Overall Satisfaction with DataGrip

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use DataGrip daily for simple queries and complex reporting. I use it map out new tables/columns and to create new indexes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Browse tables and the data
Export data
Create, modify tables

Cons

An easier way to have a pool saved queries that can opened quickly

Return on Investment

Less time to develop database structures
Easy to filter and find data
Export data for reporting purposes

Perfect other than a way to handle saving and re-using queries. A simple/better way of creating a pool of queries for each project or database connection would be very helpful. It is not bad now, just could be a better. I have used Navicat for MySQL in the past it had that feature. It could save all your queries to the cloud and you could use them on any device.

Alternatives Considered

Navicat and MySQL Workbench

I think it blows away MySQL Workbench hands down. Workbench does have more functionality when it comes managing the MySQL instance, viewing performance etc. Navicat is ok, it might be better for new database develoopers. I stumbled upon DataGrip cause it came with jetbrains development tools subscription. I tried it out and it has been my go to for several years. now.

I am a software engineer mostly, but am the default DB admin/developer as well. This tool has been very helpful, especially since it is part of the jetbrains development tools. It makes creating/updating tables easy. Can create indexes especially easy. It allows us to browse filter and export data in a great interface that is easy to use.
