RR
Integrates with many databases, clean GUI, and provides valuable real-time graphs
Like most people working with databases, we initially used the vendors' tools. These included applications like SQL Plus, PL/pgSQL, etc. They all are a bit limited and all respond differently to edits. Tools like Toad, PL/pgSQL developer, pgAdmin, and DBeaver have been in use but no tool could win here. Maybe some other tool has more options in a specific database but a lot of people have trouble finding them because of the cluttered interface. There are buttons for every feature. Here, DbVisualizer, shows strong and smart use of context menus, making the GUI a lot cleaner than most similar tools.
Prasad Pimple - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhancing database management with operational efficiency but needs better compatibility
Era should be compatible with various environments, such as VMware and Red Hat, to be hypervisor agnostic. Due to increasing adoption among enterprise clients, integration with Kubernetes platforms is also needed. Furthermore, the product can benefit from improving its understanding of architectural setup and communicating its limitations to users and partners.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Timed queries that add their result to the result grid for every execution are helpful."
"Actions like exporting grids to Excel or other tools is a very easy task."
"It is also a single platform, all in one place, and that is a reason we went for this solution. Earlier, we had multiple platforms, the database and the OS, but this is a single platform that helps us with what we are doing."
"There are a lot of options for working with the database."
"I wanted a tool that offers enough monitoring for everything related to load balancing in my databases."
"The time to provision the database went from taking a couple of days to now taking a few minutes. That is the immediate impact we saw. It helped the team to focus more. They can now be focused on support rather than spending time provisioning, which is a repetitive activity."
"Management and provision are the most important features of Nutanix Database Service."
"Nutanix Era effectively reduces operational overheads by streamlining the application team's implementation of multiple environments."
"The solution enables us to speed up the creation of new instances."
"One feature that is very good is the backup and validation process that's built into Era."
 

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."
"Patch management is an issue as it regularly causes stability problems."
"It should be able to be consumed by other customers because only the enterprise cloud customers are able to buy this software."
"We faced some performance issues with Nutanix."
"There will always be room for improvement, there is nothing perfect from day one. There are some technical challenges that we have with NDS. I believe with time it will be sorted out."
"The solution needs to improve compatibility with other back-ups and products."
"The solution should provide more integration with more databases."
"The solution could improve by providing more support for more vendors."
"It would be helpful if Nutanix added a billing system for databases. We need to automate this with a separate solution. We are service providers, so it would be easier for our customers if there were a built-in system that we could use for billing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for DbVisualizer is fair."
"A license with a few years of support is a good and valuable option."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Era is quite expensive. The thing that will be a showstopper for them in the long run is if you look at it from a technical perspective on what it provides and weigh it up against consolidation of multiple other software suites."
"Licensing costs will be the main scalability problem."
"The tool is expensive."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
