## Reviews

### "Easy to use and a great value\!" — 5.0/5

> **Jason** | *23 June 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The tools easily integrate with my SQL IDE and management studio. It's has a rich feature set and contains all the functionality that I need to effectively management my SQL environment while keeping it optimized, backed up, and smoothly operating.
> 
> **Cons**: Some of the features are buried in context menus which can make it cumbersome to complete actions or initiate functionality.
> 
> The tools work great, they are easy to use, and they integrate smoothly with my SQL management studio. I used a competing software for many years which has a robust feature set and mature tools. The pricing on this software was just too much. I found dbForge SQL Tools and not only is it comparable, it works incredibly well, and it's a fraction of the cost. I really wish I found this platform first and plan to move our other users to this software\!

### "Very useful suite of tools. Standard issue for all developers at our company." — 5.0/5

> **Jake** | *31 January 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very useful and reliable. SQL Complete gets daily use by everyone on our team. We have also found Schema Compare to be superior to previous utilities we’ve tried.
> 
> **Cons**: The suite has a lots utilities but we only use some regularly. SQL Complete and Schema Compare have been the most useful utilities for us.
> 
> Started off as one off purchase but was so useful its become standard issue for the whole team. Some tools we use constantly (SQL Complete) and others we use a few times per sprint (Schema compare and Data Pump).&#10;&#10;The few times we’ve needed support we’ve good luck with getting responses in a timely manner.

### "A Must-Have Add-On for Any SSMS User" — 5.0/5

> **Gaëtan** | *22 July 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Features like intelligent auto-completion, smart formatting and indentation, customizable snippets, powerful search, and advanced SQL analysis are top-notch and truly enhance my productivity.&#10;&#10;Despite the wide range of functionalities, the configuration is intuitive and easy to grasp. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into the user experience.
> 
> **Cons**: There’s almost nothing I dislike. The only minor inconvenience is that copy shortcuts (Ctrl+C) don’t work in the search window. But aside from that, the tool is remarkably well-designed.
> 
> My overall experience has been excellent. Since I started using dbForge SQL Tools, my productivity in SSMS has noticeably increased. It’s a must-have add-on that brings modern coding features to SQL Server development. I now rely on it daily and couldn’t go back to a plain SSMS environment.

### "An excellent set of tools that help make using SQL easier" — 5.0/5

> **Greg** | *14 March 2024* | Textiles | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The code completion and query building features save me a ton of time by helping to prevent typos and automatically build code with snippets.  The code refactoring is great because I can focus on getting my code out rather than formatting.  Then, with a couple key presses, my code is consistent and reads well.  The summary info at the bottom of returned datasets lets me sum columns or find min/max values without leaving SSMS to copy into Excel.
> 
> **Cons**: Of the pieces I've used, I really haven't found anything that annoys me enough to remember.
> 
> For the price, it is a great set of tools that anyone who works with SSMS can appreciate.  I'm very happy with the product and look forward to playing with all of the different tools in the package.

### "Excellent tool set" — 5.0/5

> **Andrew** | *21 April 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I use the tools constantly - particularly SQL Complete, Schema Compare and Data Compare. I could not do my job without them - it's as simple as that. It makes it so simple to compare different databases - both in on-prem SQL Server and using Azure - for changes to table structure, triggers, keys, data, and anything else.
> 
> **Cons**: It's a shame that Schema Compare and Data Compare don't link together slightly more easily - they are two completely separate tools. If I am comparing the schema of two databases, for example, it would be really useful to have a button to "compare data" which launched data compare with the same servers and databases selected.
> 
> Very happy with the products, and use them all the time.
