Great Tool for the Money
For me this product is much easier to use and has a lot of feature than other products costing twice as much. We are not a large company to cost is important.
CONSAlthough I work with ERBuilder almost everyday, I have not rally found any cons that would make me second guess my purchase.
Reasons for switching to ERBuilder
Tired of using multiple tools for the same purpose.

Support for using generated CRUD screens is very poor
I was excited about the potential of generating CRUD screens for simple tables. The tool does generate HTML screens but they are not usable. They do not provide any direction on how to connect to the database, except that "you must do it manually"
PROSreverse engineering of schema to create ER diagram worked well. However, that is not the feature I was interested in when purchasing.
CONSThere should be a user support forum where users can help each other, but I have not found anything like that. Support from the company on how to do things is very poor.
Reason for choosing ERBuilder
I am only in the evaluation stage, but we will not be using the product due to the lack of support. Since I have a one year enterprise license, I will keep looking at the problem now and then. Especially if ERBUILDER notices this review and addresses my support question
Vendor Response
First, let me thank you for your review. As explained before by our support team, our tool does not allow you to generate an entire web application (backend and frontend). With ERBuilder you can generate only CRUD UI as mentioned on our website. It generates only the front-end source code. It does not generate backend source code. You have to develop the backend yourself outside our tool. Our support team answered to your different emails on time. We are very disappointed by reading your negative review. We don't understand why you're rating us on a feature our software doesn't offer (and no other competitive data modeling tool does).

Great tool!
It is an inexpensive tool that helps the data engineer to build relational databases. As a freelancer, generating DDL files and HTML documentation for my clients is critical, and ERBuilder allows me to do it perfectly.
CONSSomething I miss is a function in other tools that mirrors a table in your diagram. Depending on how your data is structured, having duplicated images of the tables in the data model avoids crossing relationships and makes it clearer to read and understand the database logic.It would also be great to have volumetry calculations for large databases; it is handy.
Vendor Response
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with ERBuilder. We appreciate your feedback regarding the feature you miss, and we will take it into consideration for future updates.

Include export and import data from one database to another
Very easy to learn how to use the tool, I managed to normalize a database that was totally non-standardized, but I didn't notice that the tool did not have the possibility of exporting and import data. Now I have to look for another tool. And reverse engineering can only be done once on the project.
PROSExcellent reverse engineering. Create very good automatic documentation.
CONSYou do not have to export data and import data, it would be ideal for those who are going to normalize a database to have this option.
Vendor Response
Thank you for your review. For ERBuilder Data modeler, we are focusing our work on features related to data modeling. The import and export of data will be part of another product which is under study.

Good Tool For the Job
ER Builder solved the requirement of needing to build ERDs without having to purchase overpriced and overpowered tools like Visio and Erwin. I don't need most of the features of either of those software packages and just needed an effective way to develop ERDs for internal communication and database development. This tool fits the bill.
PROSDatabase create scripts are done automatically for both creation and changes Clean interface for describing table relationships Easily reverse engineers an existing databases Multiple different popular database languages to create/change in
CONSThe "auto-link" feature on the key relationships was not intuitive to turn on in my opinion, and I would have expected it out of the box to be turned on. My first models were very difficult to read because I couldn't find this feature. Finally talked to support and after a bit of back and forth they understood what I was asking for. I wish I could build FK relationships easily from within the table creation dialogue box
Vendor Response
Thanks for the awesome review, Alex! We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. In response to your first con about the "Auto-link" feature, we will add it to the ERBuilder roadmap for the next releases. On the other hand, about building FK relationships from the table creation dialogue box, we will send you a direct message so we can talk more about it. Again, thank you for taking the time to review our product!

ERBuilder is a Great tool that offers more value for the price
My experience with ERBuilder was exceptional. From the very beginning, I was impressed with their professional and courteous customer support. They were quick to respond to any questions I had and always went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction. Not only was their support team top-notch, but their product was also of great quality. As someone who has worked with various data modeling tools in the past, I found ERBuilder to be intuitive and user-friendly. It made the entire process much smoother and more efficient. Overall, I would highly recommend ERBuilder to anyone in need of a reliable and effective data modeling tool. Their exceptional customer service and great product make them a standout organization to work with.
PROSI have been using ER Builder for a while now, and it provides all the features and functionality offered by other competitive tools available in the market. However, this tool is available at a much lower price than its counterparts. I am the only user of this tool in my small company, but it has brought Enterprise-Class tools to my doorstep. This has enabled me to implement the same modeling processes that large companies with Enterprise Architecture groups have set up. The tool has proven to be a game-changer for my company as it has allowed me to model our architecture and infrastructure in a more organized and streamlined manner. The implementation of this tool has brought a significant improvement in our company's overall efficiency and productivity. Furthermore, the tool has also provided me with the opportunity to collaborate with other team members on different projects, which has further streamlined the modeling process and saved us a lot of time. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the tool I am using and would highly recommend it to other small companies looking to improve their modeling processes while staying within their budget.
CONSWould like the Git feature throughout all options. It is normal for source control to be in all editions.
Reason for choosing ERBuilder
The software offers great value for its price. Its features are hard to beat.

Still learning how to use it. It is not very user friendly and I don't see any materials/tutorials on how to use it. A few example to touch upon the key features of the product would make it easier to learn so I can actually get to use the product as intended..

ER builder
ER builder is a good program since it does exactly what it's supposed to do. In the near future we're going to change our database platform and I guess that ER uilder will be a great help.
PROSAfter Visio modeler stopped the generating of DDL we needed a replacement. ER builder builds a ddl file of the model.
CONSWith a big size database the time to load the model is long. Since changing the databasemodel is not a daily job this isn't a big issue.
