"One of the best universal SQL clients"
4/5
What do you like best about DbVisualizer?

DbViz covers most of the modern databases. It's a very configurable and powerable tool. It keeps the editing history. Customer support is responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?

The history search is lacking. There is no option to choose NO time zone for results, which make it very inconvenient in some cases. It's definitely not intuitive and easy to use. The favorites is very lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"DbVisualizer became our IDE of choice"
5/5
What do you like best about DbVisualizer?

It's easy to set up a connection and has good exporting functionality. I like how you have multiple tabs and can run multiple queries simultaneously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?

To unlock the true power you have to purchase the premium version (which is fine and most likely by design). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The swiss army knife of database management"
5/5
What do you like best about DbVisualizer?

I have been using DBVisualizer for years to interact with a variety of database systems. The ability to rapidly setup connections to multiple database vendors is invalvuable in complex data management environments. You can rapidly setup a conenction across your development environments and define clear indicatiors of your prodcution enviroments to provide that extra layer of assurance on late night troubleshooting calls.

I ahven't found a popular database platform yet that I couldn't query, manage and maintian utilizing DBVisualizer. As a Java based solution is highly portable across systems and operates consistently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?

There are no real downsides to using DBVisualizer. You will need a JRE or use the bundled environment. Liek many solutiosn today, it is subscription-based, but agian this is the common model across vendors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Extremely helpful in a multi-platform database environment"
5/5
What do you like best about DbVisualizer?

I can easily run queries and relationship lookups in Oracle and MSSQL Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?

Fine tuned DB objects (Functions, triggers, Stored Procedures) are to be desired. I have to use native software like SQL Developer to create/modify Oracle objects. We use a very old version of Oracle (10g) so its likely compatibility with the i9 driver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very good overall"
4.5/5
What do you like best about DbVisualizer?

What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?

I wish it had a way to view raw parquet files (a parquet viewer) that can also vie the meta data (e.g. by using PyArrow) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Program of the Decade"
5/5
What do you like best about DbVisualizer?

The functionality is second to none, dark mode is on point and having the ability to search within result sets saves time and resources. When I think about which tool to use, DvVisualizer is a must. The price point is reasonable, and licensing is excellent. Another feature I enjoy is when you close the program; it keeps it in memory so you don't lose your spot if you accidentally close it or the computer restarts unexpectedly. I always recommend this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?

When I double-click on tabs, Databases, Favorites, or Scripts, it moves it to the left side and collapses the panel. But I always have to double-click again if I need to put it in view or collapse it. Can you update that so I only click once to view the collapsed panel, and after I click away, it auto-collapses to the vertical position on the left side? -- I would also like improved options for auto-formatting poorly written SQL, maybe some A.I. extension that could help make SQL readable and to best practices; I don't mean have it write SQL for you because we have proprietary sources but a more improved SQL Formatter.

"it's just a very clear and fast software"
5/5
What do you like best about DbVisualizer?

it's just a very clear and fast software, easy to work with, very easy to learn Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?

The Export Function is quite bad, in the Standard Setting in Europe you will always create Garbage ( "." and "," interchanged) so for every single Export you need to make some Settings and you can't save them. I have done this now many Thausend Times in 9 Years of working with DB Vis. I wish to have the Option to save my Settings and a 1-Click Solution for an Export. (as i am always using the same Settings) In very many Cases the Export is too big and i can't export it, then i have to find a Solution how to split my data into several Parts.

Response from Meryem O of DbVisualizer

We're sorry to hear that you have had a bad experience with our software. There is an option to save current settings as default in the Export Table dialog, which, if I understand you correctly, could solve your problem. Please see our User Guide for more details:

We always aim to improve, and your feedback is essential. If you still have issues, please reach out to our support team via the in-app help menu or at support@dbvis.com, so they can better understand how you think the software can be improved.
