What do you like best about PopSQL?

- User Interface. It's smooth, modern and easy to use.

- Easy to setup connections

- Parameterized Queries

- SQL query autocomplete suggestions

- Schema introspections

I started using PopSQL almost 2 years ago, and it's always my go-to for querying a relational database. I first learned about it in a freecodecamp video on learning SQL, and having tried over a dozen other market offerings for SQL clients, I can confidently say that PopSQL is the best out there!

The user interface is one of its strongest points, having a sleek, responsive and reactive layout that keeps the important elements in focus. Outdated UIs like pgAdmin, dbeaver and mysqlworkbench do not have the same smoothness or UX.

The parameterized queries are a blessing for plugging in values through a dropdown, selection or otherwise. The introspection is fast, and shows all relevant data such as column names and types in milliseconds! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PopSQL?

While I'm aware that PopSQL has more features like Dashboarding, query alerts and others, I just don't use them as much, and just prefer it as a reliable SQL client that can help me get my database work done with the least amount of effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PopSQL solving and how is that benefiting you?

PopSQL is making data accessibility easier for both individuals and organizations. I'm more productive when I use it and can easily share queries with teammates thus improving collaboration. There's no huge technical barrier between me and the database when I'm using PopSQL. Their support system is excellent, and customer care is quite helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PopSQL?

PopSQL has a user interface that's easy to navigate resembling the smooth experience of using Mac software.

The ability to run Ad Hoc SQL analytics and share data is a game changer, for my team. I can effortlessly create queries to retrieve data, schedule tasks and share the results with my colleagues. This feature saves us time on tasks and empowers advanced users to access relevant data effortlessly.

The option to organize SQL logic into folders and subfolders promotes an approach to saving and accessing code. It enhances our teams data literacy by facilitating collaboration reviewing code and sharing knowledge.

I can connect PopSQL with production databases such as PostgreSQL, Databricks, Snowflake and BigQuery. This flexibility enables me to access and query data from sources while also performing checks for identifying any inconsistencies, between datasets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PopSQL?

Although PopSQL usually provides an experience there have been an instances where the data sharing feature didn't function properly. A few team members noticed that the Excel files exported appeared to be, in disarray. However I'm happy to report that the PopSQL team has taken measures to address this problem. It appears to have been resolved in recent updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PopSQL solving and how is that benefiting you?

PopSQL accelerates my journey to master SQL quickly. The user-friendly interface and the convenience of organizing queries within folders make the learning process enjoyable and swift. With PopSQL, I can focus on exploring SQL concepts and executing queries efficiently, thus empowering me to enhance my SQL skills with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PopSQL?

As a developer, I love PopSQL's scratchpad. Very clean interface to write queries and see results on the right of the screen. It also shows you results from previous runs of queries. You can write multiple queries and it only runs the one where your cursor is. I love this because I haven't deleted any of my old queries and can quickly grab and reuse them.

The Slack integration is very neat. You can easily set it up to run queries every x minutes and notify you in Slack if rows are returned or not. This has been extremely useful in monitoring our DB for unexpected states.

Collaboration works similar to Google docs. Works as you would expect.

Some of my coworkers use it to create charts and other visualizations which look pretty nice too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PopSQL?

I don't think I dislike anything. It's a great product! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PopSQL solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about PopSQL?

It is very easy to use and collaborate on thanks to an easy sharing button. I like that even though it is not a BI tool per se, it has quite good chart capabilities. What I liked the most on the most recent update is its new AI capabilities, as generating a title and a description is something that most of the time we do not do and suggested fixing errors helps a lot with syntax errors. Version history is great as there is no need to remember what you changed beforehand, making it a lot easier to go back into previous versions. Having a dark mode is always greatly appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PopSQL?

Looking for a specific column in a table is hard as it does not let you filter by table.column. You can only look for either a table or a column. Even though chart and dashboard capabilities are quite good for a sql runner it still have lots of room for improvement. Once you delete a query there is no trash bin where you could potentially recover that query. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PopSQL solving and how is that benefiting you?

Thanks to the versatility of PopSQL as a SQL runner, it lets us do collaborative work in a user-friendly way thanks to its ease of use making us more productive overall. Syntax errors, which are a well known headache, are mitigated by the AI capabilities that PopSQL offer so not only does it saves time but also increases the query accuracy.

No need to rack my brain about previous changes that I made to the queries thanks to the version history as it seamlessly tracks alterations as well as enhances transparency on queries.

Having an automatic limit 10 also has saved me a few times from unnecessary waiting times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PopSQL?

What I enjoy about PopSQL is it is easy to use and easy to faciliate quick reporting and running queries.

I do not spend much time writing and re-writing new custom queries. Instead, I set up recurring queries to run on a scheduled cadence. It saves me so much time! Even the queries I do not use on a scheduled basis, I keep open as separate tabs. These tabs have saved me over and over.

Speaking of which, the general structure, format, and UI is lovely. It's simple and straightforward - if I cut down all the frills I would normally associate with similar tools, it's exactly what PopSQL has made itself out to be. Buttons are clearly detailed, custom SQL box is simple to expand or contract, and the results are readily available.

The hotkeys are great - I hate having to click around a screen. If my hand comes off the mouse, I have lost. And thankfully, PopSQL helps by having simple to use, easy to understand, and easily accessible hotkeys.

Also, I really appreciate how I can swiftly switch from one database to another. In some other tools, I have had challenges in syncing various DB's, and switching between them took more time than I had in the day. Now, I can go to the drop down in the top right, find the right database/warehouse, and run the queries or reports I need to run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PopSQL?

The only thing I wish was different about PopSQL is being able to run schedule exports without queries being public. Occassionally I come across a non-public report I wish to export but am unable to without it being public. In a big organization. it's hard to find the owner! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PopSQL solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm attempting to solve both the missing reporting data from my own BI tools which are a bit more cumbersome to manipulate, as well as pull information which feeds into my own daily reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PopSQL?

-Scheduling a query set using the calendar is the highlight of this application.

-Various third party integration are supported such as Slack, GitHub & more.

-Administrators can maintain a version history from their dashboards.

-They provide a free to use version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PopSQL?

-SQL auto-suggestion is not that great. It works poorly for us.

-Free version is provided but it has limited features & as an organisation eventually, you'll have to buy the premium plan.

-Visualization is provided but the graphs & charts are not that great, we export the data & use it elsewhere for better visualisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PopSQL solving and how is that benefiting you?

PopSQL is able to merge the teams that share the DBs of a single application & it reduces the administrator's overheads by manifolds. We can now schedule an entire query set for execution during off hours and analyse the reports the next morning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
