Overall Satisfaction with Liquibase

Our database admins lacked some central controls to manage different type of databases like Oracle, Microsoft SQL and MySQL
We were searching for tools and found Liquibase. As Liquibase has an open source offering it looked like the right tool to explore our exact needs.

While we grew into the tool, the forums and the documentation we grew attached to Liquibase and decided to stay with the product for managing our change control on the different database types and go for the Pro offering to get standard support and some additional security automation.
  • One console to manage different types of database platforms
  • simplicity
  • Offers extensive knowledge sharing
  • They could expand the product features a bit more
  • Attract more partners
  • We have a better understanding and control over our database changes
  • The testing procedure for database changes got much easier
  • It's easier for database admins to work with a platform that is not their strongest point
We have less stress deploying changes knowing that we can revert easily.
Using the same tool for different database types also makes the proces alot easier.
This also gave us the opportunity to do more small changes instead of going for periodical large changes.
Liquibase has a heart for their product and want to give it the best they can.
It is not just another money centric company who want to maximize their profits.
The documentation is good, the community is good and the company also do what they can to support us all.
We didn't try any other products.
