Had a few issues with aforementioned diagramming tool losing its DB connection and getting it connected again was a lot more difficult than it should have been.

The interface with regards the returned datasets is impressive. The ease of editing data.

DbForge gives a robust feature set without breaking your budget.

I love being able to completely copy a database from one server to another with a few clicks, which makes it super quick to keep my dev environment in sync with the live database.

Need the pro version for what should be basic. Not a very large community when searching for solution to a problem.

Provides a point-and-click interface and you get to see the actual SQL being generated. Excellent for running queries on tables with lots of records.

The application is not developing, I bought a license for 3 years and I am disappointed.

The ability to compare schemas is a lifesaver for migrating from dev to test to prod. Data comparisons work great.

I love this software and it offers a great value over its competitors and a shortened learning curve for those of use who use SSMS.

The Test Data Loading is a wonderful tool where we can just load about 100K to 500K Records without any issues. This feature has helped us performing some initial tuning to the Queries.

I was struggling to get a product that can help me develop as easy as Access. Now with this software I found myself developing faster and give me joy because I found it almost as easy as Access.

Sometimes it crashes when I  accidentally press F10.

Limited functionality to access/update database properties compared to SQL Management Studio.

Company provides highly reliable and functional products at great prices, but customer service takes a long time to respond.

The only negative thing is the customer portal. It could be a little bit user friendly.

Very easy to use, has all the features I needed. Data and schema comparison and data synchronisation are perfect and no other software can compete with it.

Showing the foreign key table when clicking the foreign key is awesome.

Makes SSMS unstable and locks it up frequently, forcing me to force quit through the task manager.

Sometimes you just need to do a quick edit to a view and it's a bit frustrating to deal with.

Ease of implementation and functionality of the components.

Easy to use and to integrate with our software.

Easy to use, look like the BDE. Several database engine supported.

You can make an Android app that connects direct to a Mssql database over the internet. Maybe you will do REST services later, but quickly make an awesome app.

In general, I rate it positively and as a manufacturer because its price is slightly below the average market and its overall quality is higher than its counterparts.

It is called Universal Data Access Components due to the large number of providers which is both a good thing and a bad thing.

There is no Excel-Component in unidac so I have to use TMS-Software for that purpose.

It has greatly reduced the effort to market for our products while also saving money by not needing to purchase Delphi Enterprise, Professional is enough thanks to UniDAC.

Another great feature is that there are no dlls that have to be distributed with an application.

It allows it to work in integration with different databases and makes your life easier in general. I saw a more performance increase than I expected, so I plan to use this software for a long time.

Simple, easy to use and performant. A very good product for multi SGBDR access.

Easy to use, configuration was easier than thought.

Problem with datetime2 field type in MSSQL, it should have automatic conversion to TDateTime. Problem with setting NULL values in INSERT or UPDATE query with params.

The negative for our company is that we only use a few providers regularly so the cost can feel burdensome, most notably when the CRM connectors and such were added a few years back.

Parameters and options on ServerConnection and providers are difficult to understand.

I have small problems with direct mode to connect with oracle DB.

Using UniDac makes writing multi-user  database applications , across a range of databases, quick and easy without sacrificing performance or usability.

I like the simplicity of confusing access to ODBC database. In particular I use it with the OS/400 ODBC on an iSeries Access system (previously AS/400) and it works fine and quickly.

In stable versions my experience it is good and let me connect to Oracle and Firebird with one component set, containing the features I need.

The only feature i miss at Universal Data Access Components is a provider for Paradox-Tables.

Good component set for multiple database connection.

The best component for data access for Delphi.

Easy to use, fully functional, relatively inexpensive.

The componenten ussing is very easy. You have free choise of database  like as slq,mysql,access and variable change.

More documentation about the impact of differents options with differents SGBDR. For a non-specialist of a particular version of SGBR, it is quite difficult to choose the right option.

Documentation is good, and the ability to flip between database platforms by changing connectors is like magic. On the odd occasion I have needed support, the response has been helpful and timely.

Ease of use and reliability in operation. Haven't encountered any problems so far.

This product is easy to use, integrates well with my applications, simplifies code writing and speeds it up.
