All in one tool for MS SQL. Use it every day. Schema compare works very well, data generator another great feature, diagrams are a very useful thing (much better than in a standard MS Studio tool). Last updates this year have many nice small improvements. Work with Azure improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very sad that it is limited to Windows OS only. Would be great to have something similar for Mac or Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Full-featured IDE for SQL Server development Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

T-SQL formatting compacts the code, but I prefer readability over size. I couldn't find how to modify that behavior.

It is not possible to design diagrams using tables from several databases.

When committing changes it is not possible to attach a description. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First of all, dbForge ships with a dark theme. That's huge already, but the features I absolutely love are:

Powerful and intuitive SQL formatting and code completion - I don't need to go searching for column names as dbForge suggests and can even insert them automatically.

The table designer and database diagrams are nice, though not necessarily unique among products. They still help me visualize and understand the database.

The killer feature for me is the ability to compare my database with another database and generate a highly customizable change script to get the other database's schema to match my own. This lets me just make changes to one database, then script them out and have the tool worry about the differences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, the main thing I dislike right now is my own lack of knowledge of all of dbForge's features. I don't have time to go through all the tutorials and documentation devart offers, so it's just a time limitation on my part in exploring all the ways that dbForge can help me.

Code completion and code formating upon paste Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limit result size to 1000 by default, if I want more results, have to do a bit more work 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.

Built in Intellisense and reimagined/improved screens Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some bugs and slowness (blame azure?) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quality of the included toolset to manage SQL databases and the development environment is top notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside is that it is for Windows only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

well organized interface, great tools intelligently grouped Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing to complain about the application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Good IDE. Good formattingoptions. Explain Plan is much more cleaner than SSMS and very user friendly. Table And View definition viewer is ver y user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am surprised that I cannot see SQL agent (SQL Jobs/ Job monitor) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using the tool for about a year and, in general, am very pleased with how it works. Firstly, I like its code completion and navigation features. Very handy. Initially, you took them for granted, but all the difference is felt only when you return to SSMS. Secondly, the solution has almost everything I need, like a Swiss knife - schema and data synchronization, database comparison, backup and restoration. And thirdly, the tool supports many data formats, for example, you can format cell content as JSON, XML, HTML, and if it contains an image, you can see the image in the data viewer window. Again, very handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it’s a bit overpriced for a small team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
