Digging through the Database DevOps Software category on G2, the rollback-on-complex-schemas question the post raises is exactly where these tools tend to diverge, since a straightforward additive change rolls back cleanly almost anywhere, but a schema change involving data migration or a dropped column is a much harder reverse to automate safely, regardless of what the tool promises. Reviewers describing automated rollback catching a bad release are usually describing simpler failure scenarios, a failed health check,k, or an obvious error, rather than the subtler case of a deploy that succeeds technically but corrupts data in a way rollback can&#39;t simply undo. Schema-compare tooling is a genuinely different kind of safety net from changeset-based rollback, since it verifies state after the fact rather than reversing a bad change, making it a useful complement rather than a substitute. 

The honest expectation for any of these in production is that version control prevents a lot of the mess, but a manual backout plan for the genuinely destructive schema changes is still worth having,g regardless of which tool sits underneath.
