Pros:

On the whole, dbForge Studio for MySQL is a full-featured database management tool that provides everything we need to efficiently manage our data and the entire database. Its user-friendly interface and intuitive design facilitate efficient database management, streamlined data analysis, and reporting. The option to generate queries visually and automate repetitive tasks has had a positive impact on our workflow and increased efficiency.

Reasons for switching to dbForge Studio for MySQL

Although Navicat (for MySQL) served us well for some time, we found that dbForge Studio for MySQL offered a more comprehensive set of features. The seamless integration with other Devart products and the responsive customer support were also decisive factors in our decision to make the switch.
