Erwin Data Modeler is an enterprise modeling tool often used by government agencies and organizations to design, maintain, and implement databases to support enterprise applications. Government agencies and organizations usually select a standard data modeling tool in which they can consistently implement databases and maintain them. It provides a standard software toolset that all projects can use.
  • Generation/management of DDL.
  • Enforces standard naming conventions.
  • Builds logical and physical data models.
  • User interface
  • Many options available to learn.
Erwin Data Modeler is an enterprise-level tool and should be considered for managing large DB implementations or when aligning to an existing organization's naming standards/definitions/data types is needed. This is a key tool for a Data Architect to design databases. It is possible the cost would not make it ideal for small projects where scripts could be easily managed by scripts.
  • Standardization of Data Models
  • Generate Data Dictionaries
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.

We currently use erwin Data Modeler on a very small scale. We use it to standardize record abbreviations and field names.
  • It is reliable in the use case we have, to rename and standardize fields accurately.
  • erwin has as very great customer service team.
  • Interface is very old seeming
  • Small text and multiple buttons makes the user interface difficult to maneuver
erwin has many capabilities that our company does not use to the full potential. We simply use it as a naming conversion tool to standardize our field names.
  • Erwin has provided us with a tool to standardize our field names and record names to our business.
erwin was the only option available when I joined the company. I am unaware of any alternatives.
