Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."The reverse engineering is the most important feature."
"This application does a lot of things, as do competitor products, but the main reason to go with this product was the ability to create many automations, where we can improve our work and our process."
"It's much easier to develop the database structure and change it on the fly, rather than doing it manually in SQL Server itself. That saves time."
"The most valuable features are... those that enable me to represent the database to the development community and the business users."
"The most important features are logical and physical models that we can compare and develop. Also, the Data Dictionary can be created out of your studio. Finally, database schemas help understand the logic that's behind the scene, behind the SQL tables. Especially when there are a lot of them, the schemas help everyone understand the business processes."
"The tool is simple to use."
"The interface is really simple to use and it allows me to pick and choose which tables I want to reverse engineer."
"We use the solution to create data models which describe our company's data architecture"
"SQL Server Configuration: This allows admins to compare and edit server configurations for one or more SQL servers saving a lot of time when managing large numbers of instances."
"This product allows for much easier cross server monitoring and administration."
"It is easy to track the reports, this is what is most valuable for me."
"The most valuable feature is SQL Search."
"It isn't easy to compare the thousands of tables in the model against the database. The tool should improve the synchronization within the large organization"
"The number of options can be overwhelming at times. That is not necessarily a bad thing but for a newbie, it can be daunting."
"The screens are a bit outdated. They could use a new look and feel."
"They allow functionalities to be released before the full tests for catching and correcting errors are completed."
"when there are some links to the external databases, if this database is not structured it is not uploaded. It gives me errors and I cannot see the view that was created on this structure and I cannot change those views, even manually. It skips the views. I have to ignore those views. I cannot re-upload them because it gives me an error."
"I would like to see better documentation/help for the Data Architect tool. Creation of tutorials would be nice, as there are some features which are not as clearly defined as they should be."
"We would always like to see Repository performance improve, checking in and checking out."
"The model diagram because very clumsy when you save it on the team server and the models are very big."
"A set of T-SQL admin snippets might be useful, e.g., code to create users, databases, indexes, etc. It would definitely be welcomed in the bundle."
"The biggest problem with the Redgate SQL Toolbelt is just how heavy it is; it seems to take a lot of resources."
"I would like to see the bandwidth increase allowing me to easily analyze more data."
