    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: 1. It reduces technical debt and accelerates a smooth transition, while harmonizing across data migration regions which replaces the legacy customization that are not for S4/HANA. 2. It cuts operational cost by 30% - 40% and improves SLA adherence, while process intelligence identifies duplicate or redundant approval steps when we know SAP ecosystems ties all modules together for better data insights. Cons: 1. Complicated and costly for small businesses. 2. Mature process required for better data feeding and data insights. 3. If non-SAP system data feed might cause misleading and incomplete data insights

    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.

    • Location agnostic (or home office agnostic) collaboration in virtual workshops
    • Internally within the team or with clients, I can prepare, gather materials, and lead during a workshop or meeting with SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite and feel incredibly positioned as the facilitator. Whether in real time or in an asynchronous manner.
    • The combination of highly adaptable and visual work with collaborative tools like forms, comments, timers, and point voting transforms it into a tool I use frequently.

    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.

    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.

    Training is taking way longer than expected. We have had more than 50 hours of training and still do not feel proficient enough to do anything meaningful with Process Intelligence. The Process Insights are pretty intuitive but does take a willingness to dig in and explore, but in general good right out of the box.

    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.
