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.

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."

"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."

"Timed queries that add their result to the result grid for every execution are helpful."

"Our business processes are much more efficient with Teradata's speed."

"It has reduced a lot of reworking on maintaining indexes, partitions, etc."

"The most valuable feature is the ease of running queries."

"When it comes to integration, tools like Informatica seamlessly connect with Teradata. We ensure the Teradata database is configured correctly in Informatica, including the proper hostname and properties for the load process. We didn't find any major complexity or issues with integration."

"Teradata combines a powerful parallel process and optimizing SQL engine with a highly scalable architecture allowing businesses to execute complex queries and analytics in real-time."

"It's a pre-configured appliance that requires very little in terms of setting-up."

"We had few reports which were taking more than 45 minutes, then with Teradata we received results within minutes, and a few under a minute."

"Teradata's most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."

More Teradata pros

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."

"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."

"Apart from Control-M, it would be nice if it could integrate with other tools."

"I would like more security and speed."

"Sometimes the large injestion takes days to load data, and some of our stored procedures take two to three days."

"Teradata needs to expand the kind of training that's available to customers."

"The only issue our company has with Teradata IntelliFlex is that it is not cost-effective because of the way the product has been designed."

"The user interface needs to be improved."

"Teradata needs to expand the kind of training that's available to customers. Teradata only offers training directly and doesn't delegate to any third-party companies. As a result, it's harder to find people trained on Teradata in our market relative to Oracle."

"I'm not sure about the unstructured data management capabilities. It could be improved."

More Teradata cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A license with a few years of support is a good and valuable option."

"The pricing for DbVisualizer is fair."

"The cost is substantial, totaling around $1.2 million, solely dedicated to upgrading the hardware."

"Teradata used to be expensive, but they have been lowering their prices."

"We are looking for a more flexible cost model for the next version that we use, whether it be cloud or on-premise."

"It comes at a notably high cost for what it offers."

"Teradata is a very expensive solution."

"In the past, it turned out that other solutions, in order to provide the full range of abilities that the Teradata platform provides plus the migration costs, would end up costing more than Teradata does."

"Teradata is expensive, so it's typically marketed to big customers. However, there have been some changes, and Teradata is now offering more flexible pricing models and equipment leasing. They've added pay-as-you-go and cloud models, so it's changing, but Teradata is generally known as an expensive high-end product."

"The solution requires a license."
