SQL Data Compare

My business problem is to have developer and user db's with development, testing, stagging and production databases to keep them in-sync with user case and possible error at a given stage.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

I am keeping track of local and Azure db's; for me this tool is a must. Trying to deal with data syncs is technically possible with Select and Inserts but that is alot of hassle and then when your table changes, the tool adjusts to the newly added fields and does the transformations easily.This products fits my knowledge base, no to technical but can then get very detailed.

Cons:

Better price is seriously the only downside; its a good price when compared to Red-gate, but I am a startup company.

Reasons for choosing dbForge Data Compare for SQL Server

price, functionality, a good fit of my knowledge and technical experience to go forward with our 16 databases.
