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.

Developers have benefited from flexibility and performance but pricing has needed further attention
I am only familiar with databases and applications. I am from the development team and I am a user of database and cloud but I don't know the infrastructure. As a user, I deal with the Oracle Database. I know the organization has a license with the product. We don't utilize real-time analytics with MongoDB Atlas. I don't use MongoDB Atlas directly, so I don't know how it can be improved. I would place MongoDB Atlas at a medium level. I would rate it at a six or seven. I believe MongoDB Atlas can improve a little. My overall review rating for this product is six out of ten.

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."
"Timed queries that add their result to the result grid for every execution are helpful."
"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."
"Actions like exporting grids to Excel or other tools is a very easy task."
"It is nice because our developers create tables whenever they need to sync data."
"Its most valuable features are high availability and zero maintenance."
"MongoDB Atlas is very easy to use and user-friendly, and you get what you're paying for."
"MongoDB Atlas was explicitly designed to support IoT applications. Many databases offer features tailored for IoT use cases."
"The speed of it is the most valuable feature."
"The price of MongoDB Atlas is reasonable, which is why many organizations, including mine, are opting for it."
"The most beneficial MongoDB features for our workload are the ability to scale up and down using automatic sharding and clustering."
"The product allows us to easily set up and store large amounts of unstructured data."
 

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."
"From the scalability point of view, when we shard the database it creates a replica set of each shard and that will increase the cost."
"One improvement that I would like to see is a feature to export changes made in the environment, such as creating a new user."
"The product's data aggregation feature needs to work faster."
"The initial setup is not too difficult but can be somewhat tricky."
"MongoDB Atlas should improve its user experience by providing better explanations or a wizard for people working with its UI."
"The replica side, like the venue, can be improved."
"MongoDB Atlas should support containerization."
"I would like a more comprehensive dashboard."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for DbVisualizer is fair."
"A license with a few years of support is a good and valuable option."
"Pricing could always be better."
"We pay for a license."
"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."
"The price of MongoDB Atlas is highly expensive to use and maintain. They are taking advantage of the users with such a high price."
"I am using the free version of the solution."
"The pricing is good. We originally chose it over DynamoDB because of the pricing."
"Comparing the price between the MongoDB and Microsoft SQL Server, we are using the enterprise edition of Microsoft SQL Server, which is more expensive than MongoDB."
"For me, MongoDB is expensive, but I think it is not so expensive for customers."
