SQL Search and change automation functionality help us manage our code repository and databases
The biggest problem with the Redgate SQL Toolbelt is just how heavy it is; it seems to take a lot of resources. It takes a lot of memory and a lot of processing power to run, and that tends to slow things down a bit. Making it a little more lightweight while still doing the same thing, as much as possible, is what we would like to see in the future. I've noticed that Microsoft SSMS runs much quicker without RedGate installed than it does with it installed. From bootup of the app to opening query windows and connections, SSMS is quicker without Redgate than with, by a significant margin. The other area for improvement is regarding licensing. Every month or two my SSMS loses it's redgate license key and I need to re-enter the key to continue using Red Gate, even though the license is annual.

The product improves site reliability, but it is not stable, and the initial deployment was a little difficult
When we had outages, we had timeouts. Sometimes, the nodes would drop out of a cluster. Therefore, the applications would get timeouts. There is a newer version out that we're planning to upgrade to for some stability. It could also be caused by our design. The product must improve its reliability. It'd be nice if nodes could drop out and notify each other in a timely manner so that the applications wouldn't know if there was a problem.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is easy to track the reports, this is what is most valuable for me."
"The most valuable feature is SQL Search."
"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."
"After creating a RabbitMQ service, they provide you with a sort of web management dashboard."
"Some of the most valuable features are publish and subscribe, fanout, and queues."
"Scalability is simple because it's an MPP database. If you need more processing power or you need more storage, you just add a few more nodes in the cluster. It works on common commodity hardware. You can use any type of server. You don't need to have proprietary hardware. It's fairly flexible."
"The most valuable feature is that it's really customizable."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."
"RabbitMQ will help to remove a lot of the complexities and create a loosely coupled codebase."
 

Cons

"The biggest problem with the Redgate SQL Toolbelt is just how heavy it is; it seems to take a lot of resources."
"I would like to see the bandwidth increase allowing me to easily analyze more data."
"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."
"Their implementation is quite tricky. It's not that easy to implement RabbitMQ as a cluster."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
"The solution needs improvement on performance."
"Implementation takes a long time."
"I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases."
"VMware Tanzu Greenplum needs improvement in the memory area and improved methods for quick access to the disc. So, one of the quick goals of Greenplum must work on enhancing access to the disc by adding hints in the database."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is about $3,500 USD per individual to buy, and then it's about 20% per year for renewal."
"Our fees are paid on an annual basis."
"are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."
"The price is pretty good."
"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
"The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
"It is an open-source platform. Although, we have to pay for additional features."
"The pricing is okay."
"It’s an open-source solution."
"The solution's pricing is cost-effective as it does not involve significant expenses. Licensing is required only for the server, while clients do not need any licensing. Therefore, it proves to be a cost-efficient option."
