    SQL Clone! I used it one time to spin up 15 clones of a 1TB image for a training class.

    SQL Monitor.  Life-saver.  So easy to monitor all my instances and diagnose issues.  I have a large monitor on display so anyone who walks by can take a glance at the health of our instances.  No longer have the drive-bys from managers asking, "So, how's SQL doing?".  They get it all with a glance.

    That is hard, I would say SQL Compare (or SQL Data Compare) they have both saved me so much time and frustration they are priceless.

    I thinks it's the SQL Monitor. It easily provides a great overview of the monitored SQL servers and it is possible to integrate great custom metrics.

    SQL Prompt. SSMS keeps closing. SQL Prompt has saved my bacon when I have multiple tabs open. Don't know how I lived without it.

    SQL Prompt definitely, must have tool for every SQL folk. SQL code formatting, history of code tabs with searching are very useful, code snippets, code styles profiles...

    SQL Source Control just edges it over Prompt - sometimes getting database developers to use source control is like herding cats.  SQL Source control makes it so easy that you see very little resistance and the devs can concentrate on delivering value.

    SQL Dependency Tracker helped me get to grips on the database schema of an undocumented database on a large data migration project that was many months behind due to being bogged down in the low-level dependencies. It gave me a map of the work done and remaining. It was a saving guide.

    My favorite is SQL Data Generator, because it‘s flexible and a great tool in times of DSGVO (GDPR).
