Overall Satisfaction with Redgate SQL Data Compare
Redgate is used by the entire organization to Backup and Recover Microsoft SQL Servers hosted on HyperV and Physical Hosts.
It solved our business need for solid SQL Server Backups, Retention Policies, and De-duplication via Advanced Compression. It also provided a great Centralized Management of the SQL Server Environment. I would highly recommend it.

- It provided a Great Centralized Management Console. User can go to the Console to manage all of their Redgate Licenses and also configure SQL Server Backups.
- It does an excellent job at managing the SQL Backup and Compressing the backup file to allow for easy transport to DR Locations.
- It has great options for SQL Server Backup Jobs including copying to secondary storage locations.
- Better License Management would be an improvement. Currently no way to manage your licenses without contacting your representative.
- Possibly better testing of backups would an improvement. Ability to restore files in a Sandbox would be a great feature.
- It provides a great ROI from the aspect of extremely fast Database Restore capabilities.
- It maintains a strong data integrity required by the organization for their Data Backups and Operations.
We have used Symantecs Database Agents for Backup Exec and Veeam's Database Backup products. Symantec does not stack up well as compared to Redgate. Veeam is a considerable contender with their SQL Server Explorer. In some scenarios I would prefer to use VEEAM over Redgate, but Redgate is a very stable product that is extremely useful.
