Informatics group such as EDC.
  • Navigation is complex.

CA customer support and our account manager have been able to support us with any issues that we have had, from managing our serial keys to issues we logged tickets to resolve. There are aspects of key management that have made it difficult over the years but support usually has worked with us.

It was not the best-evaluated tool in technical terms, the best evaluation is with Collibra, but the support and price offered surpassed Collibra, which is not supported in Brazil, so the choice of Informatica was more due to the support and price of the than for tool quality. It ends up meeting the basics of governance, but it's not good for privacy management.
