Overall Satisfaction with Liquibase

We use Liquibase to maintain our changelogs while transforming our data in snowflake and deploying it to test and prod. Liquibase changelogs help us keep up to date with our changes and do the rollback in case of any error. Liquibase also provides many validation features that will come in handy if you want to establish checks during your code deployment. It's a great product with excellent customer service.

Pros

  • Maintain chagelogs
  • Validation checks
  • Rollback changes
  • Keeps track of changes in Changelog file

Cons

  • Maybe add some features that would give customers little freedom to change a few things in case of some checksum errors.
  • fewer database error
It's doing a great job for our database administration process.
Excellent customer support team.Very knowledgeable about their products and always there to help. I have had a great experience with their support team.

Did Liquibase live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Liquibase go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Liquibase again?

Yes

It works great for the mid-sized team, while you should plan a little better while maintaining your changes for the large group because the order does matter in liquibase deployment, so you want to be very consistent while deploying your changes. Otherwise, you will get a checksum error, which can cause you some delay in fixing that. Plus, your team should be fond of the database migration process, not the state change migration. So in the latter case, the runonchange parameter will work great for you.
