Review Source Verified Reviewer Owner Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Support for using generated CRUD screens is very poor" January 3, 2022 2.0 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" Pros reverse engineering of schema to create ER diagram worked well. However, that is not the feature I was interested in when purchasing. Cons There 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.

Review Source R Reviewer CTO Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "ERBuilder is a Great tool that offers more value for the price" May 2, 2024 5.0 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. Pros I 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. Cons Would like the Git feature throughout all options. It is normal for source control to be in all editions.

February 8, 2023 4.0 Pros 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. Cons Something 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. Review Source R Reviewer Payment Consultant Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great Tool for design and Reverse Engineering" August 24, 2021 4.0 In new projects, it helped being as a staring point of application design.

Review Source R Reviewer Managing Partner Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Good Tool For the Job" June 22, 2021 5.0 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. Pros Database 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 Cons The "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 Review Source R Reviewer Executive Communication Designer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Enjoyed using the app!"

Pros ER builder helped me to develop good ENTITY RELATIONSHIP diagram with accurate shapes and matches Cons ER builder has good interface but it is complex to create and draw the diagrams Review Source R Reviewer Senior developer Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "ERBuilder to build database" August 1, 2022 5.0 Pros the simplicity to build a database model Cons No real difficulties, I install it and work with it as I like Review Source R Reviewer Sr. Development Engineer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "AP Review" June 17, 2020 2.0 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.

Now I have to look for another tool. And reverse engineering can only be done once on the project. Pros Excellent reverse engineering. Create very good automatic documentation. Cons You 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.
