"Straightforward, solid database software"
What do you like best about Sequel Pro?
It is cleanly organized and straightforward to use. Doesn't feel cluttered compared to some other database viewers/editors. Been using this for many years, and the core functionalities are solid. Overall, it performs the main database tasks correctly and reliably, and the everything is sized just right to view all the data easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Sequel Pro?
It is no longer maintained, so it has some bugs, such as a crash after closing, not supporting the latest mySQL, a few glitches in MariaDB, etc. However, compared to its sequel (Sequel Ace), some of the core functionalities are still more reliable - for example, no internal mistakes in selecting the wrong database, no random freezes when trying to load a database, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great database management softward"
What do you like best about Sequel Pro?
Sequel Pro makes tasks that usually require a lot of effort via the terminal or more cumbersome applications very easy. It also makes managing multiple databases from multiple sources quite simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Sequel Pro?
The interface is pretty dated. It seems it hasn't been updated in a long time, but at the same time, it works, so why change it. Though it would be nice to have a more modern interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use SQL visualizer"
What do you like best about Sequel Pro?
The best UI you can get for the SQL tables with the list of features that lets you do any sort of SQL operations with the proper analysis on the structure, indexes, and everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Sequel Pro?
The main issue I have faced is it crashes when you even close the tab and asks for sending a crash report to the makers, which is annoying in every sense for me as it keeps on happening again and again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
