dbForge Studio for SQL Server Pricing

AS a developer dbForge studio is really helpful for quickly check date in our SQL databases. My favorite feature is code completion that works much better than in ssms. really helpful are ability to sort and filter results. In edit mode for columns containing foreign key you can select value from referenced table that is shown as popup in query result. Many data formats are also supported, you can format cell content as json, xml, html if it contains image you can watch this image in data viewer window.

In professional and enterprise versions is included really helpful schema compare tool that can compare not only two database but also backups and snapshots created by dbforge studio.

Table editor is also very good, it's much easier to modify table than in ssms. In editor you can find such feature as sql script that generate table and all related objects and tab with data that contains table.

Connections can be categorized by by color and shape of mark.

One of my favorite feature is also schema diagram witch is much more readable than that builtin to ssms.

For developers nice feature is also data generator that can generate good data for test environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DbForge studio is not so good for most of administration tasks, it contains only basic administration tools. One of biggest issue for me is lack support for AD groups in security manager.

Graph database is also not supported for now, and it will be really helpful to see this feature.

When you have many connections it will be easier to find something if it will be ability to organize everything in tree view instead of flat view with categories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to perform DIFFS/compare scripts, databases, or individual database objects (views, tables, stored procs, functions) against different versions. Easy to use and exceptionally valuable if you frequently manage multiple versions of databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some features that would work fine in SQL Svr Mgt Studio may have bugs in dbForge after updates. Although infrequent, it can be quite vexing to encounter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
