dbForge Studio (Edge) vs. ApexSQL by Quest

Whenever a user or DBA wants to compare schematics between two environments, dbForge is extremely helpful. This is useful during version or framework upgrades, a database upgrade, patch implementations, service package implementations, or any time to environments would be different. The time it would take to write and execute queries, and then compare is exponentially longer than it takes with dbForge, where this is done and you have an application that allows you to quickly identify incongruities.

As soon as I start developing a new query or script, I just need to type my keywords and then all the basic for my work is already there. Just need to worry for the pesonalization. Also, I can have a template for very different scenarios, also the code suggestions, makes my code review and any error debug easier

• Compare entire or subset of MySQL tables between databases
• Configure comparison rules
• Sync data between compared databases depending on differences
• Save comparison rules for reuse and sharing
• Break down differences between missing/new records, or different records
• See differences highlighted per field
• Execute sync immediately, or save as an SQL script file
• Command-line tool that can be used to add comparisons to deploy scripts

• [The] installation error I've already reported (ABARTN).xml [could use some improvement]. This has to do with Windows Defender (the default Windows anti-virus) not allowing the installation on the default installation directory of dbForge Studio [for SQL Server], thus the error. [With] the workaround, [I] was to disable the anti-virus for the duration of the installation, then turn it back on when the installation [was] been completed.
• [I would like to see] better defined licensing models for larger teams (seated vs. name licenses).

• Need to improve on optimization sometimes it take too much time during data loading and unloading
• The IDE comes in web browser.It should develop its own IDE to write code
• I don't particularly appreciate that there is no way to get all data for any records

Although experience here is limited, as only one question has been asked and answered promptly, the registration and licensing process was very smooth and professional. There are forums online that discuss dbForge issues, as well as a Facts and Questions section on dbForge's website, so product support does seem to exist if needed.

I would say that dbForge equals or beats most of the abilities of the other tools I evaluated at the time. dbForge had better support (Devart), and regular feature updates. dbForge has better tools for data comparison and import/export. The price tag is slightly higher, but renewals rates are pretty good. It's a quality tool that still is well worth the cost.

It's free to use and it has a lot of unique features like tab navigation, Coloring of tabs, Execution alerts, helps in automatically writing query and the best what I liked in ApexSQL is fast database creating,tables auto fill.i recommend giving the tools a try as i think you will find them very useful

• We perform better and faster syncing analysis between databases.
• We update running mysql databases faster and more efficiently.
• Especially with MySQL Workbench we had immense irritations due to all the crashes during the day. With dbForge Studio we finally had a power tool which is stable and does not crash constantly.

Incentivized

• Reduced the time needed to maintain and audit our MS SQL databases
• Automation reduced the time and effort needed to execute on daily tasks
• Increased efficiency overall by making data comparisons and other day to day tasks more efficient
