   Database comparison software enables database users, administrators, and support teams to compare schemata, data entries, and more between databases. Database comparison tools are often valuable resources for reducing time spent checking schema and database content between physical locations or sites; production and non-production environments; databases hosted in different management systems; and other multi-database management activities. If two databases are found to not match, database comparison software can synchronize those databases back into parity.

Database comparison tools are often used in conjunction with [non-native database management systems](https://www.g2.com/categories/non-native-database-management-systems), and especially with [relational databases](https://www.g2.com/categories/relational-databases) since many database comparison tools target SQL databases.

To qualify for inclusion in the Database Comparison category, a product must:

- Compare schema between two or more databases
- Identify database similarities and differences
- Synchronize data between two or more databases
