DBeaver vs. Rapid SQL

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.

Rapid SQL is great for smaller organizations and development teams who are experienced with an SQL environment. It is not suitable for most beginners who are not familiar and need a learning platform.

• 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

• User base support is not as great as MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle.
• The included editor could be refined. I notice some of the reserved words were not highlighted.

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

Support is outstanding and gets answers quickly when confronted at a client site with an issue.

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.

The IT department uses it so we adopted the software. I would have chosen SQL Server myself.
