The tool offered team-oriented database management with sharing capabilities. Users should now consider alternatives like PopSQL, DBeaver, or DataGrip for similar functionality. For teams seeking collaborative SQL editing with modern UX, PopSQL provides closest feature overlap. For individual developers wanting modern interface, TablePlus or Beekeeper Studio offer alternatives. The database tools market continues consolidating with acquisitions and sunsets—always verify tool status before evaluation.
