Sequel Pro and Ace are much simpler but they have dangerous defaults such as writing updates without confirmation.

SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) developers should take a look at DBeaver to see how a real management studio application should be. In DBeaver you can tell that the developers really think about the way DBAs and database developers use database management tools. With SSMS, …

DBeaver is more user-friendly than the other tools I have used. But security-wise, I don't trust it as much as other tools.

MySQL workbench from MySQL only supports MySQL databases and it only provides basic functionality. On top of that, the user experience could be quite confusing for first-time users. SSMS from SQL server doesn't support inline editing nicely. The view for inline editing and view …

Chose DBeaver
dbForge Studio has a more intuitive UI for die-hard Windows users. It's also easier to use sorting and filtering in their grids. However, that one lacked the script generation and schema editing tools our development team needed to use on an almost daily basis.

Great tool for developers to use to dive into their databases. Not so great if you are a die-hard Windows user with expectations of a SQL Management studio replacement. This is the less suited tool for people looking to just view and edit data. If you need to generate any scripts or import and export data, this is the tool to use.

Return on Investment
  • Positive Ability to manage DBeaver and query ad-hoc quickly
  • By having the queries saved it has saved developer time and thereby increased the ROI on the investment on the tool
  • This has made firefighting quicker and freed up resources for more development work.
