## Reviews

### "Made a tough problem simple." — 5.0/5

> **Bob** | *8 January 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This solved a major issue with using Microsoft Identity.  The native Identity migrations don't matchup with the MySQL data types.  dotConnect for MySQL made it painless to setup and get working.  I had previously tried to use the native MySQL connectors for .NET and wasted countless hours trying to get things to match up.  This solved my problem in short order.
> 
> **Cons**: The documentation could be a little better and updated for modern .NET Frameworks.  Outside of that, everything worked as I expected.

### "Outstanding Product" — 5.0/5

> **Peter** | *10 July 2025* | Farming | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: simple to use, very reliable in years of use it has never been the reason for any issues. recommend 100%
> 
> **Cons**: It is  genuinely is hard to find cons.. it does what it says on the tin, sometimes the licencing when upgrading caused an issue but they supply a tool to easily fix
> 
> I wholeheartedly recommend this product its amazing and i have now began using some other products from Devart. All are amazing

### "Excellent product and fast model generation" — 5.0/5

> **Pablo** | *25 July 2025* | Import & Export | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Fast and reliable connection to Mysql. Great flexibility to generate Entity Framework model classes.
> 
> **Cons**: Some minor nuisances if you are moving from Oracle .NET connector (you should since it s barely mantained).
> 
> Great product, good customer support and a lifesaver if you have a legacy Entity Framework project and you are using .NET legacy connectors.

### "Everything is faster with dotconnect" — 5.0/5

> **Domenico** | *28 July 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use and development tools available
> 
> **Cons**: I'm sorry that dbforge fusion is not yet integrated with visual stidio 2022
> 
> It allows me to link my projects to the mariadb database

-----

### "It's a great tool" — 5.0/5

> **Marcus** | *27 July 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Support has been outstanding.  The tool itself is reliable and without bugs.  This company provides a range of complimentary tools to streamline database development.  Its integration into the Visual Studio IDE is a must for us and it's seamless.
> 
> **Cons**: We often get a warning that its not licensed correctly when installing on a customers site.  We have a quick and nasty work around which is installing our DotConnect installation on the site and that fixes it right up.  I completely understand the need for licensing selling software ourselves, but I find this product a little finicky at times.  Mostly, it goes off without a hitch.
> 
> It's my our stop shop.  It does what it does, and it does it extremally well.
