"Extremely powerful multi-platform db client"
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.

"Solid interface for sql and database management"
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.

Response from Roger Bjärevall of DbVisualizer

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"
What do you like best about DbVisualizer?

The management of your sql queries is awesome. This program is so much easier than Visual Studios. You can load all your sql's from a folder and have them to copy and paste into new queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?

No export to Excel button. We always export to Excel and this version does not have a button for it. I hear through the grape vine that it is coming though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Average SQL software"
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.

Response from Roger Bjärevall of DbVisualizer

Can you please elaborate on the error highlighting claim? We’ve not removed anything in that area.

"A swiss army knife DB tool"
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.

"Software and database systems analyst"
What do you like best about DbVisualizer?

DbVisualizer has a free version that is very full-featured. Capabilities are nearly identical with Oracle SQL Developer. The only feature I found that Developer has the DbVisualizer free doesn't is the ability to highlight a section of SQL code to execute on its own. DbVisualizer allows the programmer to set the number of rows to return. This allows one to run the full query by putting a number higher than the expected full return. The query can be reviewed on screen, then exported to CSV if desired. Developer does this differently, as it has a default 100 row limit. More rows are automatically added as one pages down in the results. An export in Developer runs the full query in the background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?

There is really nothing I dislike. It would be nice if the free version had the highlight a code section to execute, especially since Oracle's SQL Developer has it and is also free, but other than that, no complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Roger Bjärevall of DbVisualizer

Hi Gil, Thanks for the great review. I just want say that both execution of highlighted (current selection), and execute statement at caret position are supported in DbVisualizer Free (since 9.2.x).
