Yeah, navicat is great! It's just for a small time developer / student, the $1,299.00 price tag is not really enticing. I'll gladly pay for a subscription model like adobe cc.

  Dunno if it's still offered anymore, but Navicat Premium Essentials was a decent value - you buy a small base and add the features you want on top with IAP's. I didn't care for any of the diagramming / data modeling stuff so I just bought the base plus a couple add-ons. Of course, I just use DataGrip now, but if you want Navicat see if Premium Essentials is still around as it may work for you.

    I tried DataGrip when it first came out but found it lacking in some areas. I'm sure much has changed since the first release but are you wishing there are any features in Navicat that should be in DataGrip?

      The notable missing features are the synchronization tools, beyond that I haven't found anything of import missing. The data modeling tools in IntelliJ/DataGrip aren't anything to write home about, but I rarely use them (I've always just busted out Visio or LucidChart for UML/relational modeling when I have to do it). For my own work use I really have no choice but DataGrip, it's the only database utility that supports DB2 for i, Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL - all of which we use heavily at work. But also being a heavy user of other JetBrains products (IntelliJ, ReSharper, PyCharm) having a familiar interface is a huge positive over Navicat since all of my keyboard shortcuts work the same and I only have two different (VS vs IntelliJ-based IDE) ways I have to remember how to do code snippets instead of three.

        Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the two. You might find Vertabelo [1] useful and possible replacement of LucidChart & Visio for db modeling. [1] http://www.vertabelo.com/ http://www.vertabelo.com/
