Old & Slow
DataGrip is heavy and clunky, and their UI / UX is not built for the devs of the future
No Collaboration Features
DataGrip has no way to share or version control queries with teams. Devs rely on manual copy-pasting in Slack/Notion.
Ineffective AI Copilot
Because AI is a plug-in, DataGrip lacks a context-aware AI copilot, creating incorrect queries and not notifying you when your data model changes
Galaxy is the best AI SQL editor for data-centric organizations.
