Offers integration with multiple databases, stable product and reduced our manual intervention
I would recommend using it. To learn Liquibase, one should have some database knowledge. If the person is from a DBA background, they would be able to learn quickly. But if they are from an application or infrastructure role, it's medium complex. Before getting started, you should thoroughly go through the documentation and follow the latest changes deployed by the Liquibase product team. Basically, when using the product, you should be able to understand it and stay updated on the latest releases. Overall, I would rate the product a nine out of ten. Organizations should have this kind of tool to reduce manual intervention. The one point they could improve on is documentation, which they haven't clarified, and they need to work on that a lot.

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 of Git is its reliability and user popularity."
"We use the tool to store codes."
"The most valuable feature is having access to the local country repository even if we have problems with distance access."
"Git is an easy-to-use solution that can be used for parallel working."
"The product protects our data."
"The product is easy to use."
"Git's learning curve is shallow, making the solution easy to use after a few tutorials."
"The features I am most impressed by is the automation."
"It will be useful for teams to automate and reduce manual work."
"They have some nice features around the automation of rule checking. They have a rules engine that checks the SQL code so that you can actually do your edit checks on the validity of the SQL code. If you don't want certain tables to be able to have certain things done to them, you can have it checked for that. It's a very flexible way to kind of do an automated peer review of the SQL code to catch things before you actually try to deploy it."
"The solution is easy to use, and it has very clear documentation."
 

Cons

"The GUI needs to be improved."
"The platform could have a feature for monitoring data recovery similar to Azure."
"About the configuration it is a little bit difficult, it can be improved."
"We would like to see tutorials added to the product, for new users to follow so that they can optimize their use of the solution."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model of Git."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"If the file changes are on the same line, we need to resolve a merge conflict manually. Let's say there is a merge conflict on line 50 because we have multiple commits on the same line number. Git could add some artificial intelligence to resolve the conflict automatically."
"I would rate the initial setup process a four, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the most difficult and 10 being the easiest. The reason for this rating is that once there are conflicts, it takes a lot of effort to resolve them."
"We were not able to delete some of the tables because of a security issue."
"The pricing is quite high."
"One thing we faced issues with is that Liquibase does not show the exact error, which added to the complexity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Git is free and you don't have to pay for it."
"We are using the open-source version, which is available free of charge."
"The tool is an open-source product."
"I am not required to pay due to the small number of users we have. We have a small user base, and we are not using the enterprise version."
"The tool is free."
"As a student, I didn't have to pay for the license."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"Git is completely free."
"The pricing is fair."
"Liquibase is an open-source solution."
