DBeaver vs. Raima Database Manager (RDM)

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.

Works very well in applications designed for IoT devices where performance and footprint are of great importance.

• 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.

• First of all the performance of RDM was superior compared to SQLite in my multi-user environment (about 200 users). The pricing was surprisingly good compared to other high-performance databases.
• Decreased time to market, a faster and more performant application overall and lower maintenance costs.
• They run on most RTOS and can be used in a cross-platform environment.

• 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 would like to see REST API with a GUI for administration

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.

RDM performs way better than SQLite when the database is larger and has multiple users.

• 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.

• Decreased time to market
• Decreased maintenance and service costs on hardware.
