It been quite useful and handy for my day to day Review Source SJ Sebastian J. Sr. QA Automation Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A great tool for DB management" November 2, 2024 5.0 A great tool for DB management, reading, writing, etc Pros It is easy to connect and configure different DB accesses Cons Nothing specific I dislike, it has accomplished with all my needs Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Middleware Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Software eficiente para Gestionar tus Bases de datos" February 12, 2024 5.0 Una experiencia muy eficiente para la gestion de mis bases de datos. Pros La facilidad de conexion entre distintos motores de bases de datos, asi como tambien la facilidad de importacion, exportacion y transferencias de data entre las bases de datos que se gestionan con el software DBeaver Cons Hasta el momento las pocas opciones que he utilizado, me han sido muy funcional. Por esa razon no tengo desventajas que mencionar. Reason for choosing DBeaver Por eficiencia y Conectividad hacia muchas marcas de bases de datos Switched from [pgAdmin](https://www.capterra.com/p/210772/pgAdmin/) Porque el software anterior no era muy eficiente para manejo de mucha data, ademas de que solo me funcionaba para una marca de base de datos. cuando queria conectarme a otra marca de base de datos tenia que buscar otro software para trabajar. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Consultant / developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great tool even in Community Version" June 9, 2023 5.0 I use it daily without any major issue. Stability is not a concern. A great experience so far. Pros Even in its Community Edition, it has all the basic features to successfully work on small to medium-sized projects; you can use it in bigger projects as well but you will probably need to pair with some other tools or buy a commercial license. Paid licenses prices are quite affordable comparing to some other vendors. You can work on multiple databases at once thanks to the tabbed interface, and you can customize panels rearranging (almost) all the tools. Cons Sometimes the UI can feel a bit too cluttered and new users might be a bit overwhelmed. It can take some time to get used to it. Review Source BN Bongani N. BI/SQL Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Affordable Database Software" January 21, 2023 5.0 It's affordable database software offering high-quality features that can get any database job done more efficiently. The interface is amazing, and getting started is not a drag. I would recommend this to anyone in my industry. It's cost-effective, and it's an industry-level standard. Pros There are a lot of things to like about DBeaver. What I like most about the software is: i) It's one of the most affordable database software in the market but performs as an industry standard. ii) I can connect to most of the databases in development. iii) Easy data exporting in different formats, including XML.iv) Seamless connection with NoSQL and SQL database. v) The software has regular updatesvi) User-friendly interfacevii) integration with different databases Cons i) I don't like the multiple tabs when retrieving a table. Which can waste time. Otherwise, it's an awesome software to use. Switched from [DataGrip](https://www.capterra.com/p/239237/DataGrip/) It was way more expensive! Review Source Giovanni P. Analyst Programmer Banking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### " very good tool for manage different databases" July 16, 2021 4.0 A very good tool for managing different environments and database languages, it allows you to organize the connections in an efficient way, quickly identifying which environment you are working on, it has points of improvement but one of the best tools that I have tried for the database. Pros It is a fairly easy to understand graphic tool that allows you to connect to almost any database language. It has multiple functionalities such as query plan that allows you to know the execution time of your queries. Allows you to customize the different environments that you set in the connections allowing you to identify which one you are working on. It also has multiple export results, allowing you to import it from a csv to a simple plain text file. Cons Some of its many features are only available for certain database languages, thus reducing the experience you may have with some languages such as SYBASE, which for example does not support a query plan for this language.

Strategy Lead Packaging and Containers Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good value tool for all SQL queries" December 30, 2023 5.0 \- overall, very good and useful tool to have in terms of SQL work Pros \- Easy to use and get trained for reading and writing SQL queries - can retrieve all kinds of data through queries Cons \- Export function could be easy to understand - Sometimes, you have to navigate the different functionalities Review Source Mariana R. Senior Tax consultant II Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Most powerful querying database software I ever used" June 12, 2021 5.0 I enjoy every moment I use the software sometimes I feel like a professional doing my queries!! The best thing is that the User interface helps a lot with generating SQL: most interactable objects have a “generate SQL” Wizard that does as it says converts any filtering or selection you are doing to a nice SQL query that you can use then on your Editor, what can be more powerful than that!!?? I am learning SQL just by using it! Pros I love how easy is to setup the database connection, some other features are hard to come by but most of the features I use as just data analysis are easy to use. I love how tables can be seen as an interactive excel table and to be able to apply filters without having to write SQL at all!! Dbeaver is a very easy to learn for non-technical people. Cons There is so many thing that can be done with the software that I wish there was a analyst view or some limited version so I don’t risk on doing something wrong to the databases, something I don’t use that much but I don’t like how the software seems overcrowded of features. Review Source Rakesh R. software engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "an application that's 100 percentage developer friendly" March 7, 2021 5.0 This tool will help to mitigate most of the production database issues in a quick time and found it to be one of the most reliable and staple tool. Pros complex operations such as setting relations, key words primary keys.. these things can be easily done with dbeaver and there is a space in this tool which allow you to run separate queries as sections or instances and also save and categories all the queries so that you could use it in future and the connection setup is also good based on other applications which you have to go through complex steps and all and if you wanna edit the schema of a particular table all the functions are available in it with specific instructions so that you won't get stuck in between. and if you are stuck somewhere there are plenty of forum's with which you could find instant helps and all Cons user interface isn't that much of an engaging type,would have been better if they improve the UI Review Source VR Verified Reviewer trainer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "DBeaver is a great universal database manager" July 10, 2021 4.0 When you need to quickly look in a database / table,especially when it is not the RDBMS that you are using most of the time, DBeaver is great. It's eclipse based so familiar to java developers. The easy of making a connection (wizard / guided) allows everyone to work with it. Pros DBeaver is really a great tool to work with. I am using the community version and the way it allows for making connections to databases is great. Whenever you want to make a connection it for instance, will download driver when needed. The support for RDBMS is great and even H2 (a flat file dbms) is supported which is great. It allows for server connections to H2 as well as regular. A lot of RDBMS are supported. Even LDAP can be connected to. The ERD functionality is helpful in showing relationship between databases. Cons Not that much not to like. The only database i did not see (and that i know) is IMS DB (from the 1960) but in theory that should also be possible since there is a JDBC for that database. Working with the data en executing queries and commands take a little effort but that is about it. Reason for choosing DBeaver When a tool is this good (and free, which suits my use case) DBeaver is a no brainer, even over specialised tools from a specific RDBMS vendor.

Very satisfied with the product and its features. Pros The product has support to connect to almost all kinds of DBs. Connectors are available for all. You can easily package your queries, import/export scripts, execute/write scripts, navigate db schemas, views, functions, tables. DBeaver is a complete package for DB access and management. Cons Only one thing to improve is if the db connection is invalidated and you run a query, it takes a lot of time to validate the connection and run the query. It gets stuck sometimes. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great DBMS tool for many platforms" January 23, 2022 5.0 A nice free DB tool for multiple platform. You can do all the sql operations you want to do simply in DBeaver. Pros I've been using free version of dbeaver since 2018. First of all, it is very good that the product is multiplatform. I can easily use it on my windows, ubuntu and macbook m1 devices. SQL editor is successfully designed. Software receives frequent updates. It is also nice that the free version of this product is opensource project. Cons Sometimes import, export data and may be causing the problem. Also UI may seem a bit confusing for first-timers.

Love the auto complete feature, makes it easy and time saving to query multiple columns without having to remember the metadata Cons Real time errors, dbeaver invalidates the working database having to re open the application.

It has good number of options to connect and edit the query, Cons There is alot of options in the settings but they are too complex to understand, hence it's not much useful as they are hidden in the plain sight for the new users Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Backend developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good data management tool " March 26, 2023 4.0 Pros It has a great user interface and pretty much-advanced features like query execution plan analysis database backup and restores the user interface is customizable so it's great.

Owner Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Free App For Managing Databases" July 6, 2021 4.0 Overall, I have found DBeaver to be a valuable part of my daily work flow. It is updated regularly and bugs are fixed quickly. I would recommend DBeaver to anyone looking for a simple, easy to use DB editor. Pros I love the ease of use of DBeaver. I use it on a daily basis to manage several MariaDB databases. It works great on Kubuntu and has become my goto tool for database management. It remembers tabs for my next session, has an easy SQL editor with autocompletion and is straight forward to run through a proxy. Cons On occasion, I have had problems creating both MySql events and procedures using Dbeaver. In both cases I have had to resort to the MySql command prompt and then confirm through DBeaver. A minor annoyance as these are unusual use cases for me. Review Source Diego S. Applied Data Scientist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The swiss army knife of database manager" May 6, 2021 5.0 I just love DBeaver so much that i recommend it to all the people that ask for a database manager. It makes my life easier and working with it is fun and easy!! My life as data scientist is much easier with this tool around! Pros It has so many features that I find very useful, for example the query editor with output and object explorer is fabulous. But the most impressive feature is its connectivity to almost any database engine, from a SQLite to a Postgres database or Microsoft sql. Also there is a build in feature to manage the table schemas and data model to change data types and modify or add relationships!! I forgot also to mention the performance monitoring this is great to see how is the database performing. Dbeaver is a full feature database manager. Cons Not much, only that if you open two instances of the same app it shows an error of the driver being in use, but there is no need for doing this. Review Source Similar Products Featured
