"Great database tool."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Sequel Pro?

Sequel pro is a software based on being a high performance data manager that allows me to determine my projects with agility and with more precision on the subject due to their cooperation of information in the general tables of the platform, its interface provides me a stable connection and knowledge of the system that mentions functions that include its prolonged costs of considerable good taste, determining what attracts me the most, its budget.

What do you dislike about Sequel Pro?

It can be taken into account that an automatic system for the completion of intermediate queries is absent, which causes a performance that is not so efficient for the laboratory, in other related terms, they are modes that are already mostly blocked very often and at random, which causes it to be harmful for users of the Software, highlighting that it can be slow to have this type of event in the system.

"Your search for the best GUI client ends here."
5/5
What do you like best about Sequel Pro?

Mysql is one of the most widely used database software in the world and sometimes using the command line interface (CLI) can be bit of a hassle as the select command's native display does not offer much eye candy, but using Sequel Pro lets you visualize , sort, filter the data found in SQL tables easily. If one is using Sequel pro, there is no need for users to wrangle with complex and messy SQL commands. The most favourite feature in sequel pro is the ability to import and export build databases, they give multiple export and import options like CSV, SQL file XML etcetera. I love the fact that you can connect to both local servers and remote servers. Not many Sequel database management programs are available for MAC and so Sequel pro has a monopoly in the MAC GUI client industry. The application has never crashed on me. The best part about sequel pro is I do not need to pay anything to use it. They have a git repository and all the code is available to fork and modify, it has a healthy developer ecosystem and if any bugs are raised, they are tended to in timely manner.

What do you dislike about Sequel Pro?

They do not have a linux or windows version. This is my biggest pain point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Perform simple assignments with Sequel Pro"
4/5
What do you like best about Sequel Pro?

Sequel Pro is great as it allows us to create and manage new databases, as well as edit certain areas and options. We are also able to work with raw SQL when server and database management is required. With the particular queries processed and prepared to use, Sequel Pro lets you have many databases open. It has an impressive interface where you can see tables and columns for relationships in tables rapidly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sequel Pro?

Sequel Pro often crashes, especially when you're opening and closing more than one link tab and when it is just opened in the background randomly. Also, sometimes it's hard to set up MySQL with Sequel Pro, so I have to make some manual changes to the database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"work with business data framework and APIs with Sequel Pro"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Sequel Pro?

Sequel Pro is free and open source. It has a wonderful UI and the function to link to a number of servers easily. It includes functions and SQL commands to optimize our workflow. The functionality compresses performance is able to support several export types, including CSV and SQL. Also, the multi tabs and windows are simple to use and are able to handle multiple attachments or same connections, as well as saving or restoring MySQL server utilizing SQL export method. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sequel Pro?

Certain queries run very slowly until they just stop, and sometimes it drops spontaneously with no particular reason. Also, I would like to see Sequel Pro supporting various database systems such as NoSQL and I would like it to be able to do auto format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Coordinate your servers' tasks efficiently"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Sequel Pro?

Sequel Pro is safe and open-source. One of Sequel Pro's main tasks is to build a table or server Interface, frameworks and data models. This is a life saver, besides it is intuitively modified easily. There are not unnecessary advertising, which makes usability more fluid and your work more successful. Also, you are able to handle several sessions and accounts of clients, as you can open various connections in multiple tabs simultaneously. The Skins and themes are good functions as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sequel Pro?

I think it should have a compatibility option with other phones in our servers or links. Honestly, I think Sequel Pro still needs to be more accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simply awesome tool for exploring tables and building queries"
5/5
What do you like best about Sequel Pro?

Sequel Pro has a simple interface that is great for the beginner but also robust enough for the intermediate user. I'd imagine it's good enough for any Pro user as well. Quickly test code, save snippets, review your query history, explore tables, quickly switch databases. It really does have everything you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sequel Pro?

Since upgrading to Mojave the program will crash if I close a tab. Honestly, though, given the price I'm not going to complain. Other than that it has been an amazing tool to use. I prefer it over solutions that you pay for, not because of price, but because of performance. I'd pay for it if I needed to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
