Simple, Transparent SQL-Based Migrations with Easy Version Tracking
What do you like best about the product?
The absolute best part is the simplicity of the plain SQL-based migrations. I don’t have to learn a proprietary XML or YAML DSL to manage my schema changes. It treats my SQL as a first-class citizen, and the linear, version-based execution makes it incredibly easy to reason about the state of our database across different environments. It’s transparent, and there’s no 'magic' happening behind the scenes that I can't debug.
What do you dislike about the product?
The gap between the Community and Teams/Enterprise editions can be frustrating. Basic necessities for a production environment like Undo migrations or Dry Runs are locked behind a pretty steep paywall. It’s tough to sell the 'fail-safe' aspect of the tool to management when the safety net (Undo) isn't in the free version we used for the POC.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It basically stops the 'it worked on my machine' syndrome for databases. By automating our migrations, we’ve moved away from the nightmare of tracking which SQL scripts have run where.
It benefits me by saving a ton of time, I'm not babysitting deployments or manually diffing tables anymore. I can just write my SQL, check it into Git, and let the automation handle the heavy lifting. It’s made our release cycle way less stressful.

Flyway Makes Database Migrations Simple, Structured, and Reliable
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Flyway is how simple it is and how it encourages a structured workflow. Compared with similar tools, it feels easier to use, and with just a few commands I can take care of everything I need. At the same time, it pushes me to follow proper migration practices that I might otherwise overlook, which makes the overall process more reliable and consistent.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that it’s hard to find a proper way to use it with a database that’s already in production and wasn’t using Flyway from the start.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the problem of keeping database scripts in sync across multiple environments by integrating seamlessly with Git. I don’t have to waste time manually coordinating changes, and I don’t worry about forgetting to apply a script somewhere.
Beginner-Friendly Deployments with Powerful Code Versioning & CI/CD Commands
What do you like best about the product?
Code versioning and deployment via desktop are beginner-friendly, and CI/CD can be handled using commands and implement easily using GitHub Actions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Frequent UI changes each time we upgrade to new version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Initially, as a team, we were deploying our DB scripts manually to each server. First, I helped my team analyze the Flyway desktop. We have minimized Deployment errors by using Flyway deployment using Desktop. As we learn and move to CICD using GitHub Actions, we are even faster with our deployments using Flyway Commands for DB deployment. Overall, we have moved from Manual deployment to CICD using Flyway and it's been a very good experience.
Standard across technology with one time pain in setup
What do you like best about the product?
Redgate Flyway is cross-platform and supports multiple technologies, and its DB source control support is a real plus. The way it detects changes and manages migrations with granular control is impressive. However, the initial setup can be difficult, especially for people coming from a .NET or Microsoft stack.
What do you dislike about the product?
A big part of the challenge is that it mainly depends on the Java runtime and supporting jars, and the documentation around this isn’t very user-friendly. At least in my experience, I often end up relying on Stack Overflow discussion threads to figure out what’s going wrong.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This has become our de facto standard for database source control, whether it’s MS-SQL or Oracle. The way it handles source control across two different database solutions is genuinely impressive. Adopting it as a standard practice has made our work much simpler and has also helped us streamline our CI/CD pipeline.
Simple and Manageable
What do you like best about the product?
Post Migration Scripts, Migration Version Control
What do you dislike about the product?
Longer load time when initially opening a project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I contribute to non profit org's, managing multiple projects. Redgate Flyway helps me with keeping track of schema changes with all my projects.
Simple Flyway Adoption with Smooth CI and Release Pipeline Integration
What do you like best about the product?
If you are already managing schema and data updates via .sql files, Flyway is simple to adapt and you get the benefits without much of a change to processes. The flyway command-line utility was simple to integrate with our CI and release pipelines. Our team use flyway to ensure they have their database up to date when pulling changes to the codebase.
What do you dislike about the product?
The utility can be slow to run, with an overhead of a couple of seconds per database being migrated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Schema migration management, along with continuous integration and release automation.
Better Control and Easier SQL Database Deployments
What do you like best about the product?
Better control and an easier way to deploy new changes to our SQL databases.
What do you dislike about the product?
There’s a lack of visibility into who is using the licenses. With a limited number available, it would be helpful to be able to identify unused licenses and recycle them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With the newest release, I can open multiple projects at the same time, which makes navigation and deployments much easier.
Easy Setup, GitHub Integration, and Big Productivity Gains for Database Change Workflows
What do you like best about the product?
It’s easy to set up and configure. The automated processes are straightforward to use, and it integrates closely with GitHub. Overall, it brings huge productivity benefits and greatly simplifies our workflows by giving developers a more structured approach to database changes and source control.
What do you dislike about the product?
The developers’ initial reluctance was quickly overcome through training and clear documentation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Redgate is constantly improving the product and we can vote on suggested improvements and enhancements such as better visibility into licence usage.
Flyway Makes Keeping Customer Databases Up to Date Simple
What do you like best about the product?
Flyway helps the DBA team to easily keep all databases up to date by using the Deply functionality. Its really simple to make a change against the development database and apply the change to customer databases.
What do you dislike about the product?
The GUI can sometimes feel a little clunky, however it's quite east to use once you get used to it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before using Flyway, keeping databases updated was quite a manual and time consuming job. Since using flyway, there is a single point of change which is then easy to replicate down to other existing databases. This has saved the DBA team so much time, allowing us to focus on additional tasks.
