"Extremely powerful multi-platform db client"

5/5

What do you like best about DbVisualizer?

Spanning many years as a consultant at many different client sites, I have been able to connect to all different database types (DB2, Oracle, MySQL, SqlServer, etc) using DbVisualizer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?

From a functionality standpoint, I have no dislikes. The only dislike I can think of is from the licensing standpoint of not having the option to purchase a lifetime license. I don't like having to renew/upgrade my license every major release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DbVisualizer:

Each database provider (Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, etc) has its own client, but each of them is biased toward their own database (and most will only let you connect to their type of database). If you're looking for a mature, feature-rich, agnostic database client, you should definitely consider DbVisualizer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have used DbVisualizer to connect to- and query multiple database types. I especially like the ability to visually inspect the database structure (table/view relationships in a hierarchical or orthogonal display). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid interface for sql and database management"

2.5/5

What do you like best about DbVisualizer?

The interface for directly editing content of rows to avoid needing to write lengthy SQL is nice. As is the ability to use menus to modify tables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?

Somehow it got worse after updating. Some abilities were lost and things were moved around in ways that made them hard to find. I haven't updated since for fear of losing more... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thanks for your review. You say: "Some abilities were lost and things were moved around".

Can you please clarify which version you are now using and the one you upgraded from? Would also be great if you can list what features has been removed and those that has moved in the tool. We don't remove functionality and very carefully change the user interface. Perhaps you have been using the licensed and unlicensed versions of DbVisualizer which may explain the differences.

"DBVisualizer is the bomb"

5/5

What do you like best about DbVisualizer?

"Average SQL software"

2.5/5

What do you like best about DbVisualizer?

We use this software because it is cheap and good enough I suppose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?

The worst thing is they took away the error checking feature where it highlights the line and location of the SQL error. It was available in 9.5 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A swiss army knife DB tool"

4/5

What do you like best about DbVisualizer?

DB Visualizer has easy setup and while there's a learning curve, I've found it friendlier than some other tools that have limited capability to a single db type. The fact that it can access so many types in one interface with a common toolset/interface is very handy; the upfront learning curve is negated a bit by not having to learn several other apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?

A very seldom crash here and there. I can leave it up for days and sometimes weeks, revisiting every day or so for my needs, and it's steadfast. Some things seem slower than native tools, like pulling up a list of Views, but the rest seems as snappy. Depends on the connection to the database, of course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DbVisualizer:

Trial it, you'll be hooked like I was. Their support is quick to respond, and the product is updated frequently, at least many times per year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Saves time by learning one app instead of several. Gives an easy common interface for all your db needs, saving time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
