While SSMS was broken for several years, improving recently in version 22, dbForge improved all the time, adding good resource control and AI Assistant. > > **Cons**: It was a little slow in introducing the latest authentication methods in the latest versions of SQL Server. > > It has been very good. I still miss a few features, like keeping the database diagrams as part of the project. On the other hand, their resource control now allows them to manage source code and critical data without writing long scripts. ----- ### "After two years of usage" — 4.0/5 > **bruno** | *15 March 2024* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: DBForge SQL Server Studio stands out as a comprehensive and versatile tool tailored for database management, development, and administration, making it a valuable asset for SQL Server professionals. One of the most impressive aspects of DBForge Studio is its wide array of features designed to streamline and enhance the workflow of database developers and administrators. > > **Cons**: Learning curve: dbForge Studio for SQL Server is a powerful and comprehensive tool, offering a wide range of features. However, this richness can also translate into a steeper learning curve for new users or those without prior experience with similar tools. Beginners may find it confusing to navigate through the many features and options available. ----- ### "Great help with SQL server management" — 5.0/5 > **Johan** | *26 July 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Compare and sync tables between databases is a lifesaver to find errors. > > **Cons**: I think it works great for what I have used it for. > > We had a customer with a lot of stores where the items didn't match up. With comparing tables between databases we found the issues and cound correct it fast. ----- ### "Buggy, but with potential" — 3.0/5 > **Ville** | *15 March 2024* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The promise of code completion and formatting with more affordable pricing compared to competition drew me to this software. I also liked the idea of a standalone product instead of using SSMS + plugins. Importing and exporting data has been such an easy task after bare SSMS. > > **Cons**: Even after testing the software for a while, I keep bumping into bugs. In the beginning I was reporting them, but it feels like its not worth it. According to support some issues are because I'm using Azure SQL Database and other issues were just acknowledged as bugs but nothing has been fixed and it's been 4-5 months. > > 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\! ----- ### "Excellent work tool" — 5.0/5 > **DENIS** | *15 March 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use, convenient utility functions, such as data export, import, in many formats > > **Cons**: Before I used SQL Server Management Studio and I can't find things worse > > I increased my productivity with greater development satisfaction ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/1023272/dbforge-studio-for-sql-server?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/1023272/dbforge-studio-for-sql-server) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
