"Powerful and flexible tool for entity development"
What do you like best about Entity Developer?

Entity Developer is a tremendous time-saver and is very flexible. Unlike other tools for generating EF code it is possible to setup Entity Developer to do anything from simple model generation to much more complex mapping and transformations. It has replaced several different in-house tools for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Entity Developer?

Entity Developer is a capable product and extensive configuration options are available. It can be a little overwhelming at first to find exactly what you need, and while the documentation is well-done it would be helpful to have more samples/examples. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
