DBeaver
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.

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.

Hex Technologies, Inc
  • Limited support for R notebooks
  • Limited sharing outside of the app (e.g., no slack integration)
  • Some Python knowledge needed for highest levels of aggregations

It's perfectly easy to use. Not super new and shiny with lots of accessibility tailored tools, but does the job

Support Rating
DBeaver
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

Alternatives Considered
DBeaver
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.
