I use dbForge for PostgreSQL as for my main DB IDE **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alena S. | Software & E-Commerce Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 05, 2019 **What do you like best about dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL?** I use dbForge for PostgreSQL as for my main DB IDE. I had Navicat and always used it. From the first version of dbForge, I never ever used navicat once again. Seems very stable. **What do you dislike about dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL?** I already reported many bug reports and it seems Devart successfully managed to fix them. Only thing makes me think is to edit table schema. This is not so much showstopper for me at the moment because I use internal tools for table editing for my apps. (Migrations) No advanced database configuration (tablespaces...) can be made at the moment. But this is very young product so I would expect such delay on these features as usual. No table schema editing but this can be done in second app (pgadmin v4) if necessary until dbForge implement it. Also, when I click on json value I had to manually switch to JSON View mode. It should automatically mark it as json view when i view a cell that has a json data. **Recommendations to others considering dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL:** Recommend it. **What problems is dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL solving and how is that benefiting you?** I was always in search of great tools for PostgreSQL. I really care about UI and dbForge has a huge advantage over this. Querying database, connecting to multipler DBs and marking them as "Production" or "Development" is also is a life saver. I just categorized them so never mix them. ### 18. Love it. Hands down the best postgres querying tool. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 27, 2019 **What do you like best about dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL?** dbForge's data visualizer is above and beyond anything I've seen from other products (commercial or otherwise). This feature, along with a great looking and familiar user interface (reminiscent of SQL Server Management Studio), and good syntax completion make your product a "must have" for Postgresql development. I really appreciate that dbForge offers a free community edition as well. It's awesome to be able to also use a tool of this caliber on personal projects too. **What do you dislike about dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL?** Nothing. dbForge for Postgresql fills a gap that I've felt has existed for a long time in the Postgres community. **Recommendations to others considering dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL:** I love it. Hands down the best postgres querying tool. Recommend. **What problems is dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our solutions make heavy use of json and xml datatypes, so being able to visualize the data is very important to us. ## dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL Discussions - [What are the features of PostgreSQL?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/dbforge-studio-for-postgresql-what-are-the-features-of-postgresql) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [What is dbForge Studio for SQL Server?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/dbforge-studio-for-postgresql-what-is-dbforge-studio-for-sql-server-1c4cd212-cd54-4e89-becb-323c469c9fd7) - 1 comment - [What is dbForge Studio for SQL Server?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/dbforge-studio-for-postgresql-what-is-dbforge-studio-for-sql-server-9ae39663-c1be-4992-9b2b-43309c1d3ead) - 1 comment - [What is dbForge Studio for SQL Server?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/dbforge-studio-for-postgresql-what-is-dbforge-studio-for-sql-server-3add95bf-e6a5-41e5-bd02-e2d8c9e142f5) - 1 comment - [What is dbForge Studio for SQL Server?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/dbforge-studio-for-postgresql-what-is-dbforge-studio-for-sql-server) - 1 comment - [View dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/dbforge-studio-for-postgresql/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-22+16%3A09%3A23+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=a02b2b4e-f8a8-46f3-a65e-73dc904d3547&secure%5Btoken%5D=cfdee4e20d9f0b3320598c28b7ea0b8d306c27b7e3066b639f134fe2d7dc7700&format=llm_user) ## dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL Features **Management** - Query Language - Performance Analysis **Maintenance** - Data Migration ## Top dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL Alternatives - [Snowflake](https://www.g2.com/products/snowflake/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (692 reviews) - [Microsoft SQL Server](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-sql-server/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (2,118 reviews) - [SAS Viya](https://www.g2.com/products/sas-sas-viya/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (755 reviews)
