dbForge Studio for SQL Server

Linux

Windows

Senior Software Engineer

The software is rock solid, and the ability for the software to keep un-saved documents in case of a reboot or scratch pad situation is fantastic.

Several features are missing: data classification in both discovery and management. Also missing from column editor.

Wealth of functionalities. Good "intellisense-like" auto-complete.

Great help with SQL server management

Good choice for you to manage your SQL Server

I increased my productivity with greater development satisfaction

Excellent work tool

I still kinda like it, but I'm having so much issues that I'm probably going back to SSMS in the near future. Unfortunately I got the 3 year subscription, so that's making me still use it. You know - you bought it, so use it!

Buggy, but with potential

After two years of usage

it met our expectations, we are satisfied with the program

great alternative to SSMS

I've relied on DBForge Studio to do my job. 

Excellent MSSql IDE

I am not critical of SSMS because it's a great free tool but dbForge Studio for SQL Server is so much more convenient and efficient. It is a paid tool that is worth the money because it has saved me so much time and stress. The customer support is great, also.

More intuitive than SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)

It's a great tool for maintaining multiple connections, and many multiple queries / files open at once. I use this tool daily for everyday queries, and I use it's schema and data compare functionality to mirror and sync changes between different databases. These tools have a lot of customisability which is fantastic. The software is rock solid, and the ability for the software to keep un-saved documents in case of a reboot or scratch pad situation is fantastic. No more getting spammed to name or save files when closing SQL Management Studio 

Great tool for managing, analysing, and querying SQL database

Excellent  Database Tool

A great replacement for SSMS

Productivity increases - for example in the past we needed to use a combination of SSMS, Excel and some query tuning utility programs - now dbForge Studio for SQL Server can replace and do them much better without needing to shift around dataTesting and debugging - ability to simply create tSQL scripts from output window or copy data from one server to another is fantastic for testing and debugging and saves a ton of time

Great productivity tool

A nice smooth tool, a smart one, my go to tool when targeting SQL Server.

The "tool" for SQL Server

Excelent software database administrator excelent

Excelent

I'm extremely happy with it, it is my goto SQL IDE now and a full replacement (its now gone) for the  way too expensive SQL belt from Redgate.  

Good bye RedGate!

great, but still doesn't eliminate the use ssms

This has made coding and creating large projects for data conversion from one billing system to another so much easier as well as moving massive amounts of meter data from system to another, and i am so glad i bought it.

dbForge Studio for SQl just makes my life easier!

Literally Good

I first purchased dbForge Studio for SQL Server for its database schema compare and synchronization features, and it does a wonderful job. I really like the SQL completion (e.g. predicting the JOINs that I'd want to do), so going back to SSMS to do something really sucks now.

The swiss-army chainsaw of SQL Server development tools

I had been using a competing product for some time and when ran into issues, I did a search for another solution and found dbForge and haven't regetted the decision.

dbForge the number 1 product to turn to for DB management

For specific situations, I particularly like the interface linked to queries which allows me to easily consult or modify the data by facilitating the mapping between the different relationships of the tables.

dbForge Studio for SQL Server allows me perform many cyclical and daily tasks very quickly
