If you previously had problems with importing large database, DbVisualizer will solve this problem **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jesus A. | Full Stack Developer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 16, 2020 **What do you like best about DbVisualizer?** DbVisualizer is a tool created in order to be able to perform operations on your databases through an easy-to-use GUI. The features that I like the most are: - It is possible to create backup copies. - You can import and export databases regardless of the size or execution time they entail. - It has an easy to learn GUI to use. - You can have multiple connections simultaneously, even with different types of databases. - It has a completely free version. **What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?** Although the tool offers a totally free version, the professional subscription has a really high cost that is also paid individually per user. **Recommendations to others considering DbVisualizer:** I would like to recommend this tool to students and professionals who frequently manage databases because it is very easy to learn to use. It is possible to create databases and execute queries easily. **What problems is DbVisualizer solving and how is that benefiting you?** DbVisualizer has helped me to synchronize the schemas of all the databases of my company. The biggest problem that helped me solve this software is that I managed to import a database of more than 3 GB, which in the database manager of the company's hosting service was failing due to exceeding the execution time. ### 3.

Essential database tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 27, 2020 **What do you like best about DbVisualizer?** Ease of use, consistent interface across DBMS's, useful functionality, great user interface. **What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?** I am a fan of DbVisualizer, and have recommended it within my shop often. No dislikes that I have run into. **What problems is DbVisualizer solving and how is that benefiting you?** One of the biggest challenges I've conquered -- ignoring all the day-to-day churn that DbVisualizer gets involved in -- was to create a method of running 50-70 queries against 10 different database instances on a weekly basis with different filters each execution. I tried several different products -- no, make that "I tried a whole bunch of different products" -- and found that DbVisualizer was the only one that satisfied all the needs of that project. Instead of my going insane trying to manage the query executions and routing the output to the correct locations and spending a long time doing so, after a day of learning the DbVisualizer scripting and coding the actual logic, it took about 15 minutes to run all the queries for all the instances, with output routed to the proper file sharing destinations. ### 5.

And the db connection information panes are very useful as a convenient display when we are reproducing those connections on ODBC configurations. **What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?** There are no "gotchas" in this software. A couple of additional features would be helpful, like default naming of new SQL Commander files, or the ability to emulate MS SSIS keystrokes. **Recommendations to others considering DbVisualizer:** I highly recommend this software and the support behind it. Definitely worth the cost of the professional license. **What problems is DbVisualizer solving and how is that benefiting you?** Access to a cloud db.

In addition, it has a free version that has excellent utilities. **What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?** I think the interface is not very modern, so that non-advanced users can be difficult to learn how to use it. On the other hand, the licensing of the full version is very expensive. **Recommendations to others considering DbVisualizer:** This tool offers easy installation and configuration. It allows to see tables, views and procedures. Surely it will be more helpful to manage the database from this software. **What problems is DbVisualizer solving and how is that benefiting you?** DbVisualizer allows us to access our Oracle database, especially if we want to modify an SQL statement, since it really is difficult to examine the data through the administrator. ### 40. DbVisualizer is a great option for managing database connections. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 05, 2019 **What do you like best about DbVisualizer?** DbVisualizer supports drivers for almost all major database systems, allowing you to connect to everything you need in one application. It supports advanced features like SSH tunneling, private keys, and basic scripting. It allows you to export data in a wide variety of formats as well. **What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?** A few of the default drivers have bugs. For example, the MariaDB driver often runs queries very slowly. Switching to the MySQL driver for the same connection works, but we only found this through trial and error. **Recommendations to others considering DbVisualizer:** If you are going to deploy DbVisualizer across a large organization, consider creating a standard configuration profile and exporting it for broader use. Individual users would then just have to add their credentials without needing to configure each database connection individually. Also, consider locking down database access to a specific server, and then requiring users to connect via SSH tunneling. This adds an additional layer of security that's easy to manage within the application. **What problems is DbVisualizer solving and how is that benefiting you?** DbVisualizer allows us to connect to all our company's databases from one application. This helps make our work more efficient, and makes it easier to train new employees as well. ### 41. Does the job but not enjoyable to use **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Erin M. | Product Analyst, Computer Games, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 21, 2019 **What do you like best about DbVisualizer?** You can connect to multiple databases and easily move between querying any of them. **What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?** It's really hard to do basic text editing in the software. For example, double clicking a word usually in most software would highlight it, so that you can easily copy, paste, delete etc. In DBVis when you double click you end up with half of the word highlighted, so you end up making mistakes. It sounds like a small thing but it's something I want to do so frequently that it really impacts my work. **What problems is DbVisualizer solving and how is that benefiting you?** Querying databases, analysing data ### 42. DbVisualizer is software to make life easier for beginners **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ismael M. | Analista de sistemas, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 11, 2019 **What do you like best about DbVisualizer?** DbVisualizer has good tools for object management and search. It works with the most used databases that are MySQL and PostgreSQL, and also has a profile for each type. I also like that it allows me to configure any JDBC option. In addition, it has a toolbar that allows me to save all the shortcuts to the databases I use frequently. **What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?** The graphics of references are deficient, because although a graphic can be generated based on the references between the tables, the representation is confusing and can not be exported. **Recommendations to others considering DbVisualizer:** DBVisualizer is a stable and complete program. It allows you to manage several databases at once, regardless of whether it is MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite or others. Its integration tools are fascinating and since it is a Java-based project, it allows integrations in the cloud. **What problems is DbVisualizer solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have used DbVisualizer to manage MySQL databases that have an inventory of the organization's IP and MAC addresses to perform queries almost every day. It is not much easier to make queries through this software, than to code in the Windows command prompt. ### 43. Great Tool for basic DB access **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2019 **What do you like best about DbVisualizer?** DBvis is great as a first-time tool for accessing data. You can easily: 1) See the layout of a given Database, and query it 2) Setup multiple DBs using different SQL dialects 3) See and export results **What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?** DBvis lacks more advanced functionality. Things like 1) Searching a project for files/references 2) Automatically filling in possible columns from indexed tables **Recommendations to others considering DbVisualizer:** DBvis is great for users to get started with, and in particular good for a user to learn about your DB's data structure. When you want to start working on more in-depth projects in a development environment DBviz lacks features of other major SQL IDEs; such as being able to search the project easily within the app. **What problems is DbVisualizer solving and how is that benefiting you?** DBvis is great for a first time user to understand and access your Database, and great for hopping in to get a quick answer. ### 44. Powerful tool to connect most of the Database with inbuilt drivers **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Yuvanesh Kumar S. | BI Architect Team Lead, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2019 **What do you like best about DbVisualizer?** Simple GUI to create query tab, execute and manage results and history. There are multiple options to fetch the resulting data and also creating instant DML statements from result dataset **What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?** There is no option like "Linked Server" to connect 2 DB servers in 1 query window to create SQL for validation purpose **Recommendations to others considering DbVisualizer:** None **What problems is DbVisualizer solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating complex queries and extracting the output for validation purpose ### 45. Does the job **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2019 **What do you like best about DbVisualizer?** DB visualizer has a very simple and effective UI. It does exactly what you want without trying to be too fancy or too confusing, which I appreciate. **What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?** Doing a workflow query. This might be possible but not obvious when first opening **What problems is DbVisualizer solving and how is that benefiting you?** Data manipulation / table creation/ table or schema investigation. Extremely efficient and intuitive ### 46. Good Database Client **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Atanu R. | Lead Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 10, 2019 **What do you like best about DbVisualizer?** Can connect to any database like Oracle, DB2 easily. Personally I have connected to Oracle and DB2 . Can easily copy and paste object names which most of the database clients do not provide. This is supported by Windows, Linux and Mac OS. I have used in Linux and Windows. **What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?** As a database client I don't see any disadvantages of this software. In the free version we face some basic limitations like - cannot run multiple SQL statement at a time, cannot execute SQL script etc. Licensing cost for the priced version is bit higher. **Recommendations to others considering DbVisualizer:** If you are looking for a one stop shop database client for all database types, go ahead and get DBVisualizer, it is probably the best database client to meet all your need. **What problems is DbVisualizer solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have used this for connecting my IBM BPM product databases (DB2) for executing Day to day database queries. Easy interface for the beginners as well, does not need much knowledge to use this software. Making database connection is wizard bases which provides step by step guide to connect to a new database. ### 47. Excellent database **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Matteo T. | Buon prodotto, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 20, 2019 **What do you like best about DbVisualizer?** It is a versatile product. It adapts to all databases. **What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?** Nothing. I find it very good to use and I never have sudden crashes. **What problems is DbVisualizer solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have never had any problems. It is an exceptional product. ### 48. Very versatile database management tool **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Utilities | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 03, 2019 **What do you like best about DbVisualizer?** Can be run on various operating systems and most databases **What do you dislike about DbVisualizer?** Obviously licensing is necessary for pro use **What problems is DbVisualizer solving and how is that benefiting you?** Database management and analysis ### 49. Extremely powerful multi-platform db client **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** James T. | Senior Consultant, Information Technology and Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 28, 2017 **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. **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. **Recommendations to others considering DbVisualizer:** Each database provider (Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, etc) has its own client, but each of them is biased toward their own database (and most will only let you connect to their type of database). If you're looking for a mature, feature-rich, agnostic database client, you should definitely consider DbVisualizer. **What problems is DbVisualizer solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have used DbVisualizer to connect to- and query multiple database types. I especially like the ability to visually inspect the database structure (table/view relationships in a hierarchical or orthogonal display). ### 50. Solid interface for sql and database management **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2018 **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. **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... **What problems is DbVisualizer solving and how is that benefiting you?** Managing several databases with queries and updates. Its made doing that easier and reduced the amount of code I've had to actually write/save and maintain. **Official Response from Roger Bjärevall:** > 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 Discussions - [What is the best option to make a backup, for example, of an Oracle database and restore it on another host?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/32823-cual-es-la-mejor-opcion-para-hacer-un-backup-por-ejemplo-de-una-base-de-datos-oracle-y-restaurarla-en-otro-host) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [How does DbVisualizer connect to database?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-does-dbvisualizer-connect-to-database) - 1 comment - [Is DbVisualizer open source?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-dbvisualizer-open-source) - 1 comment - [What is DbVisualizer used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-dbvisualizer-used-for) - 2 comments - [View DbVisualizer pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/dbvisualizer/reviews?page=5&qs=pros-and-cons§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-17+08%3A46%3A35+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=e662382c-ecc2-42aa-b83c-7ef2c55f16e8&secure%5Btoken%5D=5d31884021143879f0dadcc751e507eca087923d1622ce25ad06094f08e0152c&format=llm_user) ## DbVisualizer Integrations - [GitLab](https://www.g2.com/products/gitlab/reviews) - [Oracle Database](https://www.g2.com/products/oracle-database/reviews) - [PostgreSQL](https://www.g2.com/products/postgresql/reviews) - [Tableau](https://www.g2.com/products/tableau/reviews) ## DbVisualizer Features **Management** - Data dictionary - Data Replication - Query Language - Performance Analysis **Functionality** - Automation - Change validation - Version control **Integration - SQL Integrated Development Environments (IDE)** - Running Queries - Integration - Debugging - Code Completion **Maintenance** - Data Migration - Backup and Recovery - Multi-User Environment **Management** - Visibility - Rollbacks - Post-deployment validation **Management - SQL Integrated Development Environments (IDE)** - SQL Scripting - Read & Write **Security** - Data Encryption - User Access Control ## Top DbVisualizer Alternatives - [DBeaver](https://www.g2.com/products/dbeaver/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (164 reviews) - [Navicat Premium](https://www.g2.com/products/navicat-premium/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (58 reviews) - [Toad For Oracle](https://www.g2.com/products/quest-software-toad-for-oracle/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (281 reviews)
