"Complete software that makes my life worse"
What do you like best about Navicat Premium?

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.

What do you dislike about Navicat Premium?

Maybe just a redesign of use for non-relational databases like MongoDB. A different visualization option, a graphical explain.

"Navicat Premium 16"
What do you like best about Navicat Premium?

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

Navicat 16 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.

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 16 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.

One of the brand new features that is sure to enhance your database development is a Data Generator. One of the problems with creating a database from the ground up is having real data to test with. With Navicat 16, 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 16.

What do you dislike about Navicat Premium?

It is on the expensive side compared to similar applications.

What problems is Navicat Premium solving and how is that benefiting you?

Navicat Premium makes it very easy to manage my databases of all types in production and my local development environement. It just works. I have never experianced any bugs with the software.

"The easiest way to navigate in SQL tables"
What do you like best about Navicat Premium?

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.

What do you dislike about Navicat Premium?

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

Recommendations to others considering Navicat Premium:

Navicat is a great application that lets you navigate through SQL databases with ease.

What problems is Navicat Premium solving and how is that benefiting you?

I do not need to write long queries to make specific changes to the database. Everything is pretty straight-forward and easy to understand. Navicat premium allows me to be more efficient when it comes to database administration and management.

"Best Database Tool Out There"
What do you like best about Navicat Premium?

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.

What do you dislike about Navicat Premium?

I wish I could sort a table without having to pull all the data for the sort.

Recommendations to others considering Navicat Premium:

They have a fully functional 14 day trial. That's all you need to get hooked on it.

What problems is Navicat Premium solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can fix problems like pointing and shooting at fish in a barrel. The biggest thing for me is the time this tool saves
