Consolidates tools and streamlines cross-platform database work
There is not a lot that I have to complain about with DbVisualizer. Over the years, as I have mentioned, they have continued to enhance the interface and the databases that are supported, but I do not think there is a lot of room for improvement. Most improvements will come from changes in the marketplace, such as new database features that need to be interacted with or perhaps more support for new data types and databases that are going to be supporting AI. Some of that, as we have seen thus far, is not necessarily the game changer that we would have thought. Integrating a co-pilot for SQL queries would be an interesting feature in the future.

Cloud database has transformed client demos and supports flexible unstructured data workflows
The best feature I would say is that there is free storage, which any NoSQL database provides, such as MongoDB Atlas. Apart from that, there is a very good MongoDB Atlas UI where we can see the cluster, databases, and all these features. When we are using it, the transactions go for real-time processing. These are the features that it offers us, and the connection is very good to any framework we are using in the backend. MongoDB Atlas is our primary database, and we prefer this because of the reliability of MongoDB Atlas. The UI is very good for Atlas, and the non-structured database is advantageous because we do not have required schema restrictions. The cluster management and the database handling of Atlas are very good. By using the UI, we can manage this efficiently, and these are the features on MongoDB Atlas that give us what we need.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Timed SQL execution and real-time graphs are the killer features."
"For over 10 years I have been a frequent DbVisualizer user, it is very comfortable and has some features not found in any other SQL tool."
"Actions like exporting grids to Excel or other tools is a very easy task."
"Timed queries that add their result to the result grid for every execution are helpful."
"DbVisualizer is invaluable to me because it allows me to work from enterprise database systems like Oracle to more emerging database providers like CockroachDB, and can scale to anything up or down from SQLite or standard PostgreSQL."
"MongoDB Atlas is very easy to use and user-friendly, and you get what you're paying for."
"The product is user-friendly."
"The solution has a very intuitive user interface."
"It is a great product."
"It enables us to get work done quickly and get to our data."
"For security reasons, I prefer MongoDB Atlas. It supports role-based access control, so you have an entity for each individual."
"In my previous company, the product allowed us to build a database in a highly regulated environment with the ability to get distributed storage, and we used MongoDB as a distributed storage to set up this environment for a critical business application with millions of dollars."
"The speed of it is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"One thing I would like to see changed is having the JDBC drivers in a fixed location outside of the application package."
"Sometimes, I feel that the startup time takes a bit more time than needed."
"The import and export process needs improvement, i.e., getting in and out. Moving data from other databases into MongoDB, along with indexing, was challenging."
"Searching and browsing through the collection must be made easier."
"The cost needs improvement. The product is good, but the cost that we paid for it is expensive, so it wasn't that valuable."
"They could explore ways to facilitate deploying MongoDB containers within the platform."
"The installation was straightforward except for the network hardware because it was a little complicated to make the connection with our VPC on AWS."
"The solution is expensive overall."
"When I edit a document from a document, a lot of clicking is involved, like changing data type manually from a drop-down. It would be super nice if I could just edit the document in a JSON format. The JSON-based document editor should have a multi-language feature. Also, it would be great if there was a connect option from Google Looker Studio."
"The product's file storage documentation needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A license with a few years of support is a good and valuable option."
"The pricing for DbVisualizer is fair."
"We pay for a license."
"MongoDB Atlas is more cost-effective than Amazon DocumentDB. It also has a pay-as-you-go pricing model. Apart from the standard licensing cost, you must also pay to get MongoDB Atlas technical support, which is expensive."
"We pay for the license on a monthly basis. It's not cheap or expensive. For smaller companies, it's definitely expensive."
"It is an open-source platform."
"In my previous company, the product allowed use to build a database in a highly regulated environment with the ability to get distributed storage. We used MongoDB as a distributed storage to set up this environment for a critical business application with millions of dollars."
"I have seen the cost, and it was pretty cheap."
"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace was very good."
"The solution is expensive overall. It does not require a license but if you want the support then you will need to purchase the license. They use a pay-as-you-go model and you are able to receive some discounts by making longer usage commitments."
