DbVisualizer vs. Devart ODBC Driver

Seamlessly querying PostgreSQL/PostGIS, Oracle, SQL Server, and SQLite from one interface without switching tools. The intelligent autocomplete and schema browsing make it ideal for writing queries and understanding unfamiliar databases. Complex performance tuning, deep monitoring, and automated backup/recovery require specialized DBA tools. Performance degrades with tens or hundreds of thousands of rows; command-line tools or ETL solutions are better suited to bulk data processing.

We are using it mainly for automation. We are using HP Quality Center as our automation tool and started using Devart ODBC for connectivity to Oracle DB. We have a lot of queries in our scripts that make several connections to the db for a particular user scenario. Devart ODBC has improved the overall runtime needed for the scripts.

• Out-of-the-box support for many different databases.
• Intuitive UI for interacting with data.
• Flexibility of SQL Commander for writing scripts.
• Great support for working with JSON data in recent updates.
• Database connections over SSH.
• Table relationship visualization is very helpful.
• The tree view is well organized in how it splits out schemas.

• It is available for variety of OSs like Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.
• Speed of data transfer is great.
• It supports SSH and SSL.
• It supports HTTPS tunneling.
• Almost no connection failures makes it very reliable.
• It is available for 32-bit and 64-bit both.

• Small, but noticeable: it would be nice to be able to highlight just one column of a data output for copy/paste by clicking on the column header (a feature some of us are accustomed to from SQL Server Management Studio)
• Is there an ability to bulk import an excel file to a table in a connected SQL Server in DbVis? If so, I haven't figured that out yet. I still largely use Microsoft SSMS to import data to our team's personal SQL Server, but can easily query that server via DbVis)
• (I really don't have any major complaints - our company has tried to steer users toward DBeaver for YEARS, which I cannot stand. DbVis knocks the beaver out of the water)

• It would be good if the connection details are stored on the cloud based on the user login so that even if the software is corrupted, it can be pulled in automatically from the cloud upon reinstallation.
• It would great if video demos were available for the key features of the tool. That would make it a lot simpler for the user when using it the first time.
• User friendliness can be improved.

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

I use this tool for several hours each day, spanning many years in various projects. It's wide support for various database types while keeping consistency within the UI for each is important when working with various databases day in and day out.

Support has been great so far but still, it could be better.

DBeaver is used by some of our customers. We find it clunky and unintuitive. One customer used TOAD for his Oracle installation (15+ years ago). We did not like it at all. When researching for a universal database tool some 20 years ago, we found dbvis and never looked back. We have not found a need to look for other soulutions so we never checked others.

Devart Driver ODBC for MySQL is best with no known issues. It is stand-alone. It supports SSH/SSL communication. supports HTTP / HTTPS tunneling. It is available for a variety of operating systems like Windows, Mac, and Linux. It is available for 32-bit and 64-bit environments. It supports all renowned programming languages. it supports multiple languages. It allows various data types.

Incentivized

• The pricing for DbVisualizer is fair.
• The tool also succeeds in non-functional areas I find important, such as being able to install and/or run without requiring administrator privileges on Windows.
• Has capability to generate diagrams and models from existing databases which is very helpful in reverse engineering.

Incentivized

• Performance of the transactions has improved.
• It meets our business objectives.
