Chose DBeaver
It's perfectly similar. I like the look of the tool and the color designations, and that makes it preferable to hop into on a daily basis.
Chose DBeaver
Sequel Pro and Ace are much simpler but they have dangerous defaults such as writing updates without confirmation.
Chose DBeaver
SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) developers should take a look at DBeaver to see how a real management studio application should be. In DBeaver you can tell that the developers really think about the way DBAs and database developers use database management tools. With SSMS, …
Chose DBeaver
We found that sharing scripts and generating DDLs from Snowflake's IDE was a bit too much of a chore. Because of this, we began looking for alternate products. We found DBeaver, a free community tool, and tried it out. We've found that it is very intuitive and easy to use, I …
Chose DBeaver
DBeaver is more user-friendly than the other tools I have used. But security-wise, I don't trust it as much as other tools.
Chose 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 …
Chose DBeaver
dbForge Studio has a more intuitive UI for die-hard Windows users. It's also easier to use sorting and filtering in their grids. However, that one lacked the script generation and schema editing tools our development team needed to use on an almost daily basis.

Great tool for developers to use to dive into their databases. Not so great if you are a die-hard Windows user with expectations of a SQL Management studio replacement. This is the less suited tool for people looking to just view and edit data. If you need to generate any scripts or import and export data, this is the tool to use.

Pros
  • 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.

Cons
  • 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.

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
