I rate Liquibase a nine out of ten. We used the Community Edition for Liquibase. We used Liquibase's changelog feature extensively. The changelog contains complete information about all the scripts we executed and presents it as event data. Liquibase's CLI was powerful. We executed scripts through the CLI, and from CI/CD, we called those commands using the CLI. We built a separate tool for monitoring the databases where we logged the query speed in terms of Liquibase's tracing and monitoring capabilities helping with compliance for our enterprise. We were not using any inbuilt tool from Liquibase. In terms of compliance and audit, we had the challenge that the compliance team would spend weeks gathering manual evidence for audits. We maintained change orders where we kept the change queries that we were going to execute on the production database from the DBA so that everything would be compliant because of these change orders. My overall review rating for Liquibase is a nine out of ten.
On a scale of one to ten, I rate Liquibase overall as an eight. I rate it an eight because it fundamentally solved the problem that was genuinely painful and had not been solved well by anything else we evaluated. Regarding Liquibase's AI capabilities, I think its governance and security are solid. Regarding Liquibase's AI capabilities, I believe its accuracy and reliability of output could be improved. We deploy Liquibase using GitHub Actions and Jenkins depending on the client environment. Liquibase itself runs as part of the pipeline job, connects to the target database, applies the pending change sets, and exits. There is no separate server to manage. My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the open-source version is free and genuinely capable for most use cases. We moved to Liquibase Secure for the governance features: audit logs, Drift Detection, policy enforcement, and separation of duties.
In terms of features and improvability, Liquibase is the best option in the market to maintain database version control. Regarding Liquibase's AI capabilities, I think it provides additional solutions for security purposes, but I have not used those features. My use case has focused only on database consistency. For database security and governance, Liquibase keeps production data safe with controlled schema changes and separates duties by designating which changes should occur in development, production, and QA environments. I have not used Liquibase's AI capabilities. I did not purchase Liquibase through the Google Cloud Marketplace because it is free and available at no cost. There is no need to purchase a paid plan. I give this product a rating of nine out of ten.
Liquibase is overall good software, but for first-time users, it could be more intuitive. Everything else works well. I would rate this review as a six.
We were not able to delete some of the tables because of a security issue. We reached out to Liquibase because we thought the issue was from the Liquibase side, but it was from our end. We restarted the security team from our organization, which sorted our issue. My last project was a finance project, and they were relying on Liquibase only for database deployments. I would recommend the solution to other users. Liquibase is very easy to use if you do CI/CD deployment for the database. The solution's commands and documentation are very easy to understand. The solution is very easy to learn, and I was able to learn it in two weeks. Liquibase is a user-friendly open-source tool. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

We're partners with Liquibase. We have a close relationship with them and with IBM. There was a company called Datical that provided a third-party package that integrated with UrbanCode to handle database changes. There's also a Liquibase open source project that provides capabilities like that. Datical just recently changed their company name to Liquibase. We're using one of the most recent versions of the solution. I'd warn other companies that it's a transformation of how you do things. You've got to take into account the people aspect of changing their thinking and their processes. Not every organization is as flexible or adaptable as you might think they would be to a new technology change. It really changes a lot of things such as trusting and allowing the tool to do things that you're doing manually now. I'd advise that new users don't forget about the process transformation that has to occur. It's not just the technical transformation, it's a process transformation. Overall, I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. It's done everything we've needed it to do.
