erwin Data Modeler Reviews & Product Details

Erwin data catalog has a good integration capability which helps business to work cross functionally and achieve the end goal.

It facilitates metadata management, data lineage tracking and provides a centralized view of an organization's data landscape.

Also, it helps in implementing data governance policies and ensures compliance with data regulations by providing visibility and control over data assets Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Licensing and maintenance costs associated with the tool may be a consideration for certain organization especially smaller ones with limited budgets.

Also, it has dependency on data quality - the effectiveness of Erwin data catalog depends on the quality of existing metadata. If the data quality is poor, catalog benefit may be limited Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Erwin has the most robust set of features of all data catalog service providers. I like the UI and interface for users, and the standards that they use are industry standards and not a platform that you will be using one off integrations with. This is a bonus as it makes the platform flexible for developers to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've ran into instances where I've paid for services that didn't exist and the integration team that I was working with being unsure of the right messaging, direction, and ultimate accountability of the this type of issue. This is a huge problem for an organization implementing and counting on rolling out features post contract agreement, and left a lack of trust for a vendor who my company looked at as an industry standard.

ERWin Data Modeler supports relation data, File based data asset both in On Premises and Cloud Data Store. Connect IBM DB2 Database for new data model, reverse engineering and forward engineer to data definition related code to target data storage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ERwin license cost of latest version supporting cloud data store is more that market average.

Due to cost most of data modeling activities are moved to other data model tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of features in Erwin but the governance aspect of it is really helpful. the naming standards, data type standards and unification of data modeling standards. It really speeds up the data modeling process. I am not sure how i would do the data modeling without erwin data modeler but i am quite sure that it would be very difficult. Erwin also speeds up the process in exporting the Physical data model and helps you deploy it on any database which is very cool. I would still recommend it to my juniors.

Does it work on MAC? Last time when i checked it was on mac. It should be available on all platforms for greater audience. Earlier it was only available for dektops, now it is also available on cloud which is a great enhancement. I would try the latest version soon to see what has been added to erwin.
