"I consider the solution very scalable.""Its dashboards are most valuable. The drill-down of the dashboards is useful.""The tool is a SaaS product where I just need to type a URL and start with the design process. I can integrate all elements of source control like GitHub, GitLab, etc. The tool also supports authentication-related provisions like SSH."

Cons
"Sometimes, I feel that the startup time takes a bit more time than needed.""One thing I would like to see changed is having the JDBC drivers in a fixed location outside of the application package."

More DbVisualizer Cons →

"The software does not support webhooks. It doesn't support advanced versions of APIs. The tool also doesn't support advanced versions of specifications. The change that we do in one part of the model is not reflected throughout the specification. There are also some mutations in the clones. I am not able to do a local source control with the product as well.""Some customizations of the dashboard, such as having backup reports, would be useful.""There's no reporting with this tool, and there really should be. They should add that into future releases."
