Easy Setup and Simple Database Management
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to set up and use. I also like that I can use it to manage my database, which makes things simpler for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven’t really had any issues, aside from not receiving an email to reset my password at first. It turned out it was in my junk mail.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It just makes life easier, so I don’t have to manually do a lot more than I need to.
Regate: Great Experience Overall
What do you like best about the product?
As a DevOps engineer, I like Redgate Flyway because it makes database changes easy to track, manage, and deploy through our CI/CD pipelines. It’s straightforward to use, and it helps us avoid mistakes during releases by keeping changes consistent and easier to review.
What do you dislike about the product?
Redgate doesn’t support Databricks. We have a task to track SQL using Redgate, but it doesn’t support Databricks, so we can’t use it for this requirement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously, before Redgate, we had built our own custom CI/CD pipeline to run SQL queries on databases using a version control system. However, the CI/CD setup was very complex, and maintaining it became a headache. At times, we faced issues such as queries running multiple times, failed queries not being executed again, and many other bugs in that CI/CD process. We introduced Redgate with our customer, the customer agreed to the changes, and now everything is back on track and running smoothly.
Flyway Delivers Precise, Flexible Migrations and Streamlined Deployments
What do you like best about the product?
Flyway runs database migration scripts written in the database's language. As an expert in database design and optimization, I want the tools that perform migrations to create the exact database I designed. I turned to Flyway after years of frustration with framework migration tools, where I would spend hours figuring out how to "trick" the tool into provisioning the database I designed. Additionally, Flyway makes production deployments simple and straightforward for my DevOps team. My QA and developers can blow away a database and recreate it in seconds. Flyway is a solid execution of a simple concept that delivers productivity and flexibility to my development pipeline.
What do you dislike about the product?
The enterprise version of this software is quite expensive, which prohibits its use at many clients.
