Currently I am using Flyway as version based database migration tool, however I am thinking for an alternative tool which can produce better reporting and whose performance is better. Currently flyway migration is taking too much time, how I can improve the performance..

All the DB deployments in our current organization are manual. We want to automate them. We are leaning toward Liquibase since it has versioning and rollbacks. Is Flyway better or Liquibase?
