Galaxy vs. DataGrip
The Best DataGrip Alternative for SQL Querying
Why Developers Are Moving From
DataGrip to Galaxy
Old & Slow
DataGrip is heavy and clunky, and their UI / UX is not built for the devs of the future
No Collaboration Features
No way to share or version control queries with teams. Devs rely on manual copy-pasting in Slack/Notion.
Ineffective AI Copilot
Because it's a plug-in DataGrip lacks a context-aware AI copilot, creating incorrect queries and not notifying you when your data model changes
