Simple to Use and Keeps Schema Changes Consistent Across Environments
What do you like best about the product?
I like how simple it is to use. This past year was the first time using Flyway Desktop and that helped me with making sure that the same schema changes are implemented across all envs in a much more intuitive way.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that it can be integrated with Github directly so that when a certain migration files are merged into specific branch (e.g. stg or main), it will apply to that environment. Maybe there's already something like that but I've been having to apply the migration changes manually.
I also wish there was a way to see all the changes per table or see the final schema definition via AI or something. When there are a ton of migration scripts and many small changes here and there for a specific table, it's hard to see the full picture directly from Flyway.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I work with multiple environments, it gives me assurance that whatever I've applied to my lower level envs to get it working, the same schema changes will eventually get applied to prod. Rather than keeping track of that myself and figuring out how to version them, it makes it simple and clear.
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.
Robust CI/CD and Script Validation with Flyway
What do you like best about the product?
I wanted to setup a robust CI CD setup using Flyway with the client data warehouse being i Databrics and primary version control being Github.
The documentation has been super helpful and it has help me achieve the kind of script validations that I wanted to run using flyway before merging code.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wouldn’t define this as a downside of Flyway itself, but the limitations around applying it to Databricks Unity Catalog have caused some restrictions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been using it for controlled versioned management of scripts and notebooks in Databricks, integrated by Git. It's been really helpful for ensuring that scripts get applied in cloned env before the code is merged to prod and hence we can ensure code quality as well as defined standards of uniformity.
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.

Seamless Flyway Migrations and an Easy Switch from DACPAC
What do you like best about the product?
Flyway migrations work seamlessly, and it was easy to migrate from our existing DACPAC setup to Flyway as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Environment-specific migrations are a bit tricky to figure out. We ended up having to custom-wire something in the pipeline to make it work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Flyway to maintain database versioning.
Consistent, Traceable Database Migrations That Make CI/CD Predictable
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Redgate Flyway is how it brings consistency and traceability to database changes. Versioned migrations make it clear what was deployed and when, and once it’s integrated into CI/CD, database updates become predictable and low-risk. It removes a lot of manual coordination between teams. set up.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main downside is that troubleshooting failed migrations can take time, since the error messages aren’t always very clear. Managing out-of-order changes or quick hotfixes also needs careful handling, and new users usually need some time to fully understand concepts like repair and baselining.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Flyway helps keep database changes consistent across environments by version-controlling migrations. This reduces deployment issues, avoids manual DB updates, and makes releases more reliable.
Best-in-Class Customer Service from Redgate
What do you like best about the product?
The customer service so far has been the best thing about redgate.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much about the product that I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're having several issues with the schema being different in our client databases.
Complete free version and community support that makes a difference
What do you like best about the product?
I like the possibility of testing the main functions of the tool in the free version, in addition to the support offered by the community.
What do you dislike about the product?
Throughout the time I used Flyway, I did not find any negative points worth mentioning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Flyway to execute SQL scripts on databases, thereby maintaining version control in an organized and consistent manner.
Redgate Database Migrations Makes Local Database Collaboration Easy
What do you like best about the product?
The Redgate Database migrations make it easy to work with multiple people on the same locally hosted database
What do you dislike about the product?
The least helpful feature tends to be Flyway’s rollback/undo support
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Redgate Flyway is solving the problem of keeping database schemas consistent across multiple developers’ local environments. In a group project where everyone runs their own local database, it prevents differences in table structures, columns, and constraints from creeping in.
This benefits me by:
Ensuring everyone’s database is at the same version
Automatically applying schema changes in the correct order
Eliminating manual setup and “works on my machine” database issues
Making database changes reproducible and predictable across the team
