"Db Visualizer, The Essential Tool To Work In Multiple Database Environments"

5/5

What do you like best about DbVisualizer?

The ability to connect to multiple database types, multiple database connections per database, it's flexibility and ease of use, and access to all database components in an intuitive manner. When support is required, which is seldom, quick and meaningful responses are received. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?

Sometimes preferences are lost and need to be re-entered. Otherwise, I would like to see an ability to click on an error and see where that error is in the script being run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DbVisualizer solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am administering MySQL and SQL Server databases in multiple environments (development, staging, and production). Defining and duplicating connections is easy and can be grouped into folders for a clear organization of which one I am working with. Running SQL queries and commands is easy. Importing and exporting is a snap. The tool has a set of other tools to make working with databases extremely easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It works like a charm"

5/5

What do you like best about DbVisualizer?

It has a nice and intuitive interface that allows me to work with different database servers using common commands. For example, if you need to export a table, you can use the same graphical interface or the same command line, (@export) whatever you are working with Oracle, MS SQL Server, MySQL or MariaDB.

It is a reliable and user-friendly tool for the SQL and PL/SQL - T-SQL developer, and also for the DBA. At least, It includes common administration features for the engines I just mentioned, so, again, I only need one interface for doing my job whatever engine I'm working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?

Although it includes a lot of administration features, it misses some, and so I need to perform those tasks on the tool developed by the database manufacturer. I'm referring to a graphical interface, because DBVisualizer allows you to execute any SQL script, and include variables that allow you to automatize those repetitive tasks. And you don't have to worry if the variables are defined with "&", "$" or ":", because you can also use the DBVisualizer syntax for variables, that works for all engines and is very flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DbVisualizer:

Install and try it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DbVisualizer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Since I teach and use 3 database engines, it is the perfect tool to switch among them. I use it for SQL, PL-SQL and T-SQL development. I also use it in my common DBA tasks, either through graphical interface or by SQL script. It is reliable and I trust in its results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best SQL clients: efficient, reliable and user friendly"

5/5

What do you like best about DbVisualizer?

Developed in Java, which makes it very easy to install and run on different OSs, as well as customize the configuration for your best fit. Supports a wide range of SQL based databases, via JDBC drivers, including all major ones: Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgresSQL, etc.

Great export options for your data and database schema, as well as support for BLOB nd CLOB.

Explain Plan works really well and provides very useful information when you need to to analyze and tune up your queries.

Here is a link with detailed list of all features for the free and pro versions:

https://www.dbvis.com/features/feature-list/ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?

Personally, I have an issue with how the the Find/Search was designed and implemented. I don't find it intuitive and continue to have trouble searching in the SQL Commander tab among multiple queries.

The license pricing is another issue. This tool is probably one of the more expensive on the market, but luckily discounts are offered for non-profit and educational organizations like ours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DbVisualizer solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use DbVisualizer for SQL analysis and development, including imports and exports.

The most important benefit is the ability to have one tool able to access our different databases and uniformly display the schema structures. The tool provides very easy access to all schema objects and the ability to view the DDL and to review update stored procedures, functions, views, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The DBA's Swiss Army Knife"

5/5

What do you like best about DbVisualizer?

DbVis has an excellent table/query browser with advanced display, export, filtering capability, a powerful table editor, great transaction control, great import capabilities, and tools to navigate physical database structure. One can "sling" data between databases of varying types with ease, even LARGE data sets, if necessary. It's not an ETL tool. It is a practical DBA's Swiss Army knife. The DBA functionality per-database vendor is handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?

SQL Editor tab management is a bit clunky. I would love to be able to create "throw-away" SQL Editor tabs easily. So if I close DbVis I don't want to be prompted about saving them, and I don't want them restored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DbVisualizer:

If you dig into Oracle, Postgres, SQL Server, DB2, MySQL, and other databases regularly, this tool is for you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DbVisualizer solving and how is that benefiting you?

DbVis is critical for daily DBA troubleshooting. As a DBA for many clients on 5 different database vendors, Kettle River relies on DbVisualizer to "surf" databases to troubleshoot and repair problems. Data can be "slurped" between tables, hosts, and completely different vendors with ease. Also has some very simple to use graphing powers that can quickly help a client visualize their issues.

"For me the most intuitive database tool around"

5/5

What do you like best about DbVisualizer?

The UI is simple, yet everything you need is there or can be found with little effort. All connections can be structured well and configured to what I need and how I like it. Looking through databases, peeking around or quickly changing a value is just straight forward. Open SQL tabs with queries stay around even if you don't save them. For me as a middle ware developer the balance of depth into databases and ease of use is just perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?

I think the navigation and double clicking, clicking on icons or the labels of those icons might not always be obvious. I got used to them but finding these options may puzzle you sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Make connections to different database drivers with DbVisualizer"

4.5/5

What do you like best about DbVisualizer?

DbVisualizer is a tool that supports different database drivers such as MySQL, Oracle, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and that is one of its advantages. One of its advantages is that it has a totally free license where you can carry out most important operations in a database. It is possible to export databases to different files (.sql, xml, html, csv, among others). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?

I have never had a problem when I find myself using DbVisualizer. The only thing I dislike is that the software is only in English and cannot be translated into other languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DbVisualizer:

DbVisualizer is attractive, complete and free software. Of course I would recommend it, since it is not very common to find programs as good as this one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DbVisualizer solving and how is that benefiting you?

This software is very useful to me for the synchronization between data and schemas of our organization's databases. Also, I can manipulate different database drivers simultaneously. Another advantage that DbVisualizer gives me is that I can export databases to different types of files, so that it is not difficult to import data into other programs.

"Great at what it's good at, clunky where it's not"

4/5

What do you like best about DbVisualizer?

The wizard is awesome, and it takes no time at all to set up ssh tunnels and connect to databases. The side bar navigator is fast and easy to use. The commit and rollback buttons are right where you'd expect and it is all really smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?

The auto complete feature is really the only problem I have with it. Turning on auto display is terrible as it is always in the way, seeing a show delay is even worse because it adds things to the query you weren't even expecting. I finally just started using the hot keys to call it and that is the best so far, but there is room for improvement for sure Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
