Great documentation tool, produces excellent reports and functional (searchable) documentation
Great overall experience, new features are available frequently (~monthly) and bugs are corrected quickly. Very personal service when help is needed.
PROSWe mostly use the ability to publish the software to an internal website so that the entire team can read and review the data models (>10) we use in our applications. Having a searchable website with the documentation is much more useful than 5000+ pages of PDF. Allowing the use of some markup text in the descriptions does present a nice website with minimal effort.
CONSGeneration of the website with over 8,000 objects takes a few hours. We typically only publish changes 1-2/week.
Reason for choosing Dataedo
Best resulting documentation.
Reasons for switching to Dataedo
Easier to manage centrally.

A trusted tool in my toolbelt
Being able to automate documentation using metadata has given the tooling process a level of sophistication I have not seen for quite a while. I can keep the data dictionary up to date easily and make it accessible to all of the end-users. I am very happy with this tool.
PROSDataedo was the choice for me after evaluating a number of tools on the market, looking primarily for a macOS solution. I still went forward with Dataedo, even though it was only Windows (it uses a wine implementation for macOS support). It does a great job of database connectivity and reverse-engineering the databases. It produces nice models and even nicer documentation. It has command-line options that allow me to support most of my workflow automatically. And, it stores its data in an MSSQL database that allows me to make model updates in bulk. I love the ability to really test-drive the software with zero-commitment. My primary use case is database/model documentation and it excels at this.
CONS* No customizable Excel templates * No real support for macOS - only Windows * E/R Diagram auto-layout is not helpful with more than a handful of tables * Some things require tedious entry/input * I wish it had better support for Module Management * Being able to version releases and interaction with git/github would be helpful
Reason for choosing Dataedo
Ease of use, excellent documentation output.

Dataedo review
Dataedo has been a great addition to my team's toolkit. It has been invaluable for new team members and it also makes engagement with project partners much easier.
PROSWhen we purchased Dataedo few years back, features were more limited in comparison to what they are now. But there were a few gems that fit our needs really well. e.g. documenting relations that aren't enforced in the DB. Dataedo was easy to implement and intuitive to use. The support from the Dataedo team has always been very prompt and helpful. The product keeps evolving and the newest version has some very cool features e.g business glossary.
CONSThere is nothing I can think of I must say.
Reason for choosing Dataedo
Dataedo had features we were looking for and no excess that we didn't need. The product was well priced and Dataedo were very responsive to our questions.

Very Useful and Unique Product
As a developer, documentation can be tedious. We were previously using a MS Word Template to do tech designs, requiring a lot of manual entry to document database objects, columns and the database portion of the integrations. This has replaced that. It is invaluable from a database documentation perspective and also being able to combine it with application documentation of a fuller technical process. Just check the database objects related to the application and your DB portion of documentation is covered.
CONSI don't really have any complaints. I am looking forward to some of the enhanced web sharing options which are in development.
Reason for choosing Dataedo
The price, ease of use, and functionality were the prime selling points.
