"SQL Prompt is Pretty Much a Necessity for SQL Server"
What do you like best about SQL Prompt?

The autocomplete is super-fast, it auto-suggests joins when there is a PK/FK relationship, formats my code the way I want. Just so many things. I'm in the camp of "I'll never work on SQL Server without it again, even if I have to switch jobs". If you haven't used it before, sign up for a free trial and see what it can do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Prompt?

It doesn't work with VS Code is the only complaint I have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once a user learns to use SQL Prompt, and if by any chance they no longer have that option, they feel lost. The tool is so perfect that it simply makes work easier and faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Prompt?

Nothing because the tool is perfect! I really enjoy it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Everything SSMS Should Have Been OOTB"
What do you like best about SQL Prompt?

A no-hassle tool. SQL Prompt provides useful intellisense suggestions that go way beyond the scope of what the bog-standard SSMS environment provides. Redgate have found a niche in the market where Microsoft refuses to elaborate, and I commend them for that. There are a plethora of features, most of which I probably don't use to the full extent, but suggestions for the sprocs to call, auto-filling of code, auto-formatting, casing, efficiency/code-standard suggestions, and even allowing to peek at sprocs if you need to just quickly view some previously written code are invaluable for saving time. On top of that, the environmental feature that allow you to colour-coordinate your environments is an underrated perk that's useful for when you are making SQL changes in different areas. I use SQL prompt every day as it slices the amount of development time for tasks. Some would argue that SQL prompt is a crutch, and I have to admit I wouldn't be without it now, but there's a reason for that, and that's simply because it's too good to pass up.

What do you dislike about SQL Prompt?

SQL Prompt can be quite resources intensive at times. I have no issues with the product as a whole, but the SQL history feature can really bog down my workstation.This is definitely a minor greviance in the scope of the product however. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I won't work without it"
What do you like best about SQL Prompt?

When I changed organizations and lost access to SQL Prompt, I immediately decided to purchase it myself. I rely on its formatting and snippets every day. My new team also started using Prompt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Prompt?

Maybe I use it too much now. If I have to write all syntax correctly without it, I might lose my job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A must-have in everey project"
What do you like best about SQL Prompt?

SQL Prompt's SQL syntax type-ahaead, smart column suggestions, alias resolution... you name it: these features come in so handy and natural you only immediately notice when they're not there (because you launched the wrong instance of SSMS). I don't want to work without it.

As for time saved, this thing literally pays for itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Prompt?

With the usual underpowered terminal server virtual desktop session, performance can be just a tad sluggish at times, particularly at startup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think of any downsides. Just a great product and company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SQL Prompt?

SQL Prompt is where I need it. It's quick and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Prompt?

It does not handle well SQL upgrades. Recently upgraded instances to SQL 2022 and users reporting crashes. Need to upgrade SQL Prompt, but this could be potentially handled better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
