Automated database releases have reduced errors and now save a full day of deployment effort

The best features that Redgate Flyway offers, if I had to pick a few that really stand out, would be multi-environment support. On the migrations tab, I do not need to go to an environment and change settings or anything. I simply change the branches of the environment and it shows me what is available and what has been run on a certain environment. The environment feature is very user-friendly and helpful, so I would keep it at the top of my list. The feature of changing branches on the migrations tab is very helpful. An example of how Redgate Flyway specifically helped with discrepancies is that previously we did not have any tool recording database changes. We work on an Agile Scrum pattern, so we have to do deployments frequently, within every two to three weeks or sometimes four weeks. Previously, we had code repositories for front-end and back-end, but for the database side, we did not have any repository. We were not saving database-related changes in any GitHub or AWS CodeCommit repositories. Every time, we have a Jira board where developers update their scripts. For example, if I work on a ticket and update a stored procedure, I must mention the stored procedure on the ticket. When deployment time arrives, the release manager must pull out or scan all the tickets and extract the objects. For example, if we deploy 10 Jira tickets from a sprint in the next release, we must go through all 10 tickets and see the post-deployments of their tickets. Then we extracted the objects from the development environment, deployed on stage, and then deployed on production. In this scenario, many objects and discrepancies occurred. Sometimes a developer or the release manager would forget the object to take to production. Now, after using Redgate Flyway, I have restricted access as the release manager of my team. I manage the release for my team and have restricted developer access to environments other than the development environment. If developers want to take anything to the next environment such as demo, staging, or production, they must make a script. When they create a script, it is in our record. Now, after using Redgate Flyway, we do not need to scan all the tickets on Jira or see the post-deployments of each ticket. We simply view the Redgate Flyway script showing what has been run from this to this version, and what pending deployments need to be run on production. In this way, it has helped tremendously. I can share that the migrations tab and branch changing helped my team in a specific situation during our second last sprint. Two developers were working on the same object, and one change needed to be deployed on stage while another change needed to be deployed on the demo environment, which is our QA level. Our QA and demo are the same environment, and then we have stage and production. We have three environments other than development. Previously, without Redgate Flyway, what could have happened is that we would take the stored procedure from demo if we needed to deploy it on stage and take it directly to stage. This was our previous practice where we would go to the database explorer, take the stored procedure, and move it to the next environment with the ticket. Now with Redgate Flyway, we have different versions of that stored procedure. We simply took the version of the stored procedure that needed to be on stage, and the second version that needed to be on the QA level remained there. Redgate Flyway helped in this case, and we have many cases.

Zero trust security has provided flexible protection and inspects real-time traffic effectively

From my perspective, I think about Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only], not much could be improved. It is working very well. The only thing is about the POP presence, where you hook into a continent or country. In some countries, South America has some coverage, but not as much as for instance North America or Europe. If you talk with large enterprises or multinationals that are everywhere in the world present, they might need something in Africa. Africa is also a continent where you have more and more enterprises having their subsidiaries there. Africa is not covered very thoroughly, in my opinion. It only has South Africa with points of presence and then Egypt. It is either very up north or very down south. If you are in the middle of Africa, which is an extremely large continent, then you have delays and latencies. That is not very nice. However, that is not only counting for Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only]; this is also for all competitors. I am working with Cato Networks now for more than a year and the same story applies to them. I also know other competitors of Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only] which have even less coverage. It is not something that I think everyone is keen on to expand in Africa because they do not see much traffic. However, if you have multinationals that are operating in Africa, then you cannot offer very good quality service because you have large latency if they are in the middle of Africa. Not even in the middle of Africa; if you talk about under Morocco, then you either connect to Cairo or you connect to Spain. Spain is closest, but if you always have redundancy, and if Spain falls out for whatever reason, even though that is not happening much because the data centers are very stable, then you have an enormous latency going to Cairo. Coming with this to more North Africa, if you talk about Angola and Mozambique in the middle of Africa, then you do not have much choice. You always have a lot of latency there. That is unfortunate. On the technical terms, that is where I stand. I mentioned this before, and it is still the same. I think I talked with you a few years back about this; I think three or four years ago. I mentioned exactly this topic then, and it is still the same. The other thing is, I think in terms of software, they are doing their best. They are buying in firms and buying in solutions, so they are expanding, and that is fine. I would rather say to Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only] to have better customer service because Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only], even with large enterprises and huge companies that I work for, they notice that Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only] service management is different. They are very big and they have less attention to client matters. If that would improve, it would be the best for Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only] to have better customer success managers, but more attention to clients and more direct interface to the deep core of the company for client matters if they have questions or specific things that they do not currently have. If I have something with the client, I have sometimes to escalate to the vice president that I know because I worked with him before, and that is unfortunate. That should not be necessary to go that route. You should have things arranged directly with an account manager or customer success manager of your client if you have problems, or at least have responses saying, this is impossible, we cannot do that because of this, this, this, whatever. At least you should have an answer. I think in the future, everyone in the branch is focusing on AI and quantum computing as a mix. I think on that end, everyone in the domain is working hard to find the best solutions against those two challenges. I think Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only] is doing their best as well there. That is the challenge for the upcoming years, to get the best answers to it. Eventually, they will compete with the same; fight it back with the same power. That means also with quantum computing or specially designed AI to attack back when attackers are attacking. I am not the genius saying that there will be a sort of war game coming up in the future in this domain. However, they are working on it, as all the others are doing, and I think that is absolutely the focus for the coming years because that is where everyone has concern about.

Cons

"Regarding the error mechanism, when we see a Redgate Flyway error in my Spring Boot application, it is very difficult to understand what went wrong."

"Redgate Flyway works well for small teams but presents conflict issues with larger teams due to version control."

"Sometimes, errors with migrations can be very disappointing, as often it requires deleting everything and starting over."

"Particularly, the error handling mechanism or the force update or forced migration are things I would like to see improved; it is very hard to understand or debug exactly where this migration has failed, and I would not feel confident doing this in a production environment."

"I would not recommend Redgate Flyway for any Microsoft-based solutions or .NET, as it is not compatible at all based on my experience."

"I cannot say that it is highly secure, but the features are good."

"I would rather say to Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only] to have better customer service because Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only], even with large enterprises and huge companies that I work for, they notice that Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only] service management is different."

"Regarding Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only], to be honest, we do not like it."
