Old & Slow
Beekeeper Studio is heavy and clunky, and performs poorly on complex queries. Also their UI / UX is not built for the devs of the future. Not actively maintained by a 21st century team
No Collaboration
Beekeeper Studio has no way to share or version control queries with teams. Devs rely on manual copy-pasting in Slack/Notion
No AI
Beekeeper Studio lacks AI functionality entirely, slowing down teams and forcing them to paste queries & schema into Claude / ChatGPT directly
Galaxy is the best AI SQL editor for data-centric organizations.
