    DBeaver is used by some of our customers. We find it clunky and unintuitive. One customer used TOAD for his Oracle installation (15+ years ago). We did not like it at all. When researching for a universal database tool some 20 years ago, we found dbvis and never looked back. …

    SSMS is fabulous for databases with an on-prem SQL Server driver, but not very helpful with anything else. I loathe DBeaver. It runs your query once for a "sample"... and even if that sample took 45 minutes to pull, it'll run the query AGAIN for 45 minutes to show you your full …

    Oracle product - clunky UI, no mass DDL or data export. Bad editor
    DBeaver - setting JDBC drivers manually is a pain. Clunky UI.
    pgAdmin - good for pure DB admin, but SQL and table management is clunky.

    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.

    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.

    Pros
    DBeaver
    • Identify types of DB connections by color code: development, testing and production.
    • Predictive typing, it is incredibly accurate and saves me a lot of time.
    • Jump between different simultaneous DB connections.
    • Navigate through the schema object tree.
    • Provide all the tools I need in one window.

    • Out-of-the-box support for many different databases.
    • Intuitive UI for interacting with data.
    • Flexibility of SQL Commander for writing scripts.
    • Great support for working with JSON data in recent updates.
    • Database connections over SSH.
    • Table relationship visualization is very helpful.
    • The tree view is well organized in how it splits out schemas.

    Cons
    DBeaver
    • Schema editing is not very intuitive. Editing a single column forces you into multiple tab windows when trying to change something simple like a column name.
    • Sorting and filtering in data is nice, but buried in long right-click menus.
    • Some things are definitely non-standard UI for a Windows application, so it might be hard for die-hard Windows fans to get used to.

    • 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)

    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.

    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.
