PB Paul B. Database Administrator / Web Interactive Programmer Government Administration Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 9/8/2016 "Great for queries, not so good for maintenance" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Navicat Premium? Navicat is GREAT for querying multiple flavors of SQL in the same program. It is also the best program available that will allow you to access MS SQL Server from a Mac. Connecting to the various servers is simple, and running queries, executing and writing stored procedures, and other data-related processes are very simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Navicat Premium? Anything maintenance-related: backups/restores, user account permissions, and data migrations are either impossible with Navicat or so hidden that I couldn't figure out how to do them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Navicat Premium: It's not a replacement for the tools from your favorite SQL vendor, but it comes pretty close. Works great for simple data tweaking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Navicat Premium solving and how is that benefiting you? Accessing a MS SQL Server, MySQL Server, and an Oracle server from a Mac. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CEO Information Services Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/12/2016 "Making database administration easier!" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Navicat Premium? Navicat Premium is very good for developers this making database mangament easier. I using this every day for mangament databases. Navicat Premiuim offers very easy interface for databases. WIthout some functions of Navicat i can't work. You can manage multiple databases with multiple database engines in one program. It's easy and good for not expirenced users with SQL language. Why it's very good for Developers? Because you don't must spent much time for write SQL books for create table or another thing related to this. And i like the Navicat Cloud! In two words Navicat Premium is good software for database mangament for multiple databases and multiple database engines like MySQL, MariaDB, MSSQL, PostgreSQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Navicat Premium? The licensing system of this software is isn't good for multiple platforms users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Navicat Premium: I recommend this if you don't have very good skills with command line or MySQL Workbench Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Navicat Premium solving and how is that benefiting you? As a developer dealing with multiple projects, I have a single place to easily connect to client databases and synchronise changes with local copies of the database for further development. Navicat has also been instrumental in the past with a project requiring data from multiple databases of different types (mssql and mysql) to be pooled together, processed and then pushed forward to a publicly accessible database online. Navicat facilitated this and was even able to be scheduled to complete the task on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Frontend Developer Information Technology and Services Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/30/2016 "Database modelling and management made easy" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Navicat Premium? A very intuitive interface and some great hidden gems (like scheduling queries and data transfers) make Navicat a great tool for any developer dealing with multiple databases on a daily basis. The modelling tool, which you can then use to synchronise schema changes, can simplify and help organise the development process for a project. Data backups are easy to do, and the query builder (with queries you can save) is so easy to use you barely even need to know SQL. Finally, the ability to save multiple connections and use ssh tunnels makes this product really stand out against the competition Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Navicat Premium? The interface has a tabbed layout when you have multiple queries/tables open, however you are unable to rearrange these tabs and if you accidentally remove a tab it creates a new window which you can no longer put back into the old tab grouping. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Navicat Premium: A very easy to use solution with some features that make it very worth it compared to the free equivalents out there. The price is very reasonable as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Navicat Premium solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can manage my local environment databases and remote databases also. Navicat has cloud sync feature that i love very much as because i don't have to worry for reserving address and usernames all the time.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Navicat Premium? Database table or fields collation system has to search the entire name and then it appears. The bottom next/ forward button, sometimes confused. SQL extension files import feature is unavailable within Import Wizard. It has to be click from execute SQL file.

I like their synchronize feature very much, it let's you synchronize database structure and data from one host to another simply and accurately. No tension of data lost or data mismatch. Another thing will be I like they support all major databases and their cloud feature. I can work with any database I want MySQL, SQLite, MSSQL, Oracle and many more.
