DB Cruiser: Frequently Asked Questions
 |
What's the biggest difference between DB Cruiser and other database tools?
DB Cruiser is a web-based database tool. That means, once it's installed on a server,
everyone in the organization can access databases via web browsers without installing anything on their
desktop computer.
Furthermore, whith HTTPS, users can access their organization's databases safely through Internet, this is especially convenient for people working from remote office or home. In other words, DB Cruiser is "Install Once on the Server, Access From Anywhere via Browsers". Most other database access tools are application-based. That means, they need to be installed and configurated on each desktop computer before using it. Also, they usually charge according to number of copies installed. In contrast, a project, even a whole organization, may need to install only one copy (instance) of DB Cruiser in a server for all the people in the project or organization to use. That means, by using DB Cruiser, a company can save money for buying only one license, save time for installing only once, and save maintenance cost for maintaining only at one place.
