What do you like best about erwin Data Modeler?

There are a lot of features in Erwin but the governance aspect of it is really helpful. the naming standards, data type standards and unification of data modeling standards. It really speeds up the data modeling process. I am not sure how i would do the data modeling without erwin data modeler but i am quite sure that it would be very difficult. Erwin also speeds up the process in exporting the Physical data model and helps you deploy it on any database which is very cool. I would still recommend it to my juniors.
