Simple, Reliable Database Migrations with Smooth CI/CD Integration
What do you like best about the product?
Redgate Flyway stands out for its simplicity and reliability in managing database migrations. It allows teams to version-control database schema changes alongside application code, making deployments consistent across all environments. Its lightweight setup and SQL-first approach make it easy for developers to adopt without a steep learning curve. Flyway integrates smoothly with CI/CD pipelines, helping automate database changes and reduce manual errors. The clear migration history and validation checks add confidence during releases, especially in production environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Redgate Flyway is reliable, it has some limitations. Handling rollbacks can be challenging, as Flyway encourages forward-only migrations, which may require extra planning. Complex migrations and data fixes often need manual scripting and careful testing. Some advanced features, such as enhanced reporting and enterprise-level controls, are locked behind paid editions. Additionally, managing very large numbers of migration files can become harder over time without strong naming and organization practices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Redgate Flyway solves the problem of managing and tracking database schema changes across multiple environments. It ensures that database migrations are version-controlled, repeatable, and applied in the correct order, eliminating manual database updates and environment drift. This benefits us by making deployments more predictable, reducing errors during releases, and improving collaboration between developers and operations teams. With Flyway integrated into our CI/CD pipeline, database changes are automated alongside application code, which saves time, improves consistency, and increases confidence when deploying to production.
Code-Based Schema Management Makes Evolutions and Deployments Easy
What do you like best about the product?
The code based approach makes it easier for me to maintain schema evolutions and deployments
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the advanced features could be documented better
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently I am not using flyway but I have found it to be good
Version-Controlled Database Migrations with Seamless GitHub/GitLab CI/CD Integration
What do you like best about the product?
Redgate Flyway helps you version-control database schema changes in the same way you version application code, and I find that extremely helpful. It also integrates with GitHub and GitLab for CI/CD, and those integrations are the features I appreciate most about Flyway.
What do you dislike about the product?
Handling rollbacks feels a bit more complicated than it should be, and I’m left thinking there might be a clearer, more straightforward way to do it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Usually, database changes aren’t kept under version control, and Flyway helps solve that by bringing version control to database-related queries and migrations. It makes it easier to track what changed, when it changed, and keep those updates consistent across environments.
Excellent for CI/CD Use Cases and Schema Evolution in Data Pipelines
What do you like best about the product?
CI/CD use cases and schema evolution in data pipelines
What do you dislike about the product?
: In the Community (free) edition, there is no built-in undo command. If a migration fails or you need to roll back, you have to manually script the reversal or "migrate forward" with a fix.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Redgate Flyway acts as a bridge between the fast-moving world of application code (Git, CI/CD) and the traditionally slow, manual world of database management.
By solving the "database bottleneck," it benefits teams by ensuring that a database is never out of sync with the application it supports. Here is a breakdown of the core problems it solves and the tangible benefits of using it

Integrates Smoothly with SQL Management Studio
What do you like best about the product?
It integrates well with SQL Management Studio
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not get integrated with the latest version
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
that can standardize and automatically indent my code
Structured DB Releases with Reliable Shadow DB Migration Checks
What do you like best about the product?
it helps to organize db release in a more structured way and it is quite helpful to always check the migrations on a shadow db
What do you dislike about the product?
Still not sure how exactly the sampling of the data works, and sometimes managing the migration out of sync is bit difficult
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
like I mentioned previously organizing the release in a more structured way is quite helpful
we no go through the same pr process to manage it

Easy-to-Use, Simple UI with Straightforward Integration
What do you like best about the product?
It’s easy to use, with a simple, non-complex UI. Integration is also easy and straightforward.
What do you dislike about the product?
linear versioning can cause major headaches during parallel team development, leading to frequent naming conflicts and merge issues
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
solves the chaos of manual schema updates and environment drift by treating database changes as version-controlled code
Predictable, Automated Database Migrations with Version-Controlled SQL
What do you like best about the product?
Redgate Flyway excels by treating database migrations as version-controlled SQL, ensuring deployments are predictable, automated, and consistent across all environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Flyway is great for simple, linear schema changes, but it becomes restrictive when migrations require complex conditional logic or environment-specific behavior.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Redgate Flyway solves the problem of version-controlled, repeatable database migrations by applying schema changes in a consistent, ordered way across environments. This ensures that all teams and environments stay in sync, reduces deployment errors, and makes rollouts more predictable.
For me, this benefits development and deployment by providing traceable change history, automation-friendly migrations, and a standardized process that aligns with CI/CD pipelines, reducing manual intervention and drift between environments.

Overall Redgate is good, and easy and help to make things automated.
What do you like best about the product?
Redgate integrates easily with a version control system, and it also connects smoothly with CI/CD. This makes it much easier to manage the CI/CD pipeline without having to worry about other things.
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation really needs improvement, and adding screenshots would make the setup much easier to follow. As it stands, it isn’t very helpful, and the setup process ends up feeling unnecessarily complicated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was facing a CI/CD-related problem that made handling SQL queries far too complex. After using Redgate, it became much easier to manage and handle those queries.
Simple, Version-Controlled Migrations That Fit Naturally into CI/CD

What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that complex rollback scenarios can be tricky and often require manual scripting.
Also, advanced features are locked behind paid editions, which can be limiting for smaller teams.
