Schema builder cons

Hi,
I just learned about the Schema builder. This is pretty useful for a novice.
 What are the cons of using schema builder or in other words where should one avoid to use schema builder?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Tapish,
As such there are no cons of using schema builder.
Schema Builder provides a dynamic environment to add new custom objects, custom fields, and relationships to your schema. This eliminates the need to click from page to page to find the details of a master-detail relationship or to add a new custom field to an object in your schema.

But using object manager to manage your custom/standard object gives you advantage to set page layouts, override standard button/ create new, creatre/manage triggers on that object and many more. All these options are available on left side bar of object manager.
Hope my answer helped you in some way.

Schema Builder is a fantastic tool in Salesforce that helps you view and manage objects, fields, and relationships between objects in a “graphical interface”. 

However, it doesn’t offer setting-up field-level security and adding fields to the page layout.

Due to these limitations, you have to opt for “manual” way of field creation and you have to set-up the page layouts in the same traditional way. Hope this helps!
