Review Assistant vs. Redgate SQL Prompt

Combined with Code Compare and running Review Assistant on the TFS server, it provides a good way to share code and comments amount our team. It does everything we need it to do for code reviews and has a reporting tool.

If you're working with MSSMS or anything that writes SQL you will want this.

• Review Assistant does everything that I was hoping the default Visual Studio reviews would do. The iterations through accept/reject were the key winner.
• The functionality for code reviews is great, especially the ability to comment on specific lines of code.
• You don't have to leave the IDE.

• Color code tabs based on connected server
• Find joins easily
• Find tables easily
• code suggestions
• Format sql

Incentivized

• Integration with JIRA is missing.
• Ability to search, filter and order comments.
• There is no support for Visual Studio Code.

• maybe licensing. I believe they went to a subscription based license and you have to renew each year. Would like it if you purchased it and paid for maintenance

It's easy to use and not that hard to understand

Microsoft provides a handy feature for code review inside the Visual Studio IDE. Review Assistant, though providing a similar code review user experience, supports work scenarios that are not covered by the Microsoft's IDE. Moreover, the version control systems support is broader in Review Assistant.

• The tool saves a huge amount of time while reviewing the code. Review Assistant supports threaded comments, so team members can discuss code without scheduled meetings.

• It speeds up writing queries and finding relationships in the db.
• It helps with keeping connections separate when dealing with multiple servers
