    We use SQL Compare to troubleshoot performance problems quite a bit since our data model is more like a template and not everything is 100% in sync and customization occurs between different client databases. We continually get pulled into performance issues and the developers will say Client A is performing different than Client B, why? Using SQL Compare, we usually find that one client was tuned and had indexes altered or added that weren't deployed to all clients or other objects weren't deployed correctly during the release. On the other hand, since our data model practices allow client databases to drift I tried to create a new golden image by trying to compare multiple databases based on the same data model and found it to be a very difficult process to complete using SQL Compare. SQL Compare gave me too much information and doesn't allow enough filtering to eliminate a lot of the noise.

    Well suited: For a company or organization that knows what they need to solve problems or optimize processes. TrustRadius for Buyers is ideal as you can check out categories and alternatives and read super-specific reviews that apply to your use case. Less appropriate: If you are unsure what you're trying to accomplish or the area/function to optimize with software, you can be overwhelmed with the vast offer of reviews because you don't know where to look.

    Pros
    Redgate
    • Simple and easy comparison of database schemas and data. Differences can be copied or synced from one database to another with a click of a button.
    • You can save "projects" so that you can easily rerun a previous comparison whenever you need to.
    • It has a very simple, easy to learn interface. I've never needed to read any documentation or watch any tutorials in order to figure out how to do something.

    Cons
    Redgate
    • Pricing.... I wish there was an inexpensive developer version I could buy for myself.
    • Portability.... I would like to use it from a flash drive so I can use it where ever I am asked to work.
    • Unbundled.... This may be available already but I dont' recall I can buy it cheaply as a stand-alone product. Its only part of the bundle - cost effectively.

    since
    it is a page that provides data although very long to read are specific and
    technical as they are, data of people who have used or use the program you may
    need for the company, and help us solve a problem, without the need to hire
    external consultants or expensive programs, saving us money in the company

    It's a good tool to have, but becomes expensive to buy a user license for each developer.

    Again, I didn’t have much to do with the implementation of the product. I heard from internal sources that there were few issues with scalability but they were resolved

    I've used Visual Studio Database Projects for this type of work in the past with some success, but Redgate SQL Compare is faster, more transparent, and simply easier to use. Faster is self explanatory. More transparent, means that it's much easier to set up your desired options for schema change deployment scripts. Easier to use, It's really dead simple. Start a project, connect your source, connect destination, click compare.

    While G2 and Capterra cover a wider range of categories, TrustRadius focuses specifically on business technology solutions. TrustRadius is known for its emphasis on verifying user reviews and providing in-depth insights. Their user base consists of professionals and decision-makers, making it a valuable resource for trustworthy and detailed feedback. G2 and Capterra offer broader market coverage and a wide range of products. I personally do not prioritize any specific platform. Wherever I find detailed information, I use it.

    • Makes deployment fairly simple. Cutting our deployment time down.
    • With the SDK, we can customize our deployment process very quickly and easily.
    • History is not great, it does create scripts you can go back and see but it would be nice to have a quicker version view by object to save time.

    • It's had a positive impact in helping us be confident in the selections we make
    • It's also had a positive impact in opening us up to other products/offerings we would not have known about
    • It's further allowed us to have deeper conversations with vendors about potential pitfalls we would not have known about otherwise
