DbGate — an easy-to-use alternative to CloudBeaver

If you’re using CloudBeaver but want more flexibility, better collaboration features, or a unified desktop and web experience, DbGate is the perfect alternative. It’s a modern SQL & NoSQL database manager that works seamlessly across desktop and web environments with powerful team collaboration built-in.

Why teams choose DbGate over CloudBeaver

Desktop and Web flexibility. Unlike CloudBeaver’s web-only approach, DbGate gives you both native desktop apps (Win/macOS/Linux) and a browser-based Web UI — even in the Free Community edition. Use what works best for each team member.

True collaboration features. Real-time co-editing of queries and ER diagrams, secure connection sharing, and role-based permissions that actually map to how teams work together.

Unified SQL & NoSQL experience. Work across relational and NoSQL databases with consistent tooling and workflows, not separate interfaces for different engine types.

Enterprise-ready security. Single Sign-On (OAuth2/OIDC), external IdPs, Azure Managed Identity, AWS IAM, audit logs, and granular access control without the complexity.

Deployment flexibility. Run on desktops, self-host with Docker, or choose fully managed Azure or AWS Editions — same features, different operational models.

What makes DbGate better than CloudBeaver

• Hybrid access: Desktop and web clients included, not web-only limitations.
• Real collaboration: Co-edit queries and diagrams in real-time, not just shared access to static resources.
• Consistent experience: SQL & NoSQL databases work the same way with unified browsing, editing, and visualization.
• Enterprise governance: Built-in roles, audit trails, and SSO integration — not afterthoughts or separate products.
• Faster setup: Sensible defaults and clean UI get new users productive in minutes, not hours.
