JS Joshua S. Product and Content Analyst Consumer Services Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 5/2/2017 "An overall reliable way for me to execute SQL queries" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Navicat Premium? The number one best feature of Navicat, trumping any other issue for me, is it's ability to restore a session just the way it was if Navicat or the whole computer freezes and I think I've lost my work. It does tend to freeze fairly often but it's ability to restore the unsaved queries I'd written is HUGE! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Navicat Premium? I don't like that result tabs are erased any time I run a new query. Why can't the results be saved and a new tab added with results? If I want to see multiple results I have to run multiple queries at the same time and waste my own time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Navicat Premium: It's a perfectly fine way to query a data warehouse. I'm not really sure it's better than free alternatives but it's not a lot of money either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Navicat Premium solving and how is that benefiting you? I spend around 50% of my day on Navicat writing and adjusting queries that pull data from my company's data warehouse. All the analyses I do start with Navicat.

The ease of use once downloading and connecting to you DB is awesome. My favorite feature overall, though, is the ability to quickly import and export large data sets. My team uses this product daily and are required to import data very regularly, which is why we went with Navicat over other GUI options. The ability to save frequently used queries which also helps save time in the long run, Navicat also makes it very easy for the user to move between tables and search for specific tables quickly while building and running your queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Navicat Premium? My main dislike is the color scheme and overall layout of the product. It is very bland and limited for customization. It is also difficult to Navicat around the tool if you do not know exactly what you are looking for. As I noted on the next page, this product is also rather expensive for the individual logins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Navicat Premium: I would recommend using this product if exporting data sets is important to your daily activities. The product is great for both Postgres and Redshift users The only downfall is the price of the individual logins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Navicat Premium solving and how is that benefiting you? I work on an analytics group at a media company and we use this tool to access our database in order to provide clients with detailed reporting. The benefits realized from using this product is the amount of time saved importing/exporting data over other similar products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Web Marketing and Sales Retail Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/10/2017 "A great tool for people needing a way to automatically sync databases." 4.5/5 What do you like best about Navicat Premium? Being able to automatically update a SQL database on a regular schedule. It has to ability to e-mail you results to confirm that the update of a database was successful. It also make editing a SQL database very easy. Set up was pretty painless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Navicat Premium?

It was a lifesaver for syncing a Pervasive database with an e-commerce SQL database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Navicat Premium solving and how is that benefiting you? I was able to use Navicat to link an old out of date database with an online SQL database. The purpose was to link an inventory system with an ecommerce store.

CE Caroline E. Software Developer III Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 10/18/2016 "A good product but not great" 3/5 What do you like best about Navicat Premium? Navicat has a lot of great features -- I like its ease of setup when connecting to multiple DBs, the ability to use query-builder when you want to visually build queries, and the ease of "beautification" of ugly SQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Navicat Premium? The interface is a bit clunky -- to query you need to be in a DB and then hit "new". Viewing table data also requires a new window which is cumbersome if you want to flip between table views. I prefer a simpler reload in same pane, much like you get with Sequel Pro (which I should note is only available on a mac). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Navicat Premium: Try a few tools to see what you like best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Navicat Premium solving and how is that benefiting you? When I am working on data problems I tend to go to Navicat if I want to put tables together in query builder or clean up some machine SQL I am debugging. I like it for ease of table info viewing and creating foreign keys. For most other things I prefer other SQL tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
