GR Gravelle R. IT Guru Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/4/2018 "The Cadillac of Database Management Tools" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Navicat Premium? The ability to connect securely to several database types at the same time is invaluable. It's especially useful for performing data migrations. I also have gotten a lot of use out of the Cloud Collaboration feature, which allows my team to share queries. I also sync my connection settings between my various devices. The Reporting tool is quite impressive. I have used it a fair amount. Code Completion makes query writing a lot easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Navicat Premium? It's not the cheapest solution. Perhaps not well suited to part-timers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Navicat Premium: The Query Builder tool is really good for those who aren't SQL experts. I don't personally need it, but I could see how it would benefit many people. I highly recommend this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Navicat Premium solving and how is that benefiting you? It's my go-to tool for performing data migrations. Navicat Premium has also allowed me to setup scheduled tasks such as backups without having to get into UNIX cronjob syntax. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Freelance: Senior full-stack web and mobile developer Program Development Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/10/2018 "Features everywhere" 5/5 What do you like best about Navicat Premium? I like the way they made the UI that can handle all those features. Even with all of those, is very easy to start using the software because it provides (in some cases) two shortcuts for a certain functionality. For example, you if you don't want to waste time building you database by creating the tables manually, you can create the E-R diagram there and at the end you can export that diagram into a SQL file ready to be executed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Navicat Premium? That they are using wine to run the software for Linux distributions, is still fast but I prefer something native. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Navicat Premium solving and how is that benefiting you? Since I am a full-stack, I needed this tool to work faster in projects.

Think what options and databases you really work with an get the edition that matches your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Navicat Premium solving and how is that benefiting you? Opens, manages and edits all types of databases (SQLite, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL) on my Mac in a common UI.

PHP Developer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/12/2017 "Navicat: I'd Be Lost Without It" 5/5 What do you like best about Navicat Premium? Having multiple connections opened at once and being able to work in each of those easily. The server monitor is amazing if you use replication. But the best part of navicat is being able to clone a whole database, part of a database or just individual rows by dragging and dropping. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Navicat Premium? The query log could be more user friendly instead of using the operating systems default log application. It would also be nice to have the ability to manager master/slave databases right within Navicat.
