Online, collaborative, super intuitive. I am able to visualize my Databricks schema in a matter of a few clicks, understand, find bottlenecks, document and communicate with my peers and cherry on top all my changes are version-controlled.

Feature Requests delivered at lightning speed by one of the product support staffs I have worked with. The training is top notch and free via their Data Modeling Academy or via personal sessions with their Customer Experience Managers and Support Staff, no more burning through contractual support minutes. They are there when you need them. The cloud-based model management is a huge plus compared to other tools that require you to spin-up a database to hold your data models off of your local drive. You get access to the tool on the cloud, set up a few controls like admins, and you are ready to model. With SqlDBM, you won't spend a week commissioning servers, installing the tool and repository, writing custom macros and making the tool brittle like its competitors after doing things like automatic conversions, templates (naming or repeated fields), and other data modeling standards enforcements right "out of the box." What makes SqlDBM the best is a great product with monthly, seamless, cloud-based version releases; it's collaboration with Snowflake; its simplicity; and its incredible staff.

What I really appreciate about SqlDBM is how closely it integrates with Snowflake, it fits seamlessly into the way I approach modern data and analytics projects. Since I actively push Snowflake as our core data platform, it’s been great to see how quickly SqlDBM supports new Snowflake features. It gives me confidence that both tools are evolving in sync and designed to work well together. Another major advantage is the dbt integration. Being able to create data models and ERDs in SqlDBM and then export dbt-ready YAML files has made handoffs between modelers and engineers much smoother. It’s eliminated a lot of manual steps and helped us build a much cleaner, end-to-end workflow—from design through to production.
