DbVisualizer Reviews

Summary: I've been using DbVisualizer since 2008 at work first. When work switched to a different DB IDE which was much inferior, I opted to pay for DbV myself as it makes life much easier for me for my work and personal development.

Positive: Over the years I've had to reach out to support about 5 times. Support has always been very prompt and fulsome in their responses and have helped me get to a resolution quickly.

Negative: Every now and then the app seizes up and I've no choice but to force quit it. Unsure if this is a JDK issue.

Summary: The tool is essential, easy to understand and important for teamwork.

Positive: The software is good and easy to understand.
The tool is essential for our daily work in developing software for handling our databases using SQL queries.

Negative: I cannot judge the disadvantages, because as administrator I only set up the installation and server connections.

Summary: Generally my go to tool for Db interactions.
I recommend the tool since it is not too pricey and a renewal is very cheap.

Positive: I like to use one tool for all my different relational databases. DbVisualizer does that in a good way.

Negative: Out of the box integration with Cassandra is missing.

Summary: Very good.

Positive: The tool is very user friendly.
Working as expected and end use happy with this tool.
The tool features are very easy to understand.

Negative: I could not find anything as of now.

Summary: Overall, a really good tool to in the toolbox. I use it heavily; seldom a day that I don't. Support team is quite responsive, too, if I have problems or suggestions.

Positive: I love table column sorting/filters, the new workspace feature, db specific object handling like Oracle's sequences.

Negative: When I have a lot of tables open, the popup on the right side gets a bit unwieldy. It would be nice to have that as a drag and drop list since dragging the tabs of open tables is difficult when you have 30 tables open and the title is so long (yes, I've customized those).

Summary: I have been using this application for years. The latest update is very usable and feature rich. It is very simple to setup and get going.

Positive: * Straight forward and intuitive interface
* Great features for the price
* Love the SQL Formatting
* SQL History is very handy
* Edit in place (table editing)
* Try before you buy

Negative: There really isn't anything I have found yet that I don't like. I would like to see a AI able to help me build more complicated queries.

Summary: DBVisualizer has been a great solution for my database access needs. It’s easy to use and doesn’t overwhelm you with complicated features, but it still has everything you need to get the job done. I love how straightforward the interface is—it makes exploring data so much simpler. Even for someone who isn’t a database expert, this tool feels approachable and reliable. Highly recommended for its ease of use and powerful functionality!

Summary: This software is essential for anyone who works with database data. Simple, fast and straightforward.

Summary: One of the best software products I've ever used.

I used to use the product nearly every day. In my current role I do not do as much SQL but it is still my go-to tool. I have purchased it for every team that I have had.

Positive: I have used DbVisualizer for many years and several other similar products both commercial and open source. I have consistently found DbVisualizer to be head and shoulders above any of the alternatives. I have especially appreciated that there is a cli tool as well as an excellent IDE experience. I have written several automated scripts with the cli for production workloads. The price is quite reasonable for the value.

Negative: It has been rock solid for several years. I cannot claim there are really any "cons" per se. Years ago it would occasionally crash but I haven't experienced that in some time. The price has increased but not terribly.

Negative: There is a learning curve involved on using it in the beginning, but you will appreciate it.
