I like that it enables develops, data architects and DBAs to collaborate. It also ensures that only approved changes make it to the database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used Flyway(Version control) in the last two companies and my projects; it's like magic.
1. easy to integrate.
2. no need to much worried about the DMLs and DDL changes in your database, has to write sql queries and flyway will run them according to the versions.
3.easy to debug. If any query fails can look into the version table and can rerun your scripts.
4. repair method is again a lifesaver(you can enable or disable it). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
