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 is more user friendly, more visually appealing and allows me to work more fluidly. I feel like the UI is more intuitive, and the regular updates are very nice. I have not found any other product like it that feels as pleasant and easy to use.

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.

We use pgAdmin to develop and test database schemas, write and debug SQL queries. The debugging and profiling tools are particularly useful in this context Instead for applications requiring real-time data processing and minimal latency, pgAdmin might not be suitable due to its potential performance limitations. Idem with large database

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
  • 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)

  • Connection profile can be improved

DbVis Software AB
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.
