Overall Satisfaction with SAP PowerDesigner
SAP Sybase PowerDesigner is the ultimate tool for creating conceptual, logical, and physical data modeling for many database vendors. It also provides ease of multi-user architecture and development environments with a supporting repository structure. Team governance and object standardization can be applied as well. It supports various database vendors, and impact analysis is one of the most powerful aspects of the tool.

Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler : Unfortunately this tool only supports Oracle Databases as a target database, but has many features similar to SAP Sybase PowerDesigner.
erwin Data Modeler: Has some issues when switching from Conceptual Model to Physical Model, Impact Analysis, and formatting copy and pasting.
Vertabelo: Only supports online models and from a governance perspective, it is impossible for me to connect my target database with an online application because of company policy and regulation requirements.
