Dataedo's ability to generate ERDs from undocumented data sources has been a key solution for many users and organizations. Through the tool, teams are able to visually understand how different tables in their data lake are related, improving communication between team members and project partners. The software has particularly provided value for new team members when learning about a project or database and avoids having to ask on a daily basis.
The ability to automate documentation using metadata with Dataedo has also been an essential feature for users. This provides users with less manual effort when creating documentation, freeing up time and resources for other tasks. Additionally, users appreciate that the updated data dictionary is easily accessible to all end-users with minimal setup. The provision of free tutorials and webinars by Dataedo has also been of immense help to users trying to get the most out of the tool. Overall, users consider Dataedo their go-to tool when creating new schemas or solving complex issues that require DB DFDs.
Intuitive and efficient ERD generation: Many reviewers have praised Dataedo for its ability to generate Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERDs) that are useful, intuitive and easy-to-use. The tool has been commended by multiple users for being able to create diagrams quickly while also providing valuable insights into database relations.
Effective documentation of complex back-end DB projects: Another common positive sentiment shared among reviewers is the effectiveness of Dataedo in documenting complex back-end DB projects. Users appreciate how the software can combine both database and application documentation into a fuller technical process, making it an invaluable resource for developers.
Flexible customization options: Several reviewers have positively commented on the flexibility of customization options available with Dataedo. The ability to use markup text in descriptions, add foreign keys for future implementation, as well as publish HTML documentation were all mentioned as features that allowed users to tailor their experience according to their needs.
Installation Process: Users have found the software's installation process to be cumbersome and time-consuming, causing inconvenience. Some reviewers felt that the software should move to a web-based tool soon.
Documentation Format: Reviewers have expressed dissatisfaction with the documentation format customization options of the software. Generating a website with over 8,000 objects can take several hours, and there is no support for customizable Excel templates.
macOS Support: Some users have pointed out that the software lacks real support for macOS and only supports Windows, which can limit its accessibility to potential customers who do not use Windows-based systems.
