I have had a chance to use few other data modeling tools from Quest and Oracle, but I am most comfortable using erwin Data Modeler. They understand your data modeling needs and have designed the software to give you a feeling of completeness when you are designing a data model.

Pros
Quest Software
  • Reverse Engineering: I love the way we can import an SQL file containing schema meta data and generate ER diagram out of it. This is specifically useful if you are implementing erwin Data Modeler for an existing database.
  • Forward Engineering: We use this feature very frequently. Where we do database changes in our physical and logical data models and then generate deployment scripts for the changes made.
  • Physical vs Logical Models: I like to have my database model split into physical and logical models and at the same time still linked to each other. Any changes you make to logical model or physical model shows up in the other.

Cons
Quest Software
  • Cost is the single largest barrier to entry with this tool.
  • Would like to see a greater variety of export options available for use outside of the tool, for example as a vector graphic.
  • Support has been uneven at times.

I had a lot of experience using erwin Data Modeler for designing data models. I think it's pretty intuitive and easy to use. It has enough features to represent your database requirements in form of a model.

Support Rating
Quest Software
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.

Alternatives Considered
Quest Software
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 of the other free ones like Creately but didn't have much success.

Return on Investment
Quest Software
  • It is difficult to assign a monetary value to it. The initial learning curve was fairly long.
  • It allows us to have better support documentation.
  • It allows ease of communications between functional units.

RecordPoint Screenshots

Screenshot of the RecordPoint Data Trust platform's connector framework, which allows for connection of business systems for a comprehensive data inventory. All data passes from these connected sources through its intelligence engine, which detects signals like data size, type, location, metadata, sensitivity; and then it’s de-duped, inventoried and classified.Screenshot of RecordPoint's Intelligence Signaling feature, used to automatically detect private information at risk across data inventory. Managed content sources are crawled for privacy signals both Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Payment Card Industry (PCI) data, which is then applied to the metadata to ensure consistency regardless of the system origin.Screenshot of the Classification Intelligence feature that automatically categorizes data based on an organization’s policies faster than any human. Classification Intelligence features allow users to build Machine Learning (ML) models based on the organization's taxonomy to ensure accurate data categorization.Screenshot of the data minimization features that allow for defensible disposal including retention schedules and disposal approval workflows. As records become eligible for disposal, the RecordPoint platform will triage these records into a defined disposal management process that ensures the right people have the visibility and control to review and approve destruction before it occurs.
