Overall Satisfaction with ApexSQL by Quest

ApexSQL has been used by the organization to help manage MS SQL Server and automate some tasks that had been done manually by developers in the past. We mainly used it to try to streamline our devOps pipeline and use it to handle some of the auditing and monitoring tasks that had previously been done by devs or by our devops partners.
  • Pretty scalable and relatively straight-forward to deploy
  • Useful tools that speed up table comparisons and auditing
  • Able to create a customized pipeline and run it through a dashboard
  • Source control can be a bit difficult with large database tables
  • Many tools so can be complex for new developers to onboard and use efficiently
  • Reduced the time needed to maintain and audit our MS SQL databases
  • Automation reduced the time and effort needed to execute on daily tasks
  • Increased efficiency overall by making data comparisons and other day to day tasks more efficient
ApexSQL has good tools that were compatible with the current infrastructure of our organization and was a useful supplement to our MS SQL databases and enabled us to automate and do data comparisons and other functions with higher ease. It was mainly selected to be a toolbox that developers can use to increase overall efficiency.

ApexSQL is well suited for development teams that have a firm grasp of SQL and previous experience with DBMS in general. If the individual or organization has the prerequisite experience and know what they're doing, ApexSQL can save a lot of time and enable automation. In general it's useful for organizations that need to do large amounts of SQL database administration.
