I am testing a redgate belt and the toolbox seems pretty awesome ... but before I buy anything ... could you recommend any other tools like these?
The only other provider with similar composition and quality that I know of will be ApexSQL
Visual Studio Database Edition provides a subset of the features provided by RedGate. It might be better than RedGate if your team uses Team Foundation Server for version control.
If you need data comparison, schema comparison, or visual query builder, you can take a look at our SQL Server tools.
