Just my two cents. We are starting a large project and I am a new hire tasked with the database development. One of my requirements is to provide database deployments in a continuous integartion environment. VS seems to do this well, (I'm still testing). But, and it's a big one,mI only have Vs professional which does not support DB compare etc. vs premium is another 4k per license vs 1500 for the redgate SQL tools. I am trying to hammer out a solution using both redgate and vs, but the two do not speak the same language I.e. e DB project in vs stores the DB meta data differently than redgate. If redgate's TFS integration matched vs DB project, then I could use both tools. So if redgate matched the souce control storage that vs uses, you would be offering users a chaper alternative to vs premium.
