Overall Satisfaction with Redgate SQL Compare

  • Redgate SQL Compare is used in multiple departments within our organization. My company hadn't used Redgate products previously to my hiring, but it is spreading out through the company.
  • One of the challenges working with data, especially in different environments, is finding differences/changes that have occurred in the data. Redgate SQL Compare makes this very easy to accomplish, highlighting the differences and even giving you the option to update the data on one of the systems.

Pros

  • Data comparison
  • Data update

Cons

  • Speed of execution. It can be slow to run, especially on large datasets.
  • It has saved development time
We only looked at Redgate SQL Compare if I recall correctly.
They have a great community website where you can search for answers but are also very responsive when it comes to direct support.

Would you buy Redgate SQL Toolbelt Essentials again?

Full disclosure, I'm a huge fan of Redgate and their SQL products and have been for years. Redgate SQL Compare is well suited anytime you have sets of data you want to compare or update. If you have large tables that you're trying to compare, however, it may take a very long time to compare. It also can take a little time to figure out the user interface — both in setting up the comparison and analyzing the results.
