The compatibility with databases from H2, MySQL to Oracle is a plus. Also, top notch documentation! The Liquibase University sets it apart from the rest. **What do you dislike about Liquibase?** A learning curve is experienced to grasp the concepts and apply them in real-world scenario. However, this is circumvented by the self-paced learning and well-detailed docs. **What problems is Liquibase solving and how is that benefiting you?** Liquibase comes in handy in database migration for Oracle Enterprise .

Powerful and Flexible **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2022 **What do you like best about Liquibase?** Liquibase provides Seamless integration into CI/CD pipelines, ensuring code and database remain in lockstep. Modeling database structure in DBMS agnostic XML instead of SQL helps ease the transition from one DBMS to another. A friendly web console provides a view into which environments have received a specific changeset, enabling a complete view of the database landscape. Finally, their support is on-point! Very friendly support from knowledgable people who are obviously passionate about this product. **What do you dislike about Liquibase?** There's no easy way to see the current state of the database schema with Liquibase. This limitation makes it difficult to compare the differences between two different database schemas. This is not a significant problem, but just one small thing we lost in the transition. **Recommendations to others considering Liquibase:** I highly recommend having a conversation with Liquibase Personnel about best practices, etc. They are very knowledgable and can help ensure you get off on the right foot. **What problems is Liquibase solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have moved our database deployments to our CI/CD Pipeline and away from a more manual approach. This update provides better security and ensures consistency between code and schema. **Official Response from Matthew Geise:** > Thank you for sharing your experience. We always love hearing how Liquibase is being used and where our customers and community members are finding the most value or have needs that could be met in a better way. Our product team would love to get more info on the use case you have around comparing database schemas and how we could better support it. We do have a few ways to help detect database drift through the comparison of schemas. With our diff command, you can capture the differences between two schemas. In addition, you could look at the diffchangelog command should you want a changelog to help reconcile the differences. I've added a blog here as a reference...hopefully this helps. Thanks! ### 10.
