I like the simplicity of this tool. It uses plain SQL, which makes it very easy to work with and understand. At the same time, it also includes advanced features, such as drift detection, and it supports various database types. it supports integration of various databases. the performance is very good compared to some other tools i have used Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

there are some features blocked by paywall and no built in undo functionality. hence need to manually rollback Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most is that migrations are just plain, version-controlled SQL files. The V1__, V2__ naming makes the order of schema changes obvious, and running flyway migrate applies exactly what's pending, so every environment lands in the same state. It fits into a CI/CD pipeline with little effort, the schema history table gives a clear audit trail of what ran and when, and since it supports so many databases we didn't need a different tool per project. Being SQL-first keeps the learning curve low. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most useful features (undo/rollback, dry runs, drift detection) sit behind the paid Teams and Enterprise tiers, so the Community edition can feel bare-bones for a growing team. Initial configuration (flyway.conf, placeholders, per-environment settings) takes some trial and error, and the error output on a failed migration could be clearer about what went wrong. The desktop/UX side is also less polished than the command-line experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how simple it is to use. This past year was the first time using Flyway Desktop and that helped me with making sure that the same schema changes are implemented across all envs in a much more intuitive way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that it can be integrated with Github directly so that when a certain migration files are merged into specific branch (e.g. stg or main), it will apply to that environment. Maybe there's already something like that but I've been having to apply the migration changes manually.

I also wish there was a way to see all the changes per table or see the final schema definition via AI or something. When there are a ton of migration scripts and many small changes here and there for a specific table, it's hard to see the full picture directly from Flyway.

Flyway runs database migration scripts written in the database's language. As an expert in database design and optimization, I want the tools that perform migrations to create the exact database I designed. I turned to Flyway after years of frustration with framework migration tools, where I would spend hours figuring out how to "trick" the tool into provisioning the database I designed. Additionally, Flyway makes production deployments simple and straightforward for my DevOps team. My QA and developers can blow away a database and recreate it in seconds. Flyway is a solid execution of a simple concept that delivers productivity and flexibility to my development pipeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The enterprise version of this software is quite expensive, which prohibits its use at many clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redgate Flyway is cross-platform and supports multiple technologies, and its DB source control support is a real plus. The way it detects changes and manages migrations with granular control is impressive. However, the initial setup can be difficult, especially for people coming from a .NET or Microsoft stack.

A big part of the challenge is that it mainly depends on the Java runtime and supporting jars, and the documentation around this isn’t very user-friendly. At least in my experience, I often end up relying on Stack Overflow discussion threads to figure out what’s going wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Flyway removes the complexity of generating database migration scripts and has removed 99% of migration script mistakes while also accelerating development time by allowing developers to sync their local DB to the latest structure within minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No way for the CLI to be updated automatically on the deployment servers. This means that every upgrade needs to be allied manually to each deployment server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It turns database migrations into plain SQL scripts that follow a simple versioning order, making deployments predictable and transparent. Its best feature is the "migrate once, run anywhere" reliability that bridges the gap between code and your database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Flyway's limited rollback support in the free version makes recovering from failed migrations a manual, often painful headache. It also lacks "state-aware" comparison tools, meaning it can't tell you how your schema drifted unless you’ve strictly tracked every change via a script. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s easy to access the tools needed to generate and migrate scripts. When errors come up, they’re straightforward to navigate, understand, and fix. Performance wise it is top notch and provides seamless integration to vast Databases. The onboarding was helpful to navigate the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As of now I can't think of any dislikes, the software is friendly and very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple and straightforward to use. All of our CI/CD pipelines are using Redgate Flyway, and the teams are very happy deploying their changes through the CI/CD pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No issues, we are happy about our CICD piles lines and the simplicity of flyway tool. However pricing is a bit high to utilize it for across the organisation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Seamless integration with CI/CD for database script deployments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes when there are cert level / infra level issues. Our team will go thru a lot of troubleshooting with our internal global teams and microsoft. Many times Redgate support was not able to provide any resolution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
