## Reviews
### "A good database documenter tool" — 4.0/5
> **Miles** | *12 May 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
>
> **Pros**: easy to use\! And deploying the output was just as easy.
I didn't realize that the column descriptor information was stored in the database, so you never lose it, awesome\!
>
> **Cons**: The Properties section should be at the bottom. Depends on and Used by sections at the top. Maybe allow me to position each of these sections, rather than just a Show/No Show?
When I open the software, the last used project should appear for easy selection.
The checkboxes in the treeview are too small
>
> I need to document my databases as part of the technical documentation for my web software. dbForge Documenter has made it easy\! And the perpetual license allows me to use it at my discretion, without worrying about product expiration.
