Pros
Pro Professional tool
This is a good and stable tool with really good and useful functionality: import/export, SSH tunnelling, fast searching, duplication, DDL visualization etc. If you are a professional, don't complain about the pricing. If you're an amateur, maybe this isn't for you.

Pro Wildcard finder
Has a search box that will highlight any matching row, regardless of what field is matched (spans multiple columns).
Pro In-line editing
Allows you to edit and save db rows through a spread-sheet like editor.
Pro Supports reading schemas from multiple sources
Schemaball can read schemas from multiple sources such as SQL schema dumps, flat files or live databases.
Pro Interesting twist on visual interface

Cons
Con Expensive
License for the full product is costly.
Con Visualizations may be hard to get used to
Since schemas are visualized by using stylized "schema balls" it may be hard getting used to them since they are so different from the other, more straightforward options.
