DBVis for Analysts
Reviewed on 16/02/2022
I've had a great experience using this product. We continue to use it, even after 4 years.
I've had a great experience using this product. We continue to use it, even after 4 years.
Pros
I think the software is very easy to install and get going quickly. I helped choose the product for my team and picked it over many others, even the free ones! It works great for querying and updating data.
Cons
The free version is good but lacks a ton of power. You have to upgrade to the pro version to get most of the functionality that an analyst team needs.

Overall, the combination of ease of use, extensive features, and broad compatibility makes DbVisualizer a strong tool for database management.
Pros
What I appreciate most about DbVisualizer is its user-friendly interface coupled with powerful features that cater to both novice and advanced users.
Cons
Unlike some modern database tools, DbVisualizer doesn’t have built-in collaboration features. For teams working on the same database or queries, collaboration typically has to be managed outside of the tool.While DbVisualizer generally performs well, it can become sluggish when working with extremely large databases or datasets.

DBVis a trusted application

Pros
DBVis is easy to use. I use it to write queries and export reports. I love being able to just click a button and have results in a format that I can share with stake holders.
Cons
Wish it had more mongo support. We are moving in the nosql realm more and more and want an easy one stop app to do it all.

I've been a user for more than a decade, and can't imagine life without DBVisualizer. It not only saves me time, it helps protect the data from any accidental actions.

The feature set is remarkable, and an excellent value. Especially useful and robust are the data import/export features and the data and database structure editing tools.
Cons
In many years I have not had any problems or complaints.

One tool to rule all database connections!
Reviewed on 04/04/2024
Pros
I have been using DbVisualizer for the past 5 years and I have been quite accustomed with it so much that I do not look elsewhere. Whenever I change companies, I immediately recommend using this tools to others. Easy to use and has a lot of capabilities a database user needs
Cons
There can be minor issues when upgrade happens. Once after upgrade, all my connections were lost, and there were no backups found. I had to recreate them from scratch again. As a learning, I do upgrade often, and when I do, I take a backup of all the connections first.

Overall great, reason why I even chose to get a pro license. Projects like dbvisualizer must be supported for them to improve.
Pros
It does everything one would expect from a database client but better. The number of supported database types is incredible; the new ui twicks and the memory improvement are great.
Cons
Limited data model design tools; the interface still requires a long onboarding phase.

DBVisualizer is amazing! Simple to use and very quick
Reviewed on 04/06/2023
Pros
Ease of use, quick installation, ability to connect with so many databases and ability to play around with query results.
Cons
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!

I have been using DbVisualizer for over 10 years, keeping up with updates along the way. I have I tried out most of the similar universal database client tools, but nothing compares with DbVisualizer.
Pros

Cons
One feature I would like to see added is the ability to run an external shell command whenever I connect or disconnect to a database.

One of my "Must Have" Tools
Reviewed on 21/09/2020
Pros
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.
Cons
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.

I've been using DbVisualiser for many years and I've never felt the need to consider another tool for my database needs. I use this professionally as wellas for my hobby projects and DbVisualizer is light enough to be used at home and strong enough to handle extensive reports that I do at work (and export them to excel )
Over the 10+ years I've contacted support and have always had a prompt response and very qualified help.
Pros
I use this toll with everything from H2 embedded databses to Oracle production servers and the thing I like most is how I'm given the best support for all of these databaseses/vendors .
Cons
Whenever I have run into "limitations" in this product I immediatly consider if the thing I'm trying to do is a "good" way of doing things or if there is another way that will work with the tool and also be maintainable.
(having a 30000+ lines of pl/sql-script might not be the best way to do things anyway)

Overall...great experience. Really like working with DbVis!
Pros
Really like the ease of use. It's reliable, dependable and just a workhorse to query your database. Like the fact that the updates are easy to install. When I have a question and/or a problem that needs resolution, there are lots of resources available to help.
Cons
I did have a problem once that was especially challenging and difficult for me to bring to resolution, but eventually I was able to solve it. An upgrade stalled midway through that just would not successfully complete the installation process. Customer service was able to help me identify that the install was hungup and expecting the latest version of other software on my laptop. Once that was updated the install process completed successfully.
