I use this tool to compare the production and non-production instances of our enterprise data warehouse on AWS Redshift which has 30+ TBs of data spread throughout 1000+ tables. dbForge can seamlessly connect to both of our Redshift instances and maintain that connection continuously. The way it filters out identical and different tables/views is very helpful and easy to identify. Side by side view of both DDLs is great to capture the differences fast. SQL query editor is awesome that it can give suggestions better than most of the well-known DB Clients out there (It creates the catalog out of 1000+ tables/views in many different schemas pretty fast and intelligent enough to give suggestions across aliases as well). UI is also fairly intuitive and user-friendly. Dark skin is also really good and naming the skins is clever in relation to the mostly used MS Office and Visual Studio (Office Black, Visual Studio Dark, etc) so that the user can expect the same color theme as his/hers mostly used software (This is the first time I'm seeing a naming like this !).

dbForge tool is really good, so I'd probably be nitpicking here. The first time I tried to create a new DB connection, I thought it should be there under "File" -> "New", but it was not since they have a separate menu as "Database". So I still think "New Connection" should go under "File" -> "New" for it to be more intuitive to a first-time user. I use the "Object Filter" side pane menu all the time to filter what I want to see from tables, views, schemas, etc, but it is not resizable so it has a lot of space unused because it only takes a little to show the names "Functions", "Tables", "Views", "Schemas" etc. When viewing the data results of a table with many columns, it's hard to find one column so it will be easier if the tool has a column search.
