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.

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.

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 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.

Ease of use, quick installation, ability to connect with so many databases and ability to play around with query results.

Upon new installation, I could see that the existing database connections were removed and needed to be re-created. If something can be done to export existing database connections as a file which could be imported upon an upgrade, that would be great!

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 like this tool very much. It's easy to use und brings very good features.

I like so mutch the feature to navigate in my databases.

At the moment, I dont miss any feature in DbVisualizer.

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 love to be able to open multiple tabs, to save my database commands by functionality, and the ability to view database tables and columns.

Sometimes queries are very difficult to stop and I have to go to AWS to check if they are still running and / or manually kill them.

This product is easy enough to use that I have even configured it for non-technical customers to allow them to easily browse and even edit data. There is some setup in those situations, but it is minimal (create the connection)

I love this product. I cannot think of anything that I am not happy with.

This consistent interface provided by DBVis as we are constantly querying multiple databases from different vendors has made it easy to deploy and provide consistent examples to our user base.

quick storage of past query results is really helpful in determining what did and didn't work well previously. While script storage is possible, that has been time and again one of my go to resources.

I haven't really found any downside to the product yet.

The fact of using a single tool to access all the database types I had to deal with (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle and MSSQL Server).

I find the need of installing the JRE a bit cumbersome. On the other hand this makes the installation flexible, because it can be installed on different OSs with the same user experience.

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.

I use DbVis for database administration tasks (create users, roles, database objects) as well for writing SQL queries and run complex data analysis.

It supports almost all SQL databases, which have jdbc driver. As a person who works with 10th of different databases, I can organize connections and all my scripts properly.

It could consume less memory, but it's written in Java, so I can not expect that much.

We are using DbVis on a daily base, to homologize the use of software. One tool fits it all.

Its intuitive to use and allows more over the GUI than other software. Its a breeze to use this solution for multiple DBs of Type (pgSQL/MSSQL).

A bit difficult is the use of the Java Connectors. Some do not give all possibilities of the vendors ODBC driver.

Greatly appriciate the software, have been using it for the last 8 years on and off, and I wouldn't be without it when handling databases

I like the GUI and the way you can manage multiple databases in a click!

Double clicking on the database should start the run SQL command window rather than showing connection information of the DB

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.

Ease of use with multiple tabs, options for downloading results, DDL easily accessible.

Require password to run queries in selected environments, or other warning controls to prevent unwanted commands in sensitive environments.

DBVisualizer is game-changer while evaluating expensive products for collecting various data. It is one of the much-needed tool that makes it easy to modify database schema and then run queries against them.

Simple and easy-to-navigate the data using the tables and that is provided with a clear graphical representation. The most amazing feature is that I can easily switch multiple switch DB instantly without facing any problems. Fast searching, duplication, SSH tunnelling are the other great features offered by the tool.

The tool is bit expensive. The quick object filtering feature seems to be confusing enough as I don't have enough idea to use it in an effective manner. For beginners, sometimes it would be difficult to navigate to the configuration section.

* The ability to support multiple database.* Quick UI based representation of table relationships.* Great visualizations to reverse engineer schema

* The ability of no having SQL competition

DbVisualizer is a great tool for database querying. Very easy to setup and use. Has some pretty nice features.

There is not really anything which I don't like.

Overall Dbvizualizer has been a very useful tool that I have been using for several years whenever I need to visually work or understand the database that I'm working with. Very easy to use, intuitive features and I'm sure anybody will find some useful features in it.

One of the features that I like the most from Dbvizualizer is the ability to generate a nice ER diagram from the connected DB and even for specific DB objects.

The only thing I have noticed is that it may be too high-consuming resources for older computers. Also when I run it in Linux the app will crash every once in a while.
