It's nice having them all in one consistent interface and the software is very easy to use. > > **Cons**: My only gripe about dbForge is that it's only available for Microsoft Windows. > > Not a day goes by that I don't edit a stored procedure, write an SQL query, or edit live data using dbForge Studio. It's a no-brainer.. ----- ### "Functional but unstable" — 4.0/5 > **Gary** | *20 October 2020* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very easy to use and the search feature is one of the best I have used. > > **Cons**: Makes SSMS unstable and locks it up frequently, forcing me to force quit through the task manager. I can open only one search tab in SSMS. I have installed this on the two new replacement computers since I purchased dbForge and experienced the same problem. > > I like it but because it causes SSMS to be so unstable, it is overpriced. ----- ### "Great package for DBAs and developers" — 5.0/5 > **Scott** | *22 April 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: dbForge Studio is like SSMS on steroids\! Tons of features, and I especially like the tabbed interface that allows me to see multiple views very easily. The Table Build feature is much more intuitive than the SSMS interface, and the ability to easily add indexes and constraints is nice. The data export is more advanced than SSMS and allows me to tailor exactly the data I want to dump from my database. > > **Cons**: Several features that I consider essential aren't included in the Standard version, with the most glaring being the inability to create scripts for multiple objects, as you can with the Tasks - Generate Scripts feature of SSMS, and the lack of a Profiler. You can get these if you pay for the Professional version, but as those were really the ONLY thing in the Pro version I needed, I chose instead to just use the Standard and use SSMS when I needed to create scripts or use the profiler > > My software almost always interacts with a database, so having a tool that makes those easier is at the top of my list. dbForge Studio fits most of my needs (and could fit all of them, at a higher price tag), and it's very easy to use. ----- ### "dbForge gives a robust feature set without breaking your budget" — 4.0/5 > **Jim** | *21 October 2020* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to setup and use. The ability to easily export and import to and from different data sources is vital. > > **Cons**: Would like a better performance tuner, perhaps index and temporary table suggestions. Lack of monitoring or performance analytics. > > This is a must-use tool for our developers. It is easy to pick up and use. It is great product for the prcie paid. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2054097/dbforge-studio?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2054097/dbforge-studio) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
