The database manager with the most convenient options to work with
Using the community version you have the application that has connection with most of the database engines on the market. The usual work with the data (filtering, editing, exporting, etc) is the most comfortable of those I have tested.
PROSYou can work with multiple database engines at the same time in a single application. It has very convenient data visualization and processing options.
CONSThe community version does not have all database engines available and the enterprise option has a very expensive annual subscription model.
Reason for choosing DBeaver
Dbeaver has more convenient options for working with databases. Links and display of foreign keys for example.

Great Multiplatform Database Tool
Great database tool that lets you connect and manage PostgreSQL databases and many others (MySql, Oracle, SqlServer etc. ). I've tested a lot of PostgreSQL tools and this is the most reliable and most fully featured one I've tried. Supports transactions, parameters for queries, exports, imports and more.
CONSSome updates have been buggy, but they fix it quickly. I usually wait 10 days now before installing an update.
Reason for choosing DBeaver
Had a good installer and just worked out of the box.
Reasons for switching to DBeaver
Couldn't get the PostgreSQL installer to work on my new laptop.

Best OpenSource DBMS
As a database developer is really complete, open-source, and relatively easy to use, has its issues, but if you wait for your OS (Especially MacOS) to be officially supported is a great tool for the job, really complete.
PROSIs really complete, support several database engines, from Oracle to MariaDB, Supports Packages On MariaDB using Oracle Syntax (The only one I used supporting this), It can generate ER Diagrams of the tables on a database, easy to add new connections since it downloads the drivers by itself.
CONSKinda buggy especially when a new OS is released, had a lot of problems when BigSur came out, they released fixes every couple of weeks, and now is fully compatible with big sur, I wish it had an option to export the ERD diagrams as UMLs to be used with Visual Paradigm and other diagramming software.

DBeaver - Best DB client for executing SQL queries
I really like DBeaver a lot since it feel its a very trustable product . Even if you are using community edition of the product you will still get regular product updates to improve its features and security.
PROSThe data migration and replication can be easily achieved using DBeaver . It provides lots of inbuilt database connector to connect with various databases . The inbuilt database functions are popped up while you are typing the function name , which makes the developer to write SQL's at a faster phase.
CONSThe live compilation of the SQL will really great when you are trying to frame a complex query with various database function within it .
Reasons for switching to DBeaver
The Dbeaver gives lots of features when compare to snowflake web UI.

Best in Managing Database and sessions
Overall I found Dbeaver a great utility to start with and it can handle professional operations as well. It has great search features to lookup the server and database without slowing down the operation or task management.
PROSI have found Dbeaver very user-friendly. Process controlling, running queries, and managing the database are very easy with this tool. Dbeaver allows the use of export to create the dump which is quicker than other applications. It has also a great session Manager to manage any stuck operations and tasks currently in process.
CONSDbeaver has too frequent updates which sometimes causes problems with the existing version and it has to be upgraded/updated along with the additional files that take up more disk space and resources.
Reason for choosing DBeaver
User-friendly environment and lite application
Reasons for switching to DBeaver
Limited functionality and crashes

Great for all DBs
Overall it is a great experience and I love seeing other people use it as well. Its hard to get use to at first, but once you use it its hard to go back.
PROSAbility to use it for multiple different environments and multiple different DBs and languages, seemless switching between them
CONSA bit hard to setup initially and get use to, it was a slight divestiture for other applications and a far way from what I was use to at the time in MS SQL Server Management Studio, but it was quick to get use to

Affordable Database Software
It's affordable database software offering high-quality features that can get any database job done more efficiently. The interface is amazing, and getting started is not a drag. I would recommend this to anyone in my industry. It's cost-effective, and it's an industry-level standard.
PROSThere are a lot of things to like about DBeaver. What I like most about the software is: i) It's one of the most affordable database software in the market but performs as an industry standard. ii) I can connect to most of the databases in development. iii) Easy data exporting in different formats, including XML.iv) Seamless connection with NoSQL and SQL database. v) The software has regular updatesvi) User-friendly interfacevii) integration with different databases
CONSi) I don't like the multiple tabs when retrieving a table. Which can waste time. Otherwise, it's an awesome software to use.

an application that's 100 percentage developer friendly
This tool will help to mitigate most of the production database issues in a quick time and found it to be one of the most reliable and staple tool.
PROScomplex operations such as setting relations, key words primary keys.. these things can be easily done with dbeaver and there is a space in this tool which allow you to run separate queries as sections or instances and also save and categories all the queries so that you could use it in future and the connection setup is also good based on other applications which you have to go through complex steps and all and if you wanna edit the schema of a particular table all the functions are available in it with specific instructions so that you won't get stuck in between. and if you are stuck somewhere there are plenty of forum's with which you could find instant helps and all
CONSuser interface isn't that much of an engaging type,would have been better if they improve the UI

very good tool for manage different databases
A very good tool for managing different environments and database languages, it allows you to organize the connections in an efficient way, quickly identifying which environment you are working on, it has points of improvement but one of the best tools that I have tried for the database.
PROSIt is a fairly easy to understand graphic tool that allows you to connect to almost any database language. It has multiple functionalities such as query plan that allows you to know the execution time of your queries. Allows you to customize the different environments that you set in the connections allowing you to identify which one you are working on. It also has multiple export results, allowing you to import it from a csv to a simple plain text file.
CONSSome of its many features are only available for certain database languages, thus reducing the experience you may have with some languages such as SYBASE, which for example does not support a query plan for this language.
Reasons for switching to DBeaver
Dbeaver has a much more graphical and user-friendly interface and allows you to handle much more database languages.

Great database management tool!
Best in the market for database management and schema maintenance. Easy to use.
PROSSatisfied enough with DBeaver. Helpful enough for editing database and can easily develop production deployment scripts. I have used the free version and has proved to be extremely useful and works very well. Satisfied with the tool and helps save a lot of time. Additionally, another compelling advantage of using DBeaver is auto-completion of keywords and formatting at the time of writing queries. You can even easily connect to Snowflake and other servers. in case of any queries, we can easily contact the community.
CONSAt times, it may happen that exact errors are not provided in the queries. No export feature available.

Free cross-platform database management tool that is on par with expensive alternatives
It supports connecting to a huge number of database engines which makes it very useful as it reduces your dependency on multiple tools to achieve the same goal. The query result pane is very user-friendly and feature-rich too as it allows you to filter results, store them in different formats, generate queries based on them and a lot more in a single pane while meeting the user-friendliness goals. The auto-completion is just fantastic as it always suggests the best and the most relevant results. Creating projects is also supported which makes DBeaver a must-have for database developers and database administrators. The updates are frequent enough to deal with the bugs and reported issues and also to add new features to this amazing database management tool.
CONSThe default shortcuts could be improved to match the more mainstream tools on the market but as you can edit and customise them, I don't see a huge problem here.
Reasons for switching to DBeaver
DBeaver is cross-platform and is available on Linux.

A great tool even in Community Version
I use it daily without any major issue. Stability is not a concern. A great experience so far.
PROSEven in its Community Edition, it has all the basic features to successfully work on small to medium-sized projects; you can use it in bigger projects as well but you will probably need to pair with some other tools or buy a commercial license. Paid licenses prices are quite affordable comparing to some other vendors. You can work on multiple databases at once thanks to the tabbed interface, and you can customize panels rearranging (almost) all the tools.
CONSSometimes the UI can feel a bit too cluttered and new users might be a bit overwhelmed. It can take some time to get used to it.

CONSSometimes we are feeling the software will get stuck when we are querying for larger dataset especially when we are using this for the analytics querries. Performance tuning should be taken care.

Great DBMS tool for many platforms
A nice free DB tool for multiple platform. You can do all the sql operations you want to do simply in DBeaver.
PROSI've been using free version of dbeaver since 2018. First of all, it is very good that the product is multiplatform. I can easily use it on my windows, ubuntu and macbook m1 devices. SQL editor is successfully designed. Software receives frequent updates. It is also nice that the free version of this product is opensource project.

Most powerful querying database software I ever used
I enjoy every moment I use the software sometimes I feel like a professional doing my queries!! The best thing is that the User interface helps a lot with generating SQL: most interactable objects have a “generate SQL” Wizard that does as it says converts any filtering or selection you are doing to a nice SQL query that you can use then on your Editor, what can be more powerful than that!!?? I am learning SQL just by using it!
PROSI love how easy is to setup the database connection, some other features are hard to come by but most of the features I use as just data analysis are easy to use. I love how tables can be seen as an interactive excel table and to be able to apply filters without having to write SQL at all!! Dbeaver is a very easy to learn for non-technical people.
CONSThere is so many thing that can be done with the software that I wish there was a analyst view or some limited version so I don’t risk on doing something wrong to the databases, something I don’t use that much but I don’t like how the software seems overcrowded of features.
