I have used TierDeveloper personally and I�m very much satisfied with the product. Here are some of the strengths and weaknesses of TierDeveloper(in my opinion)

 

Strenghts

Easy to use. Learning curve is around 1 hour.

Customization of the generated code is possible through TemplateIDE tool provided with it.

Advanced features like synchronization with the database, automatic creation of relationships, inheritance support, object binding support etc.

Very responsive support staff

Support for large number of databases

Include your own business logic through use of Custom Hooks

Import Objects from Assembly and XML File

Support for webservices

Generates fully working database applications for real-life use

 

Weaknesses

Documentation is not very detailed.

MySQL and Postgres support is missing.
