"Great set of SQL Server and DBA tools"
4.5/5
What do you like best about ApexSQL?

Fairly easy and intuitive to setup, modify and use. These tools, especially the data diff tool has allowed us to more easily analyze our data across instances and environments. I recommend giving the tools a try as I think you will find them very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some free tools but it seems the most useful require a subscription/paying for them. Hopefully in time more features will be on the lower cost/free site. That said, you should try out the tools as we have found that despite the price, there is value in these products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great SQL toolset, both paid and free"
4.5/5
What do you like best about ApexSQL?

Complete is a great form of intellisense that I've used for many years now. Search has saved me many hours going through thousands of tables to try and find every reference or linkage when there are no foreign key & primary key relationships in an inherited database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ApexSQL?

Their source control tool is also easy to use, but fickle with databases with thousands of tables. I ended up using Visual Studio Team Services to do my source control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
