Redgare SQL Compare saves us time and money
- 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.

Fantastic time saving SQL tool
- Massive Time Saver
- The top benefit is time-saving in deployment. While it's still a manual process overall, it's so much better than doing this with SSMS and Winmerge!

Redgate SQL Compare: the only SQL comparison tool you'll ever need!
- It's reduced errors and bugs associated with deploying new application features and forgetting to apply required database changes (or incorrectly applying them).
- It's made deploying new features a quicker task, eliminating the often laborious task of synchronizing schemas and data across databases.
- These sometimes complex queries and operations can easily be performed by any developer and don't require the involvement of a database administrator to perform.
- This single tool has saved us TONS of man hours every sprint. We don't need to worry about writing these change scripts anymore. Just set it and forget it!
