Success stories from our customers

Coyote Software Corporation
"We use SQL Complete every day, probably, every hour. From formatting to snippets that help build INSERT scripts for our complex reference table additions, to the simplest of snippets that speed up query writing."
Greg Rhind
Development Lead at Coyote Software Corporation
Hexagon
"dbForge Studio for Oracle is the easiest tool to work with, it provides everything we require with efficiency and high performance. It saves us lots of time and makes the work with our Oracle databases very easy. The first month of use was enough to prove that it was a cost-effective choice."
Vladimir Gorscov
Information Technology Manager at Hexagon
Empower Associates
"dbForge Studio for MySQL has been the most effective database tool supporting the design, architecture, development, administration and debugging of our next-generation CRM system. There is nothing else like it on the market. I do think dbForge is hands down the best IDE for MySQL. It's a fantastic tool."
David Allen
Director of Development at Empower, LL
I Computer Solutions
"It is a replacement on steroids for SQL Server Management Studio - more user-oriented, far productive tool than we have used before. We are still in awe, every day we discover new features, we still did not find after 2 something years a feature missing."
Catalin Gheorghiu
Founder, CTO and Lead Solution Architect at I Computer Solutions
The It Service
"We are able to deliver code of significantly better quality, and better tested in a shorter time than was possible before our investment in Devart tools... Our customers get access to more robust applications, against more realistic data."
Andrew Richards
Managing Director at The IT Service
Allspoke LTD
"Database design and maintenance are much easier now, saving us many man-hours every day. Schema syncing is very simple. dbForge Studio has the best feature set and is more reliable than any other tool we were using."
Mark Stratton
CTO/Director at Allspoke LTD
ChemStation
"I use dbForge Studio for everything, from one-off data edits to stored procedure or function creation, query profiling, report building, and source control. It really is my go-to platform on a day-to-day basis."
Logan Laux
Software Development Manager at ChemStation International
Proxima Software
"It has certainly halved both update and optimization times… We have reduced errors in update processes to zero."
Mirco Vanini
Senior Developer at Proxima Software, Microsoft MVP
Speech Technology Center
"SQL Complete makes writing T-SQL significantly easier than trying to operate without it... The environment missing SQL Complete feels far less polished. SQL Complete completes SSMS."
Dave Mitchell
General IT Manager at Contract Resources (NZ) Ltd
Creative Memories
"We became 25% more efficient as we saved 2 FTE hours per day, which we re-allocated to project work. In most cases, about 30% of the time spent on a project is database work, and we have seen most of that work cut in half, so we now only allocate 15%, and it's more than enough. This increase in efficiency has a big impact across many areas that depend on IT to deliver results. And when most of the work falls to one or two people, it's really important to have a tool that can move at the speed you need it to work."
Bob Guzek
IT Manager at Creative Memories
Oracle ACE
"Fortunately, I found a light tool to administer databases on a daily basis."
Ângelo César Santos de Carvalho
Database Administrator, Oracle ACE
FER
"We needed a database IDE for Postgres which would be similar to the MS SQL Server Management Studio, and dbForge was just what we were looking for. It's the best possible GUI for creating/modifying database objects and building complex SQL queries."

Frequently asked questions

What databases are supported by dbForge tools?

dbForge is divided into four lines of DBMS-specific tools, dedicated to Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle Database, and PostgreSQL.

Besides the key DBMS, the compatibility of each line may cover related databases and cloud services. For instance, dbForge tools for MySQL are also fully compatible with MariaDB, dbForge tools for SQL Server can be used with Azure SQL databases, and dbForge tools for PostgreSQL also support Amazon Redshift.

Can I try dbForge tools for free before purchasing?

Yes, dbForge follows the try-before-you-buy principle. Paid dbForge tools are available for a free trial in their top editions, so that you can explore their capabilities to the fullest extent.

The traditional duration of a free trial for dbForge tools is 30 days. There are a couple of exceptions whose trial constitutes 14 days (e.g., dbForge SQL Complete and dbForge AI Assistant).

After the trial expires, you can either purchase a license or switch to the free Express edition (in case it is available for your particular tool).

Can dbForge database tools integrate with Git or other version control systems?

dbForge Studio for SQL Server, dbForge Source Control, and dbForge Studio for MySQL can be integrated with the most popular version control systems, including Azure DevOps Server (previously known as Team Foundation Server), Apache Subversion (SVN), TFVC, Git (including GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket), Mercurial (Hg), Perforce (P4), and SourceGear Vault.

How is dbForge different from free database development tools?

The paid editions of dbForge products are far more advanced feature-wise than any given free database development tool. You can explore them during a free trial, which typically lasts 30 days, with just a couple of exceptions.

Some dbForge products are available in free Express editions with basic sets of features that stack up against the competition quite well.

Finally, some dbForge products are offered completely free of charge.

What is the pricing model for dbForge tools?

dbForge offers both perpetual licenses and subscription-based licenses for its tools. A perpetual license enables the unlimited use of a tool and includes a specified period of support and free product upgrades. A subscription-based license provides access to a tool for the duration of the subscription, after which the tool becomes inaccessible unless the subscription is renewed.

Does dbForge offer technical support?

Yes, you can always contact support with any product-related questions.

How secure is dbForge for managing sensitive data?

dbForge tools include multiple security-oriented features such as secure connections via SSH/SSL and flexible management of users and permissions.

Does dbForge provide any documentation or tutorials to get started?

dbForge Documentation Center is a perfect place to explore all the subtleties of dbForge products, with comprehensive step-by-step tutorials covering every use case.

The official Devart blog is yet another great place to get detailed tutorials, from the basics of database management to more sophisticated cases.

If you prefer videos over articles, check the Devart YouTube channel with an abundance of tutorials involving dbForge tools.

Does dbForge offer integrations with other tools for database developers?

dbForge Studio for SQL Server, dbForge Source Control, and dbForge Studio for MySQL offer integration with the most popular version control systems, while dbForge SQL Tools include a number of add-ins that can be integrated into SSMS and Visual Studio.

Can dbForge be used for database migration?

Database application development tools by dbForge deliver quite a few features for database migration - you are free to choose the one that best meets your needs. Examples include data import and export, database comparison and synchronization, and creation of a database copy in the specified target environment.
