Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The tool is a SaaS product where I just need to type a URL and start with the design process. I can integrate all elements of source control like GitHub, GitLab, etc. The tool also supports authentication-related provisions like SSH.""I consider the solution very scalable.""Its dashboards are most valuable. The drill-down of the dashboards is useful."

Cons
"There's no reporting with this tool, and there really should be. They should add that into future releases.""The software does not support webhooks. It doesn't support advanced versions of APIs. The tool also doesn't support advanced versions of specifications. The change that we do in one part of the model is not reflected throughout the specification. There are also some mutations in the clones. I am not able to do a local source control with the product as well.""Some customizations of the dashboard, such as having backup reports, would be useful."

"I would like to see the bandwidth increase allowing me to easily analyze more data.""The biggest problem with the Redgate SQL Toolbelt is just how heavy it is; it seems to take a lot of resources."
