DBeaver Reviews & Product Details

DBeaver is a robust, open-source database client that offers excellent usability for developers and data engineers working with multiple databases. Its greatest asset is the extensive range of features it provides. The tool supports nearly all major databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, and MongoDB, all within a single application. Setting it up is straightforward: installation is easy, establishing connections is fast, and the user interface remains consistent regardless of the database type. Backend developers who work with databases daily will find themselves using DBeaver frequently. Additionally, its free and cross-platform nature is a significant benefit.

The interface often feels heavy and cluttered, particularly for newcomers, which affects the overall user experience and ease of use. When working with very large schemas or complex queries, performance can suffer. Additionally, certain advanced features, such as cloud integrations and enterprise-level security options, are only available in the paid edition. For those using the free version, customer support is primarily community-driven, which might not meet the requirements of enterprise users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DBeaver is super handy when working with multiple databases. It supports a wide range of DB types (like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, etc.), so I don’t need to switch tools. The UI is clean and beginner-friendly, and I really like features like the ER diagram viewer, query auto-complete, and data export options. It makes running and organizing queries much easier, especially when dealing with large datasets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can feel a bit slow or heavy at times, especially when working with large tables or opening multiple tabs. Also, some advanced settings are buried and not very intuitive. The initial setup for some databases can be a bit tricky if you’re new. But overall, once it’s running, it works really well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a great SQL tool that lets you view source data without having to commit to implementing data via etl's. We use a cloud based data source to house our data but I use DBeaver to check and view certain data sources before committing to pulling it all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's really complicated to get certain oracle integrations set up, but once it's complete, you don't have a lot of complexity afterwards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of use through DBeaver's UI. You don't have to write a single SQL query, as you can do everything through the tool's UI with just clicks. I also appreciate the speed of commits to the database and the refreshing of data. It makes filtering through thousands of records quick and efficient. The initial setup was very easy and straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI flow can be smoother, sometimes it feels like using a tool from Windows XP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite part using DBeaver is that I can work with different databases using single tool. The SQL editor is quite powerful and is easy to use with features like auto-completion of queries which saves me a lot of time. The UI is also very neat and clearly understandable.

The only thing that I dislike is how it tend to be slow down when working with very large datasets. There can be occasional UI lag sometimes depending on the database that we are connected to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can Be Resource heavy especially when working with large databases or multiple active connections. By default, DBeaver allows editing of query results in the result grid. While this is convenient for making quick changes, it can be risky when working with live PostgreSQL databases, as accidental edits can affect the actual data. It’s recommended to disable this or use it cautiously in production environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use DBeaver to manage Postgres databases, and I find it quite easy to use, especially for handling different database environments. It's super easy to use and convenient compared to other applications we have. It's also super quick to connect to different databases. The initial setup was very easy.

I'm satisfied with DBeaver. Maybe it can come up with AI features to write better queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are several things which I like about DBeaver. First is its resource utilization, yes, when trying to access a huge database on a low resource maching, many of the database tools in my case failed, however I was able to access those databases with the help of Dbeaver. Secondly,I like that I can manage multiple databases, all at the same place, I primarily use SQLite as well as Postgres and sometimes MySQL as well, and I can access all of those databases at the same place itself. I can also connect to the same DBMS with different databases and make use of multiple databases all at the same time. The database connection is also at the file level, so I can segregate the queries. Also, the most useful feature for me is how I can import SQL Scripts folder in the project menu, this helps me to quickly access pre-written scripts and get started and finished with the repetitive tasks as quickly as possible.

The only thing I dislike, is the time it sometimes takes to query the database, it takes much longer sometimes, where I have to wait for a long time to get the results because the data is just getting queried, apart from this performance aspect, there is nothing much which I dislike about dbeaver.

DBeaver offers a very user-friendly interface with advanced features that saved me a lot of time in validating SQLite database content. I really appreciate how effortlessly this tool allows easy access and management of databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While DBeaver is a great tool overall, it can feel a bit heavy at times, especially when working with large databases. However, this is minor compared to the overall benefits it provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
