Idera Software
DBArtisan is functional and suitable for any sized organization that needs to monitor its database resources and running queries.

If you are connecting to Snowflake and want to query from your laptop, I find that this is much easier to use than Snowflake's IDE. It allows us as a business intelligence team to more easily connect to our servers, and code with much less hassle. It would be less appropriate if you are only on an on-premises SQL server, in that case, I would just use SSMS.

Pros
Idera Software
  • User interface is easy to use, and in some ways better than Toad. The left hand side shows all databases, and you can drill down to instance, storage, schemas, tablespaces, and performance views. The right hand side displays the details of the selected object.
  • This is the best tool if you want to manage multiple RDBMS platforms in a single tool using the same familiar interface. Other third party tools can do it also, but it's not nearly as integrated as this, and may require additional plug-ins installed. DBArtisan excels at this, and can perform cross-platform data migrations easily.
  • It has different DB analysts, which can help diagnose issues with performance, optimize storage, detect fragmentation, and plan for capacity growth. For almost any action you want to take, you can generate the DDL for preview, and/or schedule it to run at a specific time.

DBeaver
  • Data import/export and SQL Script generation are quick and simple to do.
  • Fairly intuitive when viewing/editing table data.
  • Ability to save SQL scripts per server and recall them easily.
  • Handy intelligence when writing queries, functions, and stored procs.

  • Some icons are kinda small and difficult to understand what they do
  • The spanish translation could be better
  • I think there are many functions that could be useful for me but I don't know what they do

I have never tried their support so the number above is meaningless

Not a lot of users have DBeaver so fewer resources are available online to help you if you have any issues. When I was trying to figure out how to create my own ER diagrams, it was a little tough to find resources

DBArtisan does not have an in-depth performance analyzer for databases.

MySQL workbench from MySQL only supports MySQL databases and it only provides basic functionality. On top of that, the user experience could be quite confusing for first-time users. SSMS from SQL server doesn't support inline editing nicely. The view for inline editing and view data is different, making it uncomfortable to use. All in all, DBeaver is the best tool when you manage a lot of databases with different types.

Return on Investment
Idera Software
  • It has a positive ROI on our organization. It's better than OEM and SQL Developer. Although the license could be expensive, it is perfect for large organizations, especially with multiple RDBMS platforms.
  • Most features are redundant between DBArtisan and Toad. I would not recommend using both if you already own one of them. Just download the trial for the one you're not using, and see what works best for your organization.
  • DBArtisan is great for DBAs and would be my personal preference. Toad is good for developers and DBAs alike but I feel like sometimes the interface is too busy and too clumsy to use.

DBeaver
  • Positive Ability to manage DBeaver and query ad-hoc quickly
  • By having the queries saved it has saved developer time and thereby increased the ROI on the investment on the tool
  • This has made firefighting quicker and freed up resources for more development work.
