    BMC AMI Cloud Vault provides immutable cloud storage, allowing businesses to create secure, unchangeable copies of critical data for rapid recovery in the event of ransomware. >For organizations looking to move away from expensive Virtual Tape Libraries (VTL) or on-premises storage, BMC AMI Cloud Data is well-suited, as it supports backing up or archiving mainframe data directly to cloud object storage (e.g., AWS).

    Seamlessly querying PostgreSQL/PostGIS, Oracle, SQL Server, and SQLite from one interface without switching tools. The intelligent autocomplete and schema browsing make it ideal for writing queries and understanding unfamiliar databases. Complex performance tuning, deep monitoring, and automated backup/recovery require specialized DBA tools. Performance degrades with tens or hundreds of thousands of rows; command-line tools or ETL solutions are better suited to bulk data processing.

    Cons

    • In Change Manager, IDAA objects can't be analyzed. This is a big issue if you have Accelerated Tables in your shop.
    • Not able to find how runa Accelerated tasks in batch, especially long time loading

    • Small, but noticeable: it would be nice to be able to highlight just one column of a data output for copy/paste by clicking on the column header (a feature some of us are accustomed to from SQL Server Management Studio)
    • Is there an ability to bulk import an excel file to a table in a connected SQL Server in DbVis? If so, I haven't figured that out yet. I still largely use Microsoft SSMS to import data to our team's personal SQL Server, but can easily query that server via DbVis)
    • (I really don't have any major complaints - our company has tried to steer users toward DBeaver for YEARS, which I cannot stand. DbVis knocks the beaver out of the water)

    We never had problems with it. It is able to connect to all data sources (Oracle, Informix, DB2, SQL Server) that we currently use.

    Usability
    BMC Software Inc.
    My overall experience with BMC AMI data has been great so far because after installing this software in our business now we are able to work on long term projects and business expansions. The software has made sure that our team work more on analysis and strategic data management that's why I would like to give it 9 out of 10

    It does what we need it for, which is manipulate data, check connections, visualize database structures, check on user rights, or even just version checks on the used databases. The 'type to get to table name' feature is often irrational in behaviour, which leads to frustration. The start-up time could be much better, and the UI changes between versions are sometimes a hassle for us when buttons are suddenly moved or their appearance changes. We use a wide variety of DBVis versions on customer installations (which use the once-bought version), and differences in the look and feel between versions sometimes slow us down.

    See all of the software have different attributes and working process they gives the different analytical results so I will not compare them directly to BMC AMI Data but I would say they all are pioneers platform at their own level.

    [DbVisualizer] is pretty easy to use compared to IntelliJ because of it's simplicity. The performance is very good, it feels as good as a native application compared to the other two softwares I used for the same purpose. It's very cheaper compared to the other two tools and that's a big selling point.
