Use Cases and Deployment Scope
To have a single point of centralized management for our databases. With Altova DatabaseSpy, DB admins will have the ability to run scripts and queries in a at least 2 steps only thus increasing productivity.

Due to the need of daily reporting, this is done so easily on the UI with the use of scripts per each databases. We used the graphical design editor for reporting as well.
Pros and Cons
  • High performing system regardless of how many DBs are integrated
  • Graphical DB design editor is useful for bird's eye view of the DB structure of the whole infrastructure
  • Single point of reference / administration
  • Since it is a DB administration tool, it works by itself. If you have existing system like this you might encounter some obstacle when integrating.
Likelihood to Recommend
It's basically like mRemoteNG for databases. Documentation is complete so admins can easily utilize this.
Most Important Features
  • Graphical DB editor
  • Centralized administration of DBs
Return on Investment
  • No need to hire additional DB admins since this can be learned and administered by existing admins.
Alternatives Considered
For me, this is basically like mRemoteNG for databases. I mentioned this so people can have a general idea on one of its feature.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Altova DatabaseSpy is used in 2 ways. First, it is used to access Oracle and SQL Server Database for various ad-hoc queries, mostly developing and running ad-hoc SQL statements. Second, the graphical database design is used to view and edit database structures. The database queries are used for a wide range of reasons, from interrogating the database for specific data elements to reporting general or specific data points to [query] specific tables. The graphical DB design editor is used to view and edit the various database structures through one UI.
Pros and Cons
  • SQL templates
  • SQL query results window
  • Design editor shows graphic representation of DB structures
  • Good performance
  • Improved SQL query debugging capabilities
  • Ability to nest queries
  • Does not integrate with other DB administration tools or query tools
Likelihood to Recommend
Altova DatabaseSpy is well suited for dynamic environments that move quickly and have a need to develop and run small to medium-size ad-hoc queries quickly and easily. The tool is intuitive and relatively easy to learn and come up to speed. The tool may not be best suited for large and very large, and complex queries.
Most Important Features
  • Smaller footprint
  • Easy to learn and easy to master
  • Can access multiple types of databases
Return on Investment
  • Enabled us to continue to provide excellent customer support with a smaller team
  • Lower cost helped us balance our budget
  • Reduced the need for spending extra funds on training
Alternatives Considered
Both share several similar features and similar capabilities. They are also similar in terms of some of the functionality. Altova DatabaseSpy offers some additional benefits, such as [the] ability to access a wide range of databases.
