"Simple, Versioned Schema Migrations with Great CI/CD Support"
4/5
What do you like best about Redgate Flyway?

I like the way it is helping the users to migrate the schema.

Before it is very hard to keep track of schema changes but now the developer do not need to worry about it. Repetable and Versioned is the best think i liked it and it is very simple to implement using the SQL. It is having CI/CD support also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redgate Flyway?

I have faced the problem while creating environment in the flyway the errors shown is not still clear. when i try to setup everything was right but instead of using the cmd i have used the power shell but i am not able to resolve it and i have checked out the support online but still i didn't get correct support. The Support can be improved. The product is having some potential to grow well by giving the error message correctly and correctly refined documentation.

In stack overflow it is outdated the way we have install flyway-cli and flyway it is confusing me more finally with the help of my collegue i have resolved all the problem Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, Reliable Database Migrations with Smooth CI/CD Integration"
4/5
What do you like best about Redgate Flyway?

Redgate Flyway stands out for its simplicity and reliability in managing database migrations. It allows teams to version-control database schema changes alongside application code, making deployments consistent across all environments. Its lightweight setup and SQL-first approach make it easy for developers to adopt without a steep learning curve. Flyway integrates smoothly with CI/CD pipelines, helping automate database changes and reduce manual errors. The clear migration history and validation checks add confidence during releases, especially in production environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redgate Flyway?

While Redgate Flyway is reliable, it has some limitations. Handling rollbacks can be challenging, as Flyway encourages forward-only migrations, which may require extra planning. Complex migrations and data fixes often need manual scripting and careful testing. Some advanced features, such as enhanced reporting and enterprise-level controls, are locked behind paid editions. Additionally, managing very large numbers of migration files can become harder over time without strong naming and organization practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What stands out to me about Redgate Flyway is how straightforward it makes database change management. The migration-based approach is easy to understand, and it fits smoothly into our CI/CD workflow. I appreciate that it keeps our development, staging, and production environments aligned without introducing unnecessary overhead.

What do you dislike about Redgate Flyway?

At times, more complex schema updates require additional manual effort, especially when dealing with edge cases or legacy database structures. Error messages during failed migrations could also be clearer, particularly when diagnosing issues in production. Some additional guidance or improved logging would make troubleshooting easier.
