DbVisualizer vs. ESF Database Migration Toolkit vs. DataGrip

DbVis is our tool of choice when we need to work with a wide variety of Db vendors and versions. It allows us to replace several proprietary tools for accessing and, in part, managing database systems. It gives our customers and us a single base to work on databases. No need for us or them to install, learn, and pay for multiple solutions. If one would, for example, use ONLY one dbms, e.g., PostgreSQL, then DBVis could be a bit of an overkill.

You will like DataGrip; it is the best software to channel and influence data systems and efficiently. It will help you be more efficient and productive in exporting computer data; it is very effective. There are no errors, and you will feel comfortable using them. It promotes data quality and has excellent graphics to represent your information through statistical processes.

• 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.

• I like and enjoy this tool because it is intuitive and straightforward; its interface and panels are for managing local and remote databases.
• It is beneficial and powerful for database administration and has extensive support for handling multiple database engines.
• DataGrip's features and functionalities are excellent; they make our work easier and faster.
• We can manage several databases at the same time.

• 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)

• An easier way to have a pool saved queries that can opened quickly

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.

Usability has two aspects, being a complete tool and being easy... DataGrip has a lot of features but it is big, not clear how to use most of the things and most people won't need them. In my opinion, usability is good enough but not friendly.

[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 that's a big selling point.

DataGrip provides a single UI for many DBMS platforms, instead of using one for each. Because of that, you can migrate things between platforms using the tool and "look across" all databases at once.

• Positive: Real time saver when working across multiple databases. At least 30-40 mins a day are saved
• Positive: Helpful for the 'quick DBA' tasks without switching to the native tools: approx 1-2 hours saved weekly
• Positive: Easy switch between environments / schemas / etc without hassle: saved at least an hour daily

• It has been perfect for detailed analysis of clients and companies; it gives us the competitiveness we were always looking for.
