Cons None that I can think of. It worked great and met all our requirements. Reason for choosing DbVisualizer Cost effective and ease of use & implementation. Review Source TR Tomaž R. Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Exploring Data is easy" April 4, 2024 4.0 DbVisualizer stands as a versatile and powerful tool for database management and analysis. Its intuitive interface, robust querying capabilities, and comprehensive feature set make it indispensable for my work Pros Intuitive user interface and excels in its querying capabilities. SQL editor is robust and feature-rich, offering syntax highlighting. Support for various database especially DB2 and Oracle. Cons No real conf about DbVis for now. Keep up the good work Review Source Vivek K. Director Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best multiple DB engines supported tool" June 2, 2023 5.0 Pros \* The ability to support multiple database.\* Quick UI based representation of table relationships.\* Great visualizations to reverse engineer schema Cons \* The ability of no having SQL competition Alternatives considered [DBeaver](https://www.capterra.com/p/210182/DBeaver/)[Valentina Studio](https://www.capterra.com/p/129019/Valentina-Studio/) Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fullt functional multi-platform database client" May 8, 2020 4.0 Overall DbVisualizer has become a staple in my toolbox because I am able to access different platform databases without having to switch between the vendor-provided tools. It has many of the features that I need and would gain by using the other tools. Pros The ability to connect to a database-independent of platform from a single tool is the biggest reason for my use of DbVisualizer. The tool provides a single tool that can query or inspect the database structure. Cons There is not much to dislike about the tool, but it would be nice to have the option to export to Excel. The export feature is something that I do use regularly and being able to get data into Excel for business users to consume would be helpful. Review Source MR Miangaly R. Data Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Très bien pour gérer et se connecter à différentes bases de données" January 15, 2024 5.0 Pros Je travaille sur plusieurs bases de données d'éditeurs différents : Oracle, MySQL, DB2 z/Os, MSSQL, PostGre... DBVisualizer me permet d'avoir toutes ces différentes bases dans un seul logiciel, et je n'ai donc pas à ouvrir tous les logiciels éditeurs à chaque fois que j'en ai besoin. C'est un logiciel vraiment pratique car il vous permet de tout avoir dans une seule application. Cons La fonctionnalité d'auto-commit n'est parfois pas activée (même si elle l'était auparavant), si on ne fait pas attention, les modifications ne sont pas sauvegardées Review Source KK Kim K. Professional Research Associate Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool that keeps on improving" April 24, 2024 5.0 Pros I've been using dbvis for almost 20 years. It is reliable, has all the features I need, and keeps on improving to support more server types and add new features. I like its ability to build queries with column aids, to run large queries when necessary, to keep track of many database connections, and to run explain plan queries with visualization. Cons No problems really. I've stuck with it for a long time even though there are numerous competitors. Switched from [Toad](https://www.capterra.com/p/155783/Database-Management-Solutions/)[DataGrip](https://www.capterra.com/p/239237/DataGrip/) I switched from Toad a long time ago, don't remember exactly why. I've tried DataGrip because I use IntelliJ and PyCharm, but I still like DbVis better. Review Source JA Johan A. Software Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Everyday data manipulation tool, including weekends" September 21, 2020 5.0 I've been using DbVisualiser for many years and I've never felt the need to consider another tool for my database needs. I use this professionally as wellas for my hobby projects and DbVisualizer is light enough to be used at home and strong enough to handle extensive reports that I do at work (and export them to excel ) Over the 10+ years I've contacted support and have always had a prompt response and very qualified help. Pros I use this toll with everything from H2 embedded databses to Oracle production servers and the thing I like most is how I'm given the best support for all of these databaseses/vendors . Cons Whenever I have run into "limitations" in this product I immediatly consider if the thing I'm trying to do is a "good" way of doing things or if there is another way that will work with the tool and also be maintainable. (having a 30000+ lines of pl/sql-script might not be the best way to do things anyway) Reason for choosing DbVisualizer I used the free version and then decided to support DbVisualizer since it is a splendid product. Review Source MS Michael S. Sr. Software Engineer Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fantastic database tool for software professionals" October 20, 2020 5.0 DbVisualizer has helped me in my work greatly for many years. I believe it's been a decade or more that I've been using it. I've tried other database tools, but in my work, no other software is as comprehensive and quick to use as DbVisualizer. Pros My favorite three things in DbVisualizer are 1) variable replacement and 2) inline export functionality. The time I save exporting my results as a CSV as the query is running is super helpful! It happens right inline with my scripted queries using the @export command and its settings. I love it. Finally, 3) the documentation is great. I can always find what I'm looking for with the online documentation, when I need it. Cons This is a user preference issue, and just my opinion: The theme (colors, fonts, etc.) options changed with the last version on Mac and I would like to be able to use the original theme from earlier versions. In fairness, I haven't spent the time to investigate if this is possible, but the 4 or 5 themes you are given as startup options are not great, to me. Review Source KG Kunal G. Staff Software Engineer Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "DBVisualizer is amazing! Simple to use and very quick" June 4, 2023 5.0 Pros Ease of use, quick installation, ability to connect with so many databases and ability to play around with query results. Cons Upon new installation, I could see that the existing database connections were removed and needed to be re-created. If something can be done to export existing database connections as a file which could be imported upon an upgrade, that would be great! Review Source JB John B. Director, Data Engineering Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "John Butler Review" June 2, 2023 4.0 Good Pros The many connectors it has. The Snowflake connector is a particularly important one for us.The UI is simple, intuitive and familiar Cons Nothing major. We have been able to work around limitations Switched from [Oracle Database](https://www.capterra.com/p/5938/Oracle-Database/) Needed to have one tool for all databases, including Snowflake Review Source JMS Josep Maria S. CEO Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good product" June 5, 2023 4.0 It has a big impact on our performance increasing our capacity to develope SQLs Pros It's easy to use, it's very fast and it's easy to manage different databases Cons Sometimes it's complicate to use a friendly constructor for relations between tables Review Source Simon M. Programming Architect and CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Navigation in data is superior" April 3, 2024 5.0 DbVisualizer became my primary database tool, and I don't want to miss it. Pros I often must navigate in the database's data, and that's where DbVisualizer shines. Cons The code completion is not as good as with DataGrip Switched from [DataGrip](https://www.capterra.com/p/239237/DataGrip/) DataGrip is also a great product, but it has no data navigation. Review Source DS Deepak S. Technology Director Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "DbVisualizer is a fantastic tool for a Database developer or DBA" April 3, 2024 5.0 Overall experience is very good, I am loving it. Pros Database diagrams and exporting results to multiple different formats Cons Not having autocomplete for stored procedures Alternatives considered [DataGrip](https://www.capterra.com/p/239237/DataGrip/) Reason for choosing DbVisualizer DbVisualizer is inexpensive and feature rich at that price point. Review Source NC Niels C. Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful and easy to use SQL Client" June 2, 2023 5.0 Pros Tons of features. Most importantly great editor with autocomplete. Cons Tons of features that are a bit too inaccessible to use. E.g scripting that is sooo powerful but hard to figure out how works. Switched from [Toad](https://www.capterra.com/p/155783/Database-Management-Solutions/) Switched to macOS Review Source DV David V. Quality Assurance Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy and efftective" March 14, 2023 5.0 Pros I love the ease of DBVisualizer, everything is there and easy to use. It doesn’t take a lot of training to figure out each capability. Cons I do wish when importing from a file it gave a bit more info in what is failing if applicable. Review Source RH Robert H. Enterprise Support Specialist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Go to application" March 14, 2023 5.0 Pros The ease of use with communicating and accessing the different source systems we work with daily Cons The Enterprise license structure policy. We do not have enough users to fulfill. Review Source TL Tim L. Owner Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The gold standard for multiple database management work." September 21, 2020 5.0 I have yet to find a tool that works like DbVisualizer for my multiple database work. Pros It is the best product on the market for multi-platform database management. A single interface for all the major databases. It saves me countless hours when working on different platforms. The spend to delivery is why it is my primary tool. The export tools are solid and provides for ease of cross platform work. Cons The challenge with being the best for all platforms is that it also comes with its challenges regarding "explain plans" for database optimization. Reason for choosing DbVisualizer Clean, powerful, usable and very effective interface. Review Source PB Peter B. Business Process Manager Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Big help!" June 2, 2023 5.0 Pros Comprehensiveneyy from this SW .. i like it!

Director Information Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Our Go-to For Snowflake Connection" April 3, 2024 5.0 Have used DbViz for over 10 years and one tool wouldn't be without for our data work. Pros It is very easy to set up and get going quickly. Full of way more functionality than we will use so haven't found any limitations. One small feature, it's an app you can close down and be right back to where you were once restarting your work/project. Cons No real downsides. Have started to use ChatGPT to write SQL so would be nice to have an AI interface or capability built-in. Reason for choosing DbVisualizer Only needed to learn one tool that could be used across various databases.

September 22, 2020 5.0 Greatly appriciate the software, have been using it for the last 8 years on and off, and I wouldn't be without it when handling databases Pros I like the GUI and the way you can manage multiple databases in a click! Cons Double clicking on the database should start the run SQL command window rather than showing connection information of the DB Review Source VR Verified Reviewer back end developer Online Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "DB VIS review" March 12, 2020 4.0 Pros Query time mentioned along with the results made me write faster queries and importing exporting is much easier and can be done with in the connections Cons Tabs wont be opened in seperate tab unless we select that option with a right click and also if connection fails it doesn' give much details Review Source MB Michael B. Senior Backend Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Long time user - haven't seen anything better" March 20, 2023 5.0 I have been using DbVisualizer for over 10 years, keeping up with updates along the way. I have I tried out most of the similar universal database client tools, but nothing compares with DbVisualizer. Pros Provides a common interface to many different databases. Easy to use. Cons One feature I would like to see added is the ability to run an external shell command whenever I connect or disconnect to a database. Review Source JB Jens B.

Pros Good visualization, good use of memory and easy to back out of queries.

I like the fact that you can open up a result set in Excel. I like the way SQL is formatted Review Source AC Austin C. Systems Communication Engineer Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I love DbVisualizer" March 16, 2023 5.0 Pros DbVisualizer is extremely easy to use. I love the interface.
