Liquibase vs. ServiceNow DevOps

Liquibase is very well suited for database schema management. It works great for any DDL/DML deployments, changes made to database are easy to manage, track or troubleshoot. It comes with a wide variety of Rollback options. Liquibase Policy checks are a great way to enforce standards around Database code development across organization and prevent any unexpected from being deployed

ServiceNow DevOps is suitable for IT companies that are medium to large, It is great when it comes to keeping a track of all the activities, it takes a very little amount of time for creating tickets, with a small amount of information. It is a good tool for incident management, and change management. It will be less suitable for small-scale companies.

• Reducing Compatibility issues, when we upgraded Liquibase from 4.2 to 4.9. The same changeset which we were able to run on successfully using 4.2, part of it was now failing when tried to deploy using 4.9
• We are not able to see detailed logs (for different changes) in uDeploy when deploying changes through Liquibase
• Liquibase should rollback the if any one of the changes fails.

We are and will continue using Liquibase and it has become an integral part of our portfolio offering, any new product is by default adopting Liquibase stack.

Build process is too time consuming and getting extra DB instance takes a toll

I gave this rating because I feel their customer support staff have a very good and deep knowledge about the product and they are very helpful when we are stuck on something. The customer support is passionate about their product and they are always ready to help their customer as quickly as possible.

There is no real competitor when it comes to what Liquibase does - at least not at the time we considered it three years ago. It was an easy choice in this regard, but we could have said no to it if it made our workload more difficult. But our proof of concept showed there were easy wins to be had by implementing its software.

As mentioned previously, not sure if ServiceNow DevOps can handle tickets in an agile methodology, where everything is setup based on Sprints, stories and the whole agile terminology. We use OpsGenie to setup shifts for Production support teams, OpsGenie alerts people through a mobile app about production issues as well as to whom is Oncall support for multiple teams. Not sure this functionality is there in ServiceNow DevOps. For now those 3 applications are handling different functions in our company and would be difficult for me to compare them

• We need to re-educate developers to use Liquibase.
• In some cases, it is hard to align when several teams work on the same DB.
• On the other hand, Liquibase provides order and consistency in managing DB changes.
• Evidence and traceability are a plus.

• ROI
• Increased the NPR score.
• Central locale for information and troubleshooting.
