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.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

We 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.

Cons:

Generation of the website with over 8,000 objects takes a few hours. We typically only publish changes 1-2/week.

Reasons 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.

Pros:

Dataedo 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

Reasons for choosing Dataedo

Ease of use, excellent documentation output.

Functionality

Pros:

When 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.

Cons:

There is nothing I can think of I must say.

Reasons 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

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

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.

Cons:

I don't really have any complaints. I am looking forward to some of the enhanced web sharing options which are in development.

Reasons for choosing Dataedo

The price, ease of use, and functionality were the prime selling points.

Very Good For Documenting Metrics

Functionality

Pros:

For the first time we are able to democratize logic and computation for each key metric in our company using this tool. The best part is we do everything through code. So whenever code changes documentation also change. This makes sure that documentation is always up t date. No separate manual effort needed to make sure documentation is up to date

Cons:

1. They have to move to web based tool soon. We are still installing the product on our machine. 2. They need to improve on giving customizable format for documentation

Reasons for choosing Dataedo

The ability to connect to different data types (Amazon Aurora and ORACLE) and the price point made it a clear winner. It was the only viable solution for our needs.

Reasons for switching to Dataedo

We needed a variety of connection types that weren't supported by SQL Developer.

Extensive Documentation at the Click of a Button

Pros:

The dynamic feature of its documentation. I can click a button and connect it to my server, and it automatically generates the documentation and relations between all of the tables.

Cons:

Since our database is pretty large, it takes some time to generate a report, but this is only when generating the report itself. Once it's generated, it's extremely fast to find what you need.

Pros:

We mainly used Dataedo for ERD generation ad-hoc. But when we saw where we could document our databases for our DevOps team, we readily implemented more features.

Cons:

At times, it feels a little slow to respond when updating/saving but that may be due to VPN access into our servers.
