Honest Assessment
We're transparent: SchemaVis is in alpha and not yet production-ready for mission-critical work. But we're building something different - focused on real-time collaboration and modern visualization from day one. We'd love your feedback as we grow.
Each tool has its strengths. DrawSQL and chartsdb excel at visual quality. dbdiagram.io offers a unique DSL approach. Azimutt provides open source collaboration. We respect all of these tools and their contributions to the database visualization space.
