Overall: Best DB Managing SW supporting multiple different DBs in one solution. I've been using this SW for over 10 years almost daily. I've used it and discovered for my past company and after left I bought my own license and still using this SW. I appreciate regular updates and new features that keeps SW on top.

Pros: DBVisualizer offers an incredibly unified environment that streamlines my workflow. With run, compile, and development tools all integrated into one application, it eliminates the need to juggle between multiple platforms. The rich ecosystem of extensions is another major plus, allowing me to extend functionality and support a wide range of tasks specific to my development needs. It’s a one-stop shop that’s both powerful and flexible.

Cons: The interface isn’t the most intuitive, especially for newer users or those unfamiliar with similar tools. It takes a little time and effort to get used to the layout and workflows. Additionally, deploying packages isn’t always straightforward and can require a bit of tinkering to get things just right.

Overall: Despite the minor learning curve, DBVisualizer has become my preferred SQL development environment. It’s more capable and versatile than tools like SQL Developer and TOAD, making it a top choice for serious developers who value having everything in one place. Once configured, it’s a reliable and efficient tool I use daily.

Pros: Designed well and easy to use. Much easier than IDE tools and switching between environments with safety nets is seamless. The prediction tools also make developing queries fast.

Cons: I don't really have any specific issues, though I would love to see more optimisation features in the future.

Overall: Overall long term customer, very happy with the product. I have tried using other tools over the years, though I always gone straight back to DbVisualizer. Lots of functionality and easy to navigate structures and generate queries.

Pros: One GUI to rule them all! DbVisualizer is a universal client management that you can use for many popular databases from mySQL, MS SQL Server, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and many more. Really easy UI interface and works in Windows, Linux, and Mac OS!

Cons: I don't really have any complaints about DbVisualizer!

Overall: This has been my go to SQL Client for the past 5 years. They have a great product with excellent support and a vibrant community.

Pros: Easy to install and configure; use same interface across multiple database platforms. Quick and dirty use of SQL while still being able to do things like browse tables.

Cons: Rough upgrade process, but the most recent major release fixed this with a more automatic process.

Overall: We needed a tool to just be able to get data out of RDMS'. This fit the bill. It uses a JDBC common denominator to give the same experience no matter your environment - - I personally use it currently with 6 different RDMS'. (SQL Server, Sybase, Informix, PostGres, MySQL, Oracle)

Sometimes you just need a quick tool to get your data out.

Pros: Easy to use and easy to get new team members using the product. Clear menu items. Great online user guide.

Cons: I do not have many complaints about DbVis. I have been able to troubleshoot my problems with the online user guide.

Overall: I prefer DbVis over all the other similar products I have tried. I also have received online support.

Pros: Easy to use (setting up connections, looking at databases/tables, saving code) and makes coding and database access fast and efficient

Cons: Nothing negative to say about this product, I've always been able to do everything I need to with it.

Overall: I've used DbVisualizer to access data for over 10 years. It makes doing my job so easy that I'd hate to have to work without it.

Pros: Ease of use. Ease of updating. I have never used support so I cannot comment as to how good the support is.

Cons: The search UI is a little weird and I think it could be a little better but I am not a UI person.

Overall: Overall I am a satisfied customer. I have not used a lot of other similar tools to compare it to. Maybe that is because I did not have to as this products gets the job done for me.

Pros: Very easy to use, supports many DBs, great SQL editor with auto-complete, and helpful export options.

Cons: Free version has some limitations; performance can slow down with very large datasets.

Overall: DBVisualizer is a very practical and reliable tool for managing and querying databases. It’s easy to use, supports multiple database types, and offers powerful features even in the free version.

Pros: Connect to most databases
Ease of use

Cons: No major cons. If you forget to extend the heap size when pulling very large amounts of data, the application can lock up.

Overall: The best sql development tool I have used. Been using DbVis 17+ years. The product keeps getting better.

Pros: Super clean design, with ability to connect to multiple databases at the same time, and it runs on Mac!

Cons: there are two things that I would like to see:
1. cross platform queries
2. ability to do simple manipulation of the result sets, such as sum, avg, pivot, without sending the output to excel

Overall: Overall, I really like DbVisualizer. It allows me to perform my job easily and efficiently, and it’s one of the few SQL tools that is truly Mac-friendly.

Pros: - The user interface is intuitive making it very easy to use.
- Connects to everything.
- Reasonably Priced.
- It is still being improved.

Cons: - I wish there was a way that I could manage MySQL users in DBVis.

Overall: I use DBVis to connect to SQL Server, MySQL, and Postgres daily. It meets every need and does it simply. I have recommended it to numerous people and will continue to do so in the future.

Pros: As a longtime Mac user, I've relied on DbVisualizer for years, and it continues to impress. It's incredibly versatile; handling every SQL engine I’ve thrown at it with ease, from PostgreSQL to Snowflake and everything in between.

Overall: DbVisualizer is a powerhouse SQL client that delivers across the board. Whether you're a casual user or a daily SQL warrior, it's a must-have tool that combines cross-platform support, rich features, and long-term reliability. Highly recommended!

Pros: I've use DbVisualizer for over 12 years now. I worked with others on Jobs but given the chance i install DbVisualizer

Cons: The window management could be more flexible.

Overall: Great tool. I would advise everybody to try it out. Make it easier for yourself and get the professional version

Pros: I love table column sorting/filters, the new workspace feature, db specific object handling like Oracle's sequences.

Cons: When I have a lot of tables open, the popup on the right side gets a bit unwieldy. It would be nice to have that as a drag and drop list since dragging the tabs of open tables is difficult when you have 30 tables open and the title is so long (yes, I've customized those).

Overall: Overall, a really good tool to in the toolbox. I use it heavily; seldom a day that I don't. Support team is quite responsive, too, if I have problems or suggestions.

Pros: * Straight forward and intuitive interface
* Great features for the price
* Love the SQL Formatting
* SQL History is very handy
* Edit in place (table editing)
* Try before you buy

Cons: There really isn't anything I have found yet that I don't like. I would like to see a AI able to help me build more complicated queries.

Overall: I have been using this application for years. The latest update is very usable and feature rich. It is very simple to setup and get going.

Pros: It's has an intuitive interface, which simplifies database management – even for a novice like me and works well on my Mac platform!

Cons: it can be demanding on system resources, especially when working with large datasets or keeping numerous data tabs open.

Overall: DBVisualizer has been a great solution for my database access needs. It’s easy to use and doesn’t overwhelm you with complicated features, but it still has everything you need to get the job done. I love how straightforward the interface is—it makes exploring data so much simpler. Even for someone who isn’t a database expert, this tool feels approachable and reliable. Highly recommended for its ease of use and powerful functionality!

Pros: Once program, all databases.

You can query or modify different database format from a unique interface.

Cons: General environment

The java portability have a poor user interface.

Overall: I need edit database structures, modify existent databases and create querys on databases.

Some time I modify or add data to a table.

Pros: * Intuitive user interface
* Integration with so many different types of databases
* Easy to teach
* Results can be extracted into multiple file formats for customers
* Easy to install and product is updated frequently
* Excellent and immediate support

Cons: In my experience using the product, I have no Cons to call out with the product. I am yet to find a bug in a release version and on the times I've needed support, I have had a response within 24 hours.

Overall: Overall my experience with DbVisualizer has been excellent. I use the product daily and what started as a tool for a couple of developers has progressed into a tool we're using across the business in multiple departments with multiple users.

Pros: Over the years I've had to reach out to support about 5 times. Support has always been very prompt and fulsome in their responses and have helped me get to a resolution quickly.

Cons: Every now and then the app seizes up and I've no choice but to force quit it. Unsure if this is a JDK issue.

Overall: I've been using DbVisualizer since 2008 at work first. When work switched to a different DB IDE which was much inferior, I opted to pay for DbV myself as it makes life much easier for me for my work and personal development.
