| Q. | What's the biggest difference between DB Cruiser and other database access tools? |
| A. |
DB Cruiser is a web-based database access tool. That means, once it's installed on a server,
everyone in the company can access databases via web browsers without installing anything on their
desktop computer.
Furthermore, by using HTTPS, people can access their company's databases safely via Internet, this is especially convenient for people working from home. In other words, DB Cruiser is Install Once on the Server, Access From Anywhere via Browsers. Most other database access tools are window-based, that means they need to be installed on your desktop computer before you can use them. Also, they usually charge according to number of copies installed. In contrast, a project, even a whole company, needs to install only one copy of DB Cruiser in a server for all the people in the project or company 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.
