(1-1 of 1)Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
We use Redgate's SQL Compare to create our upgrade scripts for our application upgrades and deployments. We honestly couldn't do our upgrades without it! We make changes constantly to our database schema for our applications and managing those changes can be a hassle, let alone keeping track of what we need to put in the upgrade or new deployment scripts. Redgate's tools make this painless and worry free! Just check in your database changes into SQL and SQL Compare does the rest!
- Extremely fast!
- Compares from source control, not just physical databases. No need to keep copies of databases of varying versions laying around.
- Command line tools integrate easily into automated build processes.
- Even has plugins for products like Octopus Deploy!
- Not the best at initial setups. Sometimes there are error messages that have no bearing on what the problem really is.
- Documentation sometimes can be lacking, but their support team will make up for that.
- 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!
We haven't compared SQL Compare with other tools in a VERY long time because they are honestly THE BEST.
