N/A
DbVisualizer is a multi-database tool for developers, analysts and database administrators, providing a single interface across a wide variety of operating systems. Boasting an easy-to-use and clean interface, the vendor states that DbVisualizer has proven to be one of the most cost effective database tools available, yet to mention that it runs on all major operating systems and supports all major RDBMS that are available. Users only need to learn and master one application. DbVisualizer…

DbVisualizer
Considered Both Products
DbVisualizer
Chose DbVisualizer
Oracle product - clunky UI, no mass DDL or data export. Bad editor
DBeaver - setting JDBC drivers manually is a pain. Clunky UI.
pgAdmin - good for pure DB admin, but SQL and table management is clunky.
Chose DbVisualizer
DbVisualizer provides enhanced security features and better cross-platform compatibility. Also more intuitive user interface and relatively short learning time to get up to speed with all the functionality offered.
Chose DbVisualizer
We use both. SAS is easier to test strategies, while DbVisualizer is easier to pull the data.
Chose DbVisualizer
much simpler to use
more reliable connections
Chose DbVisualizer
The only time I use a product that is specific to a particular database is when I need to perform some product-specific function on that database. Otherwise, for everything else, I use DbVisualizer.
Chose DbVisualizer
Better intactions with the data inside the database
Chose DbVisualizer
DbVisualizer is cheaper but more powerful than TOAD
SQL Developer is a free, very basic tool with limited capabilities
Chose DbVisualizer
DbVisualizer was much more intuitive and supports DB connections from all of the above RDBMS services
Chose DbVisualizer
Just more flexible and easier to use.
Chose DbVisualizer
Although it may not have engine-specific features that SQL Developer or Management Studio have (or any other specific client IDE), most regular tasks can be achieved from DbVisualizer no matter the database you are connecting to. This reduces the learning curve for most …
Chose DbVisualizer
The big advantage DbVisualizer has over a lot of the DB clients out there is that it is not tied to a particular database. It can be easily used across many data sources. Its other advantage is that it is intuitive to use and you can be up and running in a couple of minutes.
Chose DbVisualizer
DbVisualizer provides a good value when compared against other 3rd party products with similar features as well as products with similar functionality made by the database vendors. The user interface is good and user friendly / intuitive and easy to learn. It doesn't take too …
Chose DbVisualizer
DbVisualizer was our go-to solution and we didn't really consider other alternatives.
Chose DbVisualizer
[DbVisualizer] is pretty easy to use compared to IntelliJ because of it's simplicity. The performance is very good, it feels as good as a native application compared to the other two softwares I used for the same purpose. It's very cheaper compared to the other two tools and …
Chose DbVisualizer
DbVisualizer is easy to use and very intuitive. It provides all the features I need. I tried using DataGrip as part of Intellij in order to have everything in one IDE, but I keep coming back to DbVisualizer.
Chose DbVisualizer
When I started with the analysis of databases, more experienced colleagues recommended it to me. I tried it and I could not be more satisfied with its performance--so much so that I have not had the need to search or compare with others. I think it will always accompany me in …
Chose DbVisualizer
DbVisualizer is a more complete and more functional universal tool than IntelliJ's built-in SQL client. It supports more storage systems than SquirrelSQL or MySQL Workbench. I've also had a license for DbVisualizer since 2006, so there's a bit of inertia on my end.
Chose DbVisualizer
I still have many of the native product tools. But it is a PIA to have to learn the different interfaces for each. I like the consistency of DbVisualizer
Chose DbVisualizer
Navicat Premium - Costs much more without providing a better experience.
DataGrip - Nice and powerful but prefer DbVisualizer being standalone and cleaner.
DbBeaver - Similiar but DbVisualizer is in my opinion easier to use and offers much better support.

DbVis Software AB
Whenever you have to access data sources from more than one database engine provider, you should consider using DbVisualizer for the task. Switching between multiples IDE consumes time and resources (memory), and you also need to learn menus, shortcuts, etc., for each IDE, while using DbVisualizer allows you to work consistently no matter which database engine you are connecting. You can use it to simply navigate through data structures, write SQL sentences or even create new tables and views, develop stored procedures, etc.

Pros
DbVis Software AB
  • Timed queries that add their result to the result grid for every execution are helpful. Creation of graphs also extremely helpful.
  • Query history and auto-recover feature makes sure we don't lose our queries.
  • Actions like exporting grids to Excel or other tools is a very easy task.

Cons
DbVis Software AB
  • does not handle lost connections well (specially after stopping a running query) (mysql). eg. after hitting stop, and then hitting run again, it can sometimes look like its running the query, but it isn't actually!
  • filtering on databases window is clunky (why the need for filtering certain object types at a time? just filter everything, google style)
  • altering table, adding columns (NOT to the end of the table's columns, but earlier) is not supported (mysql) even though the db supports it (alter table add column BEFORE..)

We never had problems with it. It is able to connect to all data sources (Oracle, Informix, DB2, SQL Server) that we currently use.

Menus are simple and well organized. You can use the same shortcuts no matter which database engine you are connecting to. Configuration of data source connections is simple while keeping all required options.

DbVisualizer provides a good value when compared against other 3rd party products with similar features as well as products with similar functionality made by the database vendors. The user interface is good and user friendly / intuitive and easy to learn. It doesn't take too long for an experienced DBA / database developer to come up to speed.

Return on Investment
DbVis Software AB
  • The institution is of the governmental type, therefore we do not measure the commercial impact of using this tool
