Also can be used to compare multiple model and merge the files in multiple format like you can compare Erwin files, DDL files etc. It gives you lot of options for reporting like you can choose report designer to create reports on any level like at subject area level or entity level etc.I really like the reverse engineer option of Erwin which can help you generate data model from existing database. > > **Cons**: I think the ability to generate larger model reports is little harder as it takes lot of time and some times the application crashes with which you might loose certain changes. For larger model to get the reports get little tough as the tool becomes slow and some improvement in that area would really help. > > We are trying to build a enterprise data model for commercial product which acts as a reference point for 7 different databases. It helps us analyze business requirement and the flow of data between multiple systems. I like the workgroup version of Erwin as it lets you work with multiple people on your team at the same time with the version control options and check-in and check-out option. ----- ### "ErWin Data Modeler" — 5.0/5 > **Martha** | *12 November 2022* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is one of the best Data Modelling software I have ever used in my entire life of over 27yrs working in IT. I love love loved eRwin. > > **Cons**: It is not every day that one says that I have no issues with a software. I frankly would die over and use ErWin again. > > My review of ErWin might be a bit biased. Fresh out of University doing data modelling, designing and implementing Databases, ErWin was a Gift. My employer sent me on some courses. I think it was Computer Associates (CA) which was running the training that time. The training was so good, when I returned to work, I hit the ground running. ----- ### "The Erwin institutional data modeler is well suited for developing multilevel abstractions of data" — 4.0/5 > **James** | *3 May 2018* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Erwin data modeler is well suited for describing multiple levels of data abstractions. This includes modeling data layers from the logical layers of entity relationships down to the physical levels. Its ability to interact with other popular configuration management software allows versioning of the models to be tracked properly. > > **Cons**: There is not as much control over the visual diagramming as there might be, keeping the visual representations of the data models from being as detailed and informative as they could be. > > This software allows the data models to be created and managed easily and with a decent amount of control ----- ### "This is a very usefull tool to model data, I used it to extract data model from differents DB" — 5.0/5 > **Nelly** | *9 July 2018* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The most I like about Erwin Data Model is that it´s very easy to use to model a new data base, to modify a data base model already created and you can conect to a data base and generate a data model using reverse engineerig. > > **Cons**: I like a lot this software and It has everything I need to generate a data model, so I dont have anything to dislike about it. > > I used reverse engineering with this software to generate data model from Data Bases already created that had haven´t a previos model. ----- ### "It is a very good software for modeling data at the enterprise level" — 5.0/5 > **Richard** | *7 May 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was one of my first programs in the world of computer science, I learned to model data from relational databases, it is very complete and generates code for different databases, it is very detailed and easy to use > > **Cons**: good thing about this software, is that it is not free despite having a trial version, and only serves to model databases > > I learned to model relational databases, generate data dictionary, and generate SQL code ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/269540/erwin-data-modeler?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/269540/erwin-data-modeler) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
