DBeaver vs. ApexSQL by Quest

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.

ApexSQL streamslines and automate DBMS in no time, helps in implementing the auditing and compliance requirements and data migration and it also help in building scalable application and secure application like when we develop application using Apex SQL, it will become very secure automatically due to its build in features and also building small application and deployment of code is very easy When you have very large data size sometimes it run a bit slow.

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.
