Mainly data collection from our standalone systems, to support advanced data analytics and reporting.

DbVisualizer was a game changer for us when we were evaluating expensive products to do data collection. It provided as with cost effective options to collect large amount of data effortlessly.

None that I can think of. It worked great and met all our requirements.

DbVisualizer became my primary database tool, and I don't want to miss it.

I often must navigate in the database's data, and that's where DbVisualizer shines.

The code completion is not as good as with DataGrip

Overall DbVisualizer has become a staple in my toolbox because I am able to access different platform databases without having to switch between the vendor-provided tools. It has many of the features that I need and would gain by using the other tools.

The ability to connect to a database-independent of platform from a single tool is the biggest reason for my use of DbVisualizer. The tool provides a single tool that can query or inspect the database structure.

There is not much to dislike about the tool, but it would be nice to have the option to export to Excel. The export feature is something that I do use regularly and being able to get data into Excel for business users to consume would be helpful.

Very pleased, meets our Data Engineering and exploration needs at a fair pricepoint

Ease of use,,, Price, Connectors,,, frequent updates

For what we use it for, it meets the need

I've been using DBVis for about as long as it's been around. I recall using it back around 1999. This product has continued to evolve and improve, which is why I continue to subscribe to annual updates. The greatest benefit I've gotten from the app is a single platform providing access to any data source having a JDBC driver (which is probably near all of them) and that exposes those differing systems in a common and consistent way. There is absolutely no noticeable lag or buffering or constant cache updates like I see with another product.

Prior to about 2017 I'd have very little to say here. Around that time I began using a programming editor, JetBrains IntelliJ Ultimate. Part of that software is their full DataGrip application. Somehow, they've got the edge when it comes to code completion and object introspection. The responsiveness within the UI is so much quicker and smoother than when I enable auto-completion in DbVis.

I do a lot of experimentation using DbVisualizer. It allows me to easily modify database schema, load new 'experimental' datasets, and then run queries against them. (Hence, if I had Python scripting in DbVisualizer, I could do everything in there and I would only ever use DbVisualizer).

It's easy to connect to databases, easy to manage and query them, it's simply a fantastic tool for anyone who frequently interacts with databases. I use it in preference to the database vendor's own tools - I use one tool to rule them all :^).

I haven't come across any yet. But...if I had a wish list feature that I could add to DbVisualizer, it would be support for something like Python scripting within DbVisualizer itself. That would give me the perfect tool.

DbVisualizer has helped me in my work greatly for many years. I believe it's been a decade or more that I've been using it. I've tried other database tools, but in my work, no other software is as comprehensive and quick to use as DbVisualizer.

My favorite three things in DbVisualizer are 1) variable replacement and 2) inline export functionality. The time I save exporting my results as a CSV as the query is running is super helpful! It happens right inline with my scripted queries using the @export command and its settings. I love it. Finally, 3) the documentation is great. I can always find what I'm looking for with the online documentation, when I need it.

This is a user preference issue, and just my opinion: The theme (colors, fonts, etc.) options changed with the last version on Mac and I would like to be able to use the original theme from earlier versions. In fairness, I haven't spent the time to investigate if this is possible, but the 4 or 5 themes you are given as startup options are not great, to me.

Since 2015, I've been using DbVisualizer in order to work, primarily, with Salesforce. Since then I've also used it with Sqlite3, PostgreSQL, MS SqlServer and others. The Pro version is especially handy due to having the ability to open as many SQL (and other) windows as necessary. Once I used the macro abilities for ETL type of work and found that to be easier than expected. Overall, a solid, worthwhile tool.

Interfaces with any database I've attempted to use. Extremely useful with Salesforce (assuming availability of an appropriate JDBC driver) Easy to discover schema, save schema, duplicate databases for multiple environments Shows all data in a specified table Data exportable and importable as CSV

Sometimes, setting up a new database connection can be a little tricky. Admin must know the options.

I've been using DbVis since the first version, well over twenty years. I've tried various other tools but keep coming back to DbVis for it's familiar ease-of-use. Indispensable tool.

Easy to manage multiple database platforms from one interface.

Java-based implementation can be sluggish.

Supports many databases - just using java

It's UI is somewhat java based/limited ...

I have been using DbVisualizer for over 10 years, keeping up with updates along the way. I have I tried out most of the similar universal database client tools, but nothing compares with DbVisualizer.

Provides a common interface to many different databases. Easy to use.

One feature I would like to see added is the ability to run an external shell command whenever I connect or disconnect to a database.

I have been using this product for over 5 years. I searched for a long time, tried many other products but once I found DbVisualizer my search was over. I even prefer and use this over MySQL’s Workbench.

This is my go to product for dealing with our MySQL instances which host our data warehouse. It has everything I need and it is simple to use. I do not think I have ever referenced the help for DbVisualizer.

I would like to see the ability to deal with user accounts and permissions added.

It my opinion it’s an excellent product.

The ability to reverse engineer the objects is most important.

I have not discovered anything yet. I use it for postgres.

I love the ease of DBVisualizer, everything is there and easy to use. It doesn’t take a lot of training to figure out each capability.

I do wish when importing from a file it gave a bit more info in what is failing if applicable.

The ease of use with communicating and accessing the different source systems we work with daily

The Enterprise license structure policy. We do not have enough users to fulfill.

It is used as a frontend to the database server. Allows both the occasional use and more heavy duty daily use.

DbVisualizer allows access to the Mimer SQL database. In fact, ALL SQL data definition commands can be generated through the menu interface.Very easy to get an overview of the schema and all objects in the database.

Difficult to setup first connection and get started.

I've had very good experience.

Good visualization, good use of memory and easy to back out of queries.

I wish copying values from a result set would put commas between the values and single quotes like SQL developer does.

Love it. I literally use it 3 times a week at minimum.

I love it's ease of use connecting, navigating and querying. The query builder feature is a great way to start on complex joins without having to type a lot. :-)

The viewing of relationships and references or anything looking like an ERD is quite unintuitive and clunky.

Introduced it at Rabobank via my personal license and then they to opted for a corporate license

Ease of use and rich functionality a.o. the Monitor function

Actually i could think of any function I miss

DB Visualizer is very easy to use. It's great that you can save your queries and even if the software is closed and you had forgotten to save the query, it will remember it when the software loads.

Sometimes the software performs slow with many open queries.

I've been using DbVisualizer for over 10 years. Across multiple companies and across multiple roles, it's my preferred tool for looking at the database.

The UI was always OK at best, but recent updates have turned that around entirely.

Love it, use it - it will be your best Data friend.

I'm definately no SQL geek but I always get what I need out of DbVis. Support info is great, with a bit of internent searching and I've got some very impressing reports. Pro version is a must to get what you need stress free.

There is a bit of learning curve ... but so is there to switch on the TV.

DB Visualizer makes it easy to run SQL queries against multiple systems quickly and easily. My productivity has improved because of how well it works.

I have not had any problems with DbVisualizer.

I have to connect to multiple databases every day, from SQL to DB2 and it's great that I can do it under one interface.

I would like a faster way to export data to csv.

DbVisualizer is a great tool for a developer.

I was able to get DbVisualizer up and running very quickly. The interface is intuitive and I didn't need to consult documentation until I need more advanced features such as variables.

Creating and editing connections could be easier to use, but I don't do that very often.
