Testimonials

I've been quite happy with the ApexSQL Source Control tool.

Bryan Johns

Hobbyist/OSS developer

We are really satisfied with ApexSQL Source Control tool and really pleased to be part of your success. Congratulations!

Felipe Souza

Linear Code

I find ApexSQL Source Control absolutely essential to have proper functionality in place to manage auditing of database object changes (who changed what and when), versioning (enabling reverting to any version of a database object) and controls enabling multiple developers to safely work on the same database. Source Control from ApexSQL achieves this and is affordable, is maturing rapidly by developers who have a passion to see their software surpass their competitors, and support is always impeccable. I recommend this software and company to all of my clients.

Robert Blomstrand

Senior Database and .Net Developer Consultant

Exabyte Development

I’m very pleased with ApexSQL Source Control. Glad to have our SQL in Source Control, and it works great for me to capture and safely track changes made by some of our power users without them having to be directly involved.

Lee Morrison

Director of Software Development

Dual Commercial, Inc.

Liked how ApexSQL Source Control hooked up to TFS quickly and tracked the source changes of the various objects I altered during my testing. In addition, ApexSQL Source Control is very fast to install and link to the databases on my SQL instance. We created a custom tool to do something similar to this, and it was a pain to manage. With ApexSQL Source Control, it takes all of the guess work out of SC.

Rick Olsen

Manager of Application Development

R&B Solutions

We have been searching for a way to keep track of SQL database changes across our dev team without pulling our hair out. ApexSQL Source Control works straight away - no hassles. As a developer, if I cannot get a tool to work quickly - I move on. We had a narrow focus, but ApexSQL Source Control did everything we wanted. SQL database objects have caused us a lot of grief and ApexSQL Source Control helps tremendously.
