Great and clean SQL manager for local and cloud deployed databases.
It's 1st party app which developed especially with SQL Server in mind. What else can I expect? :) Anyway, I've been use it for a while now and it surprisingly good. Light-weight, has basic features like backup-restore, explain query, etc. Although it's quite basic, it can satisfy my requirements. The neat UI is a plus.
