What do you like best about SQL Toolbelt Essentials?

I've been using Red-Gate Toolbelt for about 15 years. They changed how I develop. Between syncing structures from environment to environment (SQL Compare), to syncing metadata between environments (SQL Data Compare)... to writing good, nicely formatted SQL quickly (SQL Prompt).... I don't do SQL work without out. Working with other relational databases (like PostGres) just isn't as fast without these incredible tools I have in the SQL Server space.

I also like how your license "follows the person," so I can install the tools in all the places I work without licensing noise. Very nice move. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Toolbelt Essentials?

You get what you pay for. Red-Gate isn't cheap, and you end up giving Red-Gate tools to your best and most productive people (because they'll get the most value). Ironically, this only increased the gap between your best and lease productive people and something to be mindful of when buying tools for your staff! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SQL Toolbelt Essentials solving and how is that benefiting you?

I regularly find myself diagnosing issues between environments, or trying to replicate data issues in a test environment. The Red-Gate compare tools have proven themselves table stakes for getting that job done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
