User Testimonials
	DbVisualizer	RAD Studio
Likelihood to Recommend	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	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. MM Mike McGugan COO Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	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) Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	We never had problems with it. It is able to connect to all data sources (Oracle, Informix, DB2, SQL Server) that we currently use. Incentivized Lisandro Fernigrini BI/ETL Developer Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	I use this tool for several hours each day, spanning many years in various projects.

Return on Investment	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 Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
