Overall Satisfaction with Liquibase

We are currently using Liquibase to carry out a migration of a client's databases to the DevOps circuit. The idea is to carry out the deployment of the DB scripts with Liquibase through Jenkins and to be able to keep a version of all the changes that are implemented. The only problem we had was when we tried to download the schematic with Sybase due to a product limitation with that engine.
  • Compatibility with many databases.
  • It's very easy to use.
  • Provides several ways to perform a rollback.
  • The changeset of the scripts could be improved.
  • The generate-changelog command is not working right for the Sybase database.
  • I like more examples for the different commands.
  • The rollback process is very simple, improving recovery times.
  • A good record of the implemented changes is achieved.
  • It is not easy to adapt it to existing projects.
The impact on the organization was positive, the teams had no problem adapting to the use of Liquibase for the deployment of the changes, and it was possible to maintain a consistent record of the changes implemented in the different environments.
Fortunately, I didn't have to use the Liquibase support. I was able to solve the problems with the documentation on the site or with the forum.

Do you think Liquibase delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Liquibase's feature set?

Yes

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

If easier to use Liquibase in new projects, but when you try to use it, adding Liquibase to an Existing Project is more complex than this process.
