Navicat Premium Reviews & Product Details

As a Database Architect and Engineer I need the best tools available.

Navicat 17 is a one stop tool to do everything and anything you need to do with a database. From MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQLite to numerous cloud databases. There truly is no other tool that compares.

I have been a very long time user of Navicat. Every release gets better and better. Believe me, I have try pretty much every DB manager out there and Navicat is hands down the best and easiest to work with.

One of the first benefits is that it does not matter what platform you are on. Whether it be Windows, macOS, or Linux, Navicat Premium 17 is available for all of them.

With this Major release also comes a brand new design that improves usability and accessibility. The GUI interface is clean and extremely intuitive. You could easily just dive right in and start using it without have to read a single page of the manual.

I really like the Data Generator. One of the problems with creating a database from the ground up is having real data to test with. With Navicat 17, the problem is solved.

Navicat also comes with a built-in Chart Generator. What is great about this is that it connects to any data source. Excel, Access, or ODBC, it doesn't matter. Chart generation works for all of them.

Whether you use Navicat from home or the office, the Connection Profile lets you create any number of profiles each with their own settings.

Once you connect to your chosen data source, Navicat's new filtering feature allows you to easily drill down through your data to get exactly the information you want.

Another great feature of Navicat is the Query Builder. This is something I find myself using quite often when creating complex queries. In a single window you can create and run your query. The summary tab provides detailed summary when you run your query.

There are so many other features one could write a book on Navicat. From Data Transfer, Synchronization, Data Comparison, Importing & Exporting data to various formats, a built-in database designer, and reverse engineering, there just isn't any other Software that compares to Navicat Premium 17.

It is on the expensive side compared to similar applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Complete. I use it daily for studying and some projects I have. Its versatility and elegance are the characteristics that impress me most. Proof of this is that my first user license was purchased on 2015-05-04 07:02:16 and every year I insist on renewing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe just a redesign of use for non-relational databases like MongoDB. A different visualization option, a graphical explain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part in Navicat premium is that the user is able to create a multiple conenctions for different databases on same application and can easily access the databases with just a double click and you are connected with your desired data base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The issue i faced with navicat is that I was trying to access the microsoft dynamics 365 dataverse but it does not allow the feature to connect with it and due to this reason i had to use other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Navicat to manage the development of the ContentBox Modular/Headless CMS. We need to be able to manage over 5 different databases to support our CMS and Navicat makes this hard process easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I cannot find anything I don't like about Navicat right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rich with features and multi-database support with the ultimate feasibility of managing them. Also a fan of the charts and new database creation tool. The connectivity tool is much more intuitive and appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sidebars and resolution on the bigger screen is only the issue I face that might be fixed in later updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using Navicat Premium we can import a huge amount of file data into a database table without any lag this is the awesome feature of this application that I like very much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a paid tool, you can only use the 14-day trial version of this application and then after you have to purchase a licensed version to use further this application this is little bit disappointing for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Navicat is that it can connect to many different types of SQL databases. Personally, I use it for MySQL and Oracle databases and it is super easy to work on them. Directly changing values inside databases seems the biggest advantage that Navicat has. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Navicat needs a manual refresh to see all the changes. This is especially time-consuming when you need to add many tables in a short period of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think that the best part of Navicat is that shows all table data right away. With only few clicks you can edit and commit changes to the database. This is its strongest side. In addition to this, Navicat easily integrates itself with almost any SQL applications. In my case, I use it on the MySQL database and its works flawlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the speed is its biggest weakness, its biggest competitor, DataGrip, performs much better because by default it does not show all the table data and specific SQL queries are needed to make changes in Databases. I think that Navicat Premium lacks performance but it over-compensates with stability. To me, Navicat is just better alternative to all SQL IDE-s Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I want to start my review with a bit of my background. My formal programming and database management training dates back to the early 90s and I used very little of those skills for many years following university.

In 2014 I took on the management/development responsibility of a not for a profit website. Needless to say I was more than rusty and the search began for a tool that was easy enough for a beginner and still powerful enough for advance DB management. In 2015 I found Navicat and my life went from sinking fast to success over night. There was nothing like it at the time and bet there still is not. I haven’t looked elsewhere as there is no need. In less than an hour I was set up and had fixed problems in that evening that would take days without this great tool. It was so easy to use I almost couldn’t believe how fast I could fix things and I found myself going to the site to verify things were corrected. They were.

I had to move our site several times since then and Navicat made that process very easy as you can open several databases on many servers at the same time and work between them seamlessly. I use Navicat almost daily now for everything from backups to table maintenance and everything between. Navicat is a tool I will not live without. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish I could sort a table without having to pull all the data for the sort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Navicat is very easy to use, it has integrated all the main functions, like insert, grant, delete, and others. It has a userfriendly interface. I also like that you can change the cell in table without writing queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that it has not suggestion like Datagrip has, it would be great for Navicat to have this feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
