I often do data comparisons and having several tabs each with a different view of the data makes my job much easier. Autocomplete and autojoin when creating queries also saves keystrokes. About the only thing I use SSMS for now is tracing, but you can also do that in some of the more expensive versions of dbForge Studio (I'm running the Standard edition). > > **Cons**: I can't really find anything not to like. I've not used all the features, but the ones I've used have all done exactly what I expect them to do. ----- ### "dbForge Studio for SQl just makes my life easier\!" — 5.0/5 > **Craig** | *20 April 2022* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: One phrase: One Stop Shopping\! it is easy to find what i need in the feature rich studio, from searching for fields across giant database, to looking at formatted code, to creating data dictionaries and reports. > > **Cons**: I wish it had more integrations into SQL > > This has made coding and creating large projects for data conversion from one billing system to another so much easier as well as moving massive amounts of meter data from system to another, and i am so glad i bought it. ----- ### "Literally Good" — 4.0/5 > **Yuhan** | *20 April 2022* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: clean user interface and (NEW SQL \& NEW QUERY) feature > > **Cons**: window function and common table expression (CTE) are not available ----- ### "dbForge Studio for SQL Server allows me perform many cyclical and daily tasks very quickly" — 5.0/5 > **Steeve** | *13 April 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been using dbForge Studio Entreprise since 2013 to manage, develop, administer and maintain my MS SQL databases linked to my .net business applications. Given my workflow, I often have updates of my products, tests and other tasks on my development and production databases. dbForge allows me by simple script to perform these cyclical and daily tasks very quickly in addition to providing me with several tools to achieve this that can be found in the particularities of the product. > > **Cons**: I have nothing special about it because this product fully meets my needs. > > For specific situations, I particularly like the interface linked to queries which allows me to easily consult or modify the data by facilitating the mapping between the different relationships of the tables. ----- ### "Good choice for you to manage your SQL Server" — 5.0/5 > **Isaac** | *15 March 2024* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and UI interface is clear. The function provided to manipulate SQL Server are fully provided in the Studio. You can select an edition to fit your need with difference price. > > **Cons**: It's kind of not so cheap software tool for an employee. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/338155/dbforge-studio-for-sql-server?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/338155/dbforge-studio-for-sql-server) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
