No Collaboration Features
DbVisualizer has no way to share or version control queries with teams. Devs rely on manual copy-pasting in Slack / Notion
No AI Functionality
DbVisualizer lacks AI functionality entirely, slowing down teams and forcing them to paste queries & schema into Claude / ChatGPT directly
Not built for modern developers
While DbVisualizer is a great db client, it lacks a modern UI and new features / UX that will make it future proof.
