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.

Suggestions to help HCLTech Informix make a more positive impact for my organization are not applicable. The advice I would give to others looking into using HCLTech Informix is not applicable. The vendor can contact me if they have any questions or comments about my review. I found this interview acceptable and I am not interested in any changes for the future. I gave this review a rating of 9.

Quotes from Members

"Timed SQL execution and real-time graphs are the killer features."
"Actions like exporting grids to Excel or other tools is a very easy task."

"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."
"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."
"The best features HCLTech Informix offers include the ability to combine data and connect systems."
 

Cons

"One thing I would like to see changed is having the JDBC drivers in a fixed location outside of the application package."
