DBeaver vs. IDERA SQL Compliance Manager

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.

The payment card industry is best as it has built-in PCI DSS compliant and in a transactional DB where there are a lot of DML activities the size of the database must be increased.

• 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.

• Audit Logins
• DML Activities
• DDL Activities
• Queries Reporting

• 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.

• Should have a compression algorithm to compress the audited logs, as it will take a lot of space.
• Can not audit all the DML and DDL activities as it will take a lot of space, should have a compression algo.

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

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

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.

More easy to use, no SQL queries to extract data out of it, graphical user interface is very good and easy to use.

• 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.

• Audit reports are a hectic job for a DBA it made them easy.
