Count vs. SQL Connect vs. SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) vs. SQLNotebook Comparison Chart

Count is a fully collaborative and reactive data whiteboard. It brings together all the flexibility and creativity of a whiteboard, with the power of a SQL IDE, and the reactivity of BI notebooks. It makes it easy to break apart complex SQL queries and data models into interconnected cells to better understand the logic. Add sticky notes and visuals to help explain your work to stakeholders. Collaborate with other analysts or stakeholders as you build so you can get feedback faster. Turn any canvas into an interactive report or slideshow presentation.

SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) transforms database development by introducing a ubiquitous, declarative model that spans all the phases of database development inside Visual Studio. You can use SSDT Transact-SQL design capabilities to build, debug, maintain, and refactor databases. You can work with a database project, or directly with a connected database instance on or off-premise. Developers can use familiar Visual Studio tools for database development. Tools such as: code navigation, IntelliSense, language support that parallels what is available for C# and Visual Basic, platform-specific validation, debugging, and declarative editing in the Transact-SQL editor. SSDT also provides a visual Table Designer for creating and editing tables in either database projects or connected database instances. While you are working on your database projects in a team-based environment, you can use version control for all the files.
