I find the user interface to be much more intuitive than MySQL Workbench and other MySQL GUIs I've worked with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice if placeholders were detected and could be set. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't a lot of options for Mac but SequelPro is by far the best. I love having multiple tabs for different database connections. The raw SQL query tool is pretty nice with its keyword highlighting and formatting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A few things but not horrible... It would be great if I could use the table column filter with a join to another table when searching for columns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is by far the most simple and intuitive application. You can manage server credentials and group them as you want (like development, staging and production). You can use colors like you do on Finder folders. You can create tables, list and search for rows and also use the console. You can save your favourite queries to call them later on.

Another very good feature is the import which allows you to convert a spreadsheet or a CSV into a table. It's not just assigning spreadsheet columns to table columns, you can ignore some, create default values and even make your own expressions out of the cell data.

Another great feature is.. it's completely free! No trials, no ads, no call home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing much to dislike, apart from being only for MySQL (and MariaDB, an a-likes..). Also, it hasn't been updated for more than a year, but it's stable and you can do anything in the database server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simplicity and user experience is the best. All complex functionalities are wrapped in a usable and easy to understand UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of visual representation of relations between the database tables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited spacing customization for data (add padding, margins for rows/columns) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's the best SQL client for OSX. When I was a windows user, I used to use Navicat, and after switching to OSX I could not find anything like Navicat at all. And then one day I stumbled upon Sequel Pro and it was a dream come true. It's simple, easy to use, and efficient! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not have any issues with Sequel Pro. But it would be great if they had a "Theme" feature to switch between light and dark. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's fast, reliable, and easy to use. I can quickly bookmark connections, open multiple connections in tabs, import/export with no issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm sure its missing some advanced features that paid SQL tools would have, but it does everything I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is definitely the most pleasant and well-organized of any MySQL client I've used. Every schema object is easily accessible and important supplemental information, such as table size and index cardinality is displayed alongside the usual structural details. Sequel Pro is also smart enough to refresh the schema when you change it, either through the UI or with DDL.

The data table view allows entering NULL into a field. Some other clients I've tried either don't support NULL or require annoying contortions to set a field to NULL.

Disconnections are handled mostly gracefully and mostly transparently. "Mostly" is far and away the best handling I've ever encountered, and very nice when connected to a DB over an unreliable VPN link. Sequel Pro can also set up connections over an SSH tunnel, for shops with that setup, and this has worked quite well for me in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The table and column completion in the SQL editor is clunky and introduces mistakes more often than it helped me. I ended up disabling it. The SQL editor also has difficulty with complicated DDL syntax, such as stored procedures.

The data table supports only one filter condition. Supporting complex WHERE clauses with a simple UI just isn't possible, so I understand the limitation, but I like the data table and would be fine with a little more UI complexity in exchange for more power.

What I like the most of Sequel Pro is being able to have multiple windows open with different connections to databases, it makes it easy for me to manage multiple projects with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike is the database selection tab, it might seem weird, but I was used to having my databases displayed the same way as my tables, so it was unusual for me at the beginning. Another thing I'm not a big fan of is that it remains connected until you disconnect it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how the user interface is pretty simple. I can easily view my connections, tables, and any other additional information fairly easy. I've also enjoyed how it lets you save queries and how it has a history of queries that have been run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The application crashes very frequently. This gets annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
