Best database management software

Maybe the price if you need the pro features

With Navicat, our company can query or DB to access the data required for the day. It's lightweight yet powerful for everyone in the company regardless of skill-set. We've been using this tool for a number of years and it has been wieldy accepted internally.

- User Experience is the best feature that make me easily manage my databases

- I cannot open two tables in separate tabs for comparing data

it is totally recommended the use of this database manager, in the course of my career they showed it to me and now I use it every time I need to work with a mysql database

what I like the most is its easy access and management to all types of relational database, it has very necessary functionalities and that help the diary any programmer or dba

you have to learn and read very well how to use it because sometimes the actions are not at first sight

Feature-rich, easy to use, great connectivity. Create databases in Navicat is a breeze, whether you're a DBA or a developer. I used MySQL workbench, and that got me by. Then I tried Navicat and was immediately aware of all the things MySQL Workbench is missing. Navicat is one of those pieces of software you need your developers to have access to.

It is definitely pricey. When I was a contractor and first purchased this, I was not impressed at the price, mainly because I would have to deal with MySQL, SQL Server, Postgres, and other database backends, so I had to buy the full package.

It's time saver, small piece of software and very universal.

one software for all databases

not every feature of every DB engine is implemented

This product has been invaluable over the years. It saves so much time both creating, running, and exporting query data.

Drag and drop visual editor makes for easy query building.

Would be nice if there was a native subquery builder like on some other tools.

Very easy to find data and update records. Data syncronization tools are very intuitive and easy to use.

Easy connection management, ability to save queries, easy access to tables,queries,stored procedures and triggers. This tool is easy to use yet powerful, I really like the tabbed interface approach allowing for grouping of separated queries and tables.

I would really love it if they could add the ability to search for a column in the table view by name, I waste a lot of time scrolling horizontally through tables looking for specific columns, granted, I could write a quick select query to find the data but sometimes it is really useful to be able to update the tables directly for small updates.

The program helped me a lot with .xml and other files within db that can't be inserted or modified with normal db managements.

Navicat lets you to do more than it can be made with the simple sql management and it also let's you to backup the data to many more features.

The software gets everything that needs to make a full DB management so i have nothing to say.

I have had a better experience in general database adminstration and development, ability to connect to multiple databases fromt the same interface as well as easiness in query editing.

Navicat premium lets me connect to MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQLite databases from a single interface, editting sql queries have been made so much easier and as a developer Navicat premium have increased my prodctivity.

Navicat cons are you need about 10 hours to familiarise yourself with this tool as well as knowledge in database development and adminstration.

Navicat is a great DB admin tool, that makes navigating a database very easy and intuitive. I especially love the query builder, which makes writing queries a breeze for anyone with even a little bit of exposure to SQL. Very easy to Navigate between different types of databases. Makes my life so convenient to be able to do so.

The only con of this software is the price. If you work with different types of databases and need to regularly navigate between them, this software may be worth it. Otherwise, a cheaper software is probably more suitable.

Exceptional and professional tool for those who have to deal with large or small amounts of data with a certain continuity.

Navicat Premium helps you to connect and manage various databases, such as MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, SQL Server, SQLite, Oracle & PostgreSQL.

We need in-depth knowledge of database operation and the attention that a database deserves, always making copies before changes that can lead to data loss

Navicat has brought me many benefits, first of all it saves me time, there is no need to use several database clients, it allows me to automate tasks that run at night outside working hours, generate reports for my bosses, migrate information from one database to another. I am very happy with this software simplifies my life at work.

Navicat is an excellent database client, it simplifies a lot of work, it makes backups, the migration of information between tables even between different databases is simply incredible. The option to synchronize data is something that I use frequently in a positive way and I love that it is possible to automate the tasks. The graphical interface is very beautiful and attractive, it makes the work pleasant, it is very intuitive, which allows discovering new functionalities as the tool is used. A great point in its favor is the report creator. This functionality is vital for my daily work. Reverse engineering for an amazing and surprising database has helped me develop new systems that already exist and do not have database documentation. The SQL editor is very well done. I could not ask for more than what needs to be done.

Not everything can be perfect Navicat can not connect to the database DB2-AS400 which forces me to connect from another client this feature is important, another point against Navicat is that there is no native version for the Linux environment is necessary the wine emulator.

Having used this tool has made my job tasks a lot easier. With having a lot of SQLite and MS SQL DBs on our systems, this gave me a possibility to do a lot of test queries before putting them in the system which doesn't have such options.

It takes a little while to get used to using this, but It's not that bad.

Easy to use for managing multi-type of databases

Wish to have native application for linux platform

Because there are several different databases used by different systems, it is useful to use navicat integrate all of them.

It can let you access several databases at the same time, user friendly.

No link server like ms sql manager, it is good to have the feature that several database query in just one open windows.

Very happy with it. I use it since many years and have never regret that.

The ease of connecting, manage and develop the databases is incredible easy. Most of it is drag and drop. The functionalities are endless and every upgrade (frequently) new features are added. So easy to use.

Of course the price could be an issue, but then consider the time you can spent on other tasks as this tool is really very good and easy in use.

This software is great, it's very simple and very light gets you up and running quickly it is definitely worth the price. When I get in I open it and I'm using it most of the day and it makes writing even complex queries easy.

Interface muito simples.

At times when I disconnect from an internet connection and a connection was still active, when I try to reconnect it keeps failing even after closing the connection so I end having to close the whole application.

This software has let me do my job faster.

This software makes Database management a breeze.

I am struggling to think of something I DONT like about Navicat.

This is a great tool to help visualize databases and various database functionality. You can utilize pretty much all popular data sources with this application.

Wish it had more tools with extensive functionality that would work with mobile devices. It would make mobile modification and manipulation more attainable.

I am happy with overall usage of Navicat because it has helped in creating very complex SQL queries easily using its visual Query Builder. That's a plus

- Brilliant management of Several databases from one application. You can manage database on your local server or connect to any external server which is a great feature

- One of the disadvantage of Navicat Premium is its a bit expensive as compared to some other solutions but at the same time has some great features which others don't provide

This is our goto product for all the various databases we use. It is much easier to use 1 tool to connect to them then 3 or 4.

I don't like having to renew my license each year. I'd rather just buy the product since we never upgrade it.

My experience is great, is the software I use for DB (Mysql and Pgsql). The only bad things I can say are the cons that I already mentioned.

1) Fácil de usar

1) kind of expensive (for a person, not a company).

Overall it's a great software for web and software developers for working with database , it has major database clients inside it and it's very simple to use.

This is the most usable app for database I've seen during my career. It has all features that software developer needs for working with database. Most important it has simple UI and it's very easy to use. It has visualisation of tables connections which is one of the best features of Navicat.

On new versions sometimes it loads slower then in old version but overall it does not have any cons that I can mention here.

Faster SQL script learning curve, better productivity and great tool reliability.

My first contact with Navicat was about nine years ago, and I was learning SQL at that time. It helped me a lot because with it I didn't need to see only complex SQL strings at the console, no, Navicat has a very good interface where you can see the databases in a graphical way.

It cannot deal very well with network oscillations, but I guess this is not the tool's fault, maybe the database drops the connection when you quickly disconnect from one network and reconnects. For example, if I'm executing a long SQL string with many INSERTs statements and my network drops for a couple seconds, the SQL Editor window freezes and the instruction is interrupted. Ideally, it should try to reconnect after and continues from where it stopped, but it doesn't.

I use navicat daily to connect to all my remote databases, it is very flexible and easy to use, it has many useful features!

I like everything about this tool, it's very good

Have used it for many years. It is the inly real option when writing queries for databases.

Usability. Layout. Functionality. Stability.

Sometimes it crashes. I also hate that sometimes you can’t save over your saved queries.

Navicat help our business partners to solve a data migration between many stores

Great software to integrate with other databases that have some application depends on data migration. The intuitive tools like export to CSV, JSON is an example of how Navicat can help you to solve administrative problems very fast and easily because of usability is simple.

Choose this software if you have a complex application

It is just the easiest way to open up any local or remote database and get a better idea of what a particular project is doing on the data management side of things.

The fact that this software supports anything you can imagine out there, intuitive options to view and update datasets, with sophisticated filter and sorting options.

I would like a simple means of setting up a composite view of multiple databases based on relations, and more intelligent data inputting, such as a calendar input for date fields.

I use Navicat Premium to oversee clients, associations, and databases. it additionally enables me to dole out various benefits to various clients relying upon the degree of data they require. it empowers me to perform questions on the databases and such. by and large, I think that its supportive when managing databases.

it is perfect with various OS platforms like Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. it has an instinctive interface it is easy to utilize it to oversee databases and association between the database and the interface. I can undoubtedly control, change and alter databases to sooth my prerequisites without fundamentally composing long and tedious language structure. accompanies a few incorporated highlights that make it dependable and proficient to deal with the databases. it is additionally conceivable to permit the cross-stage. it empowers reinforcement of databases and association so that in case they are lost you can without much of a stretch reestablish them.

it is very costly to purchase the Navicat Premium that accompanies full highlights. The free form does not mirror the full capacities of the superior form and can make clients end up considering different arrangements which are an incredible inverse since it is increasingly solid.

The first time i used navicat i knew i found what i just needed to manage and design DBs, i tried few times to find if there was another similar Application and no other DB manager does what navicat can do.

Manage all databases no matter the engine i can do all with a single application.

You can move data from what DB to other DB but cant still able to move data to certain DB engines.

Fácil de usar

Export DB diagram is somehow hard to use.

Navicat is a great help and tool to: explore your database, create queries easily and fast, import and export your database, and much more!

I think Navicat Premium has the potential to be the only tool you need for working with databases. The query builder is just amazing, it helps you to build a query by just using drag-n-drop, which would be your final query or at least be a good base for a cumbersome query. The model explorer is another great tool, allowing you to see the diagram and navigate through it easily. Connecting to a database is also very simple. I used it a lot with PostgreSQL and it works perfectly, and I preferred to use Navicat than the pgAdmin.

When there are changes on the model and you want to update the diagram is not that simple, as usually leaves all the tables on the left-upper corner and you need to either move them manually or create the diagram again.

With Navicat I saved time and space on my computer. With a single application I have everything I need and a little more.

Navicat allows you to save time by configuring work tools to manage your databases because it allows you to add among a large list of available engines. It is a fairly fast application and now that you have the service to store your connections in the cloud, it is much better, a single installation and all your connections where you want to be. What I like most is the assistant for complex queries, with a few clicks you can have queries in several tables and have incredible results.

I am a user of many operating systems both at home and at work and certainly Navicat is present in all of them but the appearance in Linux operating systems is quite outdated, I would like them to improve it.

Today is one of my mine application for developing software.

I am a multiple database engine user and I had a database manager for every engine that I use, then I started to use Navicat Premium I was able to manage all my database only with a single application.

In some database engines such as Microsoft SQL sometimes you can not edit or update tables properties and then you have to go to Microsft official tool to do it.

If you are doing a lot of data analysis using multiple data sources this is the tool. Did I mention the smart text

The smart text is unreal. The table schema builder is awesome. Setting up new connectors, tables, etc is really easy

Não consigo pensar em nada que não goste.

Navicat Premium is so easy to use. It can connect many databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, SQLite,...

It is expensive. If you use MacOS, you can download Sequel Pro.

Navicat's range of features is second to none. Recent updates offer a huge UX improvement over previous versions.

The cost is difficult to justify for many use cases, and far higher than comparable products. The limits on their Navicat Cloud platform seem restrictive and arbitrary.

It has been a great help in the creation and administration of database that I have had to manage, as well as being very useful in the classes taught in database design, since it allows me to make a comparison of how to administer a database by console and as with a graphic tool

Its totally graphical user-friendly interface, which allows to carry out from the conceptual design to the physical design of the database in a very easy way, which makes it a powerful tool to be used by people who are not experts in the database administration. In addition to maintaining high compatibility with different DBMS such as MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL and SQLite from a single application. Compatible with cloud databases such as Amazon RDS, Amazon Aurora, Amazon Redshift, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud, Google Cloud and Alibaba Cloud. Added to this allows you to manage the database easily and quickly, gives you the options of creating views, triggers, backup functions, synchronization, among others. You can create queries easily. Being able to create the code automatically compatible with the selected DBMS. It provides you with a free trial version for 14 days. Compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac. In addition to having extensive documentation and sites that provide support and documentation

Actually there is no feature that I do not like Navicat, the only thing I could say is that it is so useful that sometimes the people from so much use it lose a little bit of alacrity to download the database directly by console

I can definitely say this software has increased my productivity and allowed me work with some databases that I was unfamiliar with.

Navicat is my favorite tool and a cornerstone of my development toolbox of programs that I use on a daily basis. From cloning websites to creating quick database scripts for chron jobs and timed reports. I highly recommend it.

There's really not much I could suggest to improve Navicat. Maybe a cloud synch to store database connection settings and possibly an option to store backups to online file storage such as dropbox, Google drive, etc.

Data Manipulation, Extraction, Import etc

Offers a nice and tight native feeling user interface. Most tasks can be accomplished in a straightforward manner, quickly and efficiently. Great integration of copy and paste for quickly moving data to other apps, e.g. Excel or Sublime Text. I really like the editing and filtering options in the grid view, they are really powerful in comparison to most GUI clients

Upgrade pricing is too high. There are way too many different flavours and confusing purchasing options. There is gap between appstore and webstore, with disadvantages for the appstore user.

A complete software to manage your databases, you don't need to learn about it because it's easy to use.

Exporting requires more steps than it should, sometimes I get timeouts without a detailed error message so debugging is hard.

It's very easy an clearly to use this software for many database systems

I like it because it works in multiple operative systems, and all I need make with the databases I can find it immediately in this software

i can't change the language in this software to my tongue language or i don't know where change it, this software don't show me where i can change it.

I think I've been a Navicat user for over six years. What I like most is that from a simple interface, I can manage a large number of databases. Create queries, filter results and even use the console.

Several databases from the same application. Easy to use.

Sometimes it can get a bit slow; However, that only happens when very large queries are made. Otherwise the application works just fine.

Access all of your databases across different servers, create and edit tables, fields, etc. Command prompt feature is nice, and easily transfer information from one database to another, even on different servers. Valuable tool!

This tool is great for developers that heavily rely on database management. It has support for most of databases out there. The UI is also great and constantly improving(unlike other bloated solutions). The pricing is also nice, as it is a one time fee (license). The biggest plus in my opinion is the multi platform availability(Windows, Linux, Mac)

As an admin of many databases - and not a subject matter expert in any of them - Navicat has been my saving grace. I'm able to connect, configure, migrate, and schedule tasks via Navicat with little working knowledge of SQL. I couldn't do all the fun and exciting things I do without Navicat.

I'm using Navicat Premium. The best part of Navicat premium is the database migration features, which you can drag and drop tables from Oracle to MySQL, PostgreSQL to MySQL and vice versa. or to a plain text file with designated SQL format and encoding. Meanwhile, you can transfer database data between different servers across various database platfrom.

I've tried many GUI but most only supporting a single database such as MySQL. However, Navicat Premium allows you to work with most database types: Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite and even Oracle. On top of that, the interface for managing the creation of tables and databases is a lot more feature-packed than that of most free tools. Managing and creating things like Stored Procedures is also a lot easier and helped with autocompleting your query code as well.

- Supporting Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite and Oracle

- The cost of a license ranges from $79 to $998
