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

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is SQL Search."
"It is easy to track the reports, this is what is most valuable for me."
"After creating a RabbitMQ service, they provide you with a sort of web management dashboard."
"The product's feature of data transaction works fast."
"Simple and straightforward admin portals: Made it easy for users and worked out excellently for our requirements"
"Very sophisticated routing control and priority messaging capabilities"
"The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"It is easy to use. The addition of more queues and more services can be managed very easily."
"The solution has really cool features to use. Its management console is excellent. You can utilize plugins to view the performance of the whole service on one network."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the bandwidth increase allowing me to easily analyze more data."
"The biggest problem with the Redgate SQL Toolbelt is just how heavy it is; it seems to take a lot of resources."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
"If messages pile up until the space of the memory is full, then basically, the cluster goes down, and someone has to log in through the backend and purge all messages."
"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."
"I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc."
"They should add more analytics. Their documentation could also be improved so that I don't have to bother my co-workers and tech support so often."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
"Other tools besides RabbitMQ provide good TPS and HA."
"The solution needs improvement on performance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our fees are paid on an annual basis."
"The cost is about $3,500 USD per individual to buy, and then it's about 20% per year for renewal."
"The price is pretty good."
"We are using the open-source version of this 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."
"are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."
"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
"It’s an open-source solution."
"This is an open source solution."
"It is an open-source platform. Although, we have to pay for additional features."
