RedgateA must have for DBAs2018-02-02T15:24:32.194ZFor my experience, SQL Compare is a DBA's "must have" software. Thanks to SQL Compare you can quickly and easily compare different databases in different environments. Personally, I use it above all to make comparisons between development or testing environments with for example production environments.,Comparison speed
Immediacy in the highlighting of differences
Easy to use,Some features or default preferences are not activated and are a bit hidden between the Options flags
License fee slightly high
If you upgrade the SQL server, you need to upgrade the version of SQL,10,Less chance of error during deployment
So much time earned
Less time to close a bug fix successfully,Luca CampanelliRedGate makes awesome SQL Server dev tools!2017-04-04T02:39:38.077ZI use RedGate SQL Compare within my department. In database development, it's an awesome tool to keep database structures and code in sync, especially with there are many hands working on a database. It helps in determining the REAL scope of structure and code migrations. I use it to both generate deployment scripts for later use and documentation and also to effect some migrations immediately. It depends on if I am trying to sync multiple dev dbs or a dev to qc db or from a dev/qc db to a prod db. It is very thorough in its comparisIt's. Its not unusual that I have a few of those "oh I forgot about that change" moments when running it. It saves me lots of time and frustration in performing db change migrations right the first time. I don't ever want to be without it!!,Deep, thorough SQL Server db comparisons in places you might not think to look.
Gives me flexibility on how I want to save or execute the SQL Compare results.
Remembers settings between uses that speed me in using it.
Has a clear and effective interface.,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.,10,Saves me lots of time in doing database migration jobs right the first time.
Improves quality of releases, thus reducing rollbacks or stumbles in migrations that need to be be fixed urgently. This improves client and user satisfaction which usually indirectly equates to ROI -- happy customers are paying customers.
I get raises because I can deliver better work in my department.,Rob Cowart
