Find out what your peers are saying about LeanIX, Sparx Systems, erwin by Quest and others in Enterprise Architecture Management."The product's most valuable feature is adaptability."
"SAP PowerDesigner is fairly stable."
"It's a great tool for documentation."
"I like the property sheet capability and the user-defined attributes that you can set up."
"In PowerDesigner, I primarily use BPM and modeling standards. I find it beneficial for process analysis, although I use data modeling to a lesser extent."
"It allows us to have proper documentation in terms of the databases."
"It's a stable system. It never crashes."
"The solution is a very pragmatic tool. It's quite easy to use."
"I like the connectivity or the lineage between the models and usability."
"They could provide a simplified process for building and deploying solutions in the cloud."
"The portal of SAP PowerDesigner could be better. The tool also needs more features and integration with other products, such as Collibra. It would be interesting for SAP PowerDesigner to have more integration."
"The focus is more on mainstream development environments, and I see a lack of focus on the open source world. I think SAP PowerDesigner probably interfaces better with SQL Server and Db2 but not with open source databases like PostgreSQL and MySQL."
"Checking-in models to the repository, especially when working remotely, is a slow process than can sometimes have problems with models being corrupted."
"This product lacks artificial intelligence that should be very good in terms of automatically identifying the classification of elements."
"Connectivity can be improved because it's not very good."
"Regarding improvements, I suggest enhancing the connection between objects in process and data models. It's crucial to define the structure of objects, especially when dealing with standard frameworks like VMM. There should be better visualization of arrows between BPM and data modeling objects, specifying their structure and impact. For future versions, a feature similar to Bizagi, allowing users to see forms or SQL representations of objects, would be valuable for demonstrating and presenting project details to stakeholders."
"The data governance should be improved, like ER/Studio."
"The solution itself does not need to be improved. However, they could add support for different languages."
