Navicat for MySQL

Overall Satisfaction with Navicat

My development team uses Navicat to query data and to assist in writing queries to be used in our php codebase. It can be used to test and queries independently from the php logic.
  • Design Tables
  • View query results
  • User management
  • Save queries
  • Filter table
  • Save to external file
  • Assisting new employees with understanding our DB
  • Reduce debugging and testing time with being able to visualize data/queries
  • Allowing non-SQL users to execute queries to get real-time data.
Navicat is superior in allowing us to save complex queries and share them with other users. It is also better at administering the database. It also allows us to easily transfer data and structure to a test database server. This saves a ton of time when working on our dev environment to get access to fresh data.

Do you think Navicat delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Navicat's feature set?

Yes

Did Navicat live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Navicat go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Navicat again?

Yes

it is very good for someone who does not know the schema of the database. It allows one to visulaize the entire structure of the database and quickly parse the data. If you need to query a table with a simple where, the filter process requires too many clicks, simply writing the select query is faster.
