"We use your product Navicat
2004 for our reporting. We have heterogenous types
of data base. Therfore we need a product that
can import and export various data formats. Navicat
is strong in that function and it has a good query
handling. Especially the query builder helps me
to save time.
Navicat has a good user interface
and it has perfect multitasking usability.
It helps very much for our department
to generate new reports.
Thank you for that nice tool.

"Navicat is very important for us to manage
our MySQL databases. It is quite
easy to use and has very powerful features as,
for instance, the query
builder.
The features we use most are the backup and queries,
also in relation with
the scheduler. A nice-to-have feature would be
a mailer function where, for
instance, a result of a query could be sent to
a specific user."

Navicat is approaching the functionality
of MS Enterprise Manager.
Using Navicat, it is essentially
a breeze to manage MySQL. In fact, recently we
upgraded our server software to 10.3.3 -- this
upgrade also upgraded MySQL to the latest version.
In the process, the data in the databases was
corrupted. Fortunately, before upgrading to software,
we used Navicat to backup up our databases. With
the backups and Navicats, we were able to restore
all of our databases back to their original condition.
Navicat is easy to use because
the menus and tools bars are very clearly label
and designed. We have never had a problem with
the software crashing or corrupting data.
A GUI interface that provides
complete functionality for configuring and using
MySQL. What might take hours with the command
line, Navicat can accomplish in seconds.
Perhaps Navicats greatest strength
is it's ability to manage users and permissions
and import/export data.
The software was easy to download
and install. Even with a university purchase order,
we were able to order and install the software
within 24 hours (counting the time for our internal
procedures).
The online documentation is clearly
written and easy to access. In fact, our main
Navicat user commented, "It is so easy to
use, you don't even need documentation."
Thanks for delivering and excellent
product. It is going to save us tons of time and
time is money!

"There are two major
reasons for my purchasing Navicat. First, I am
using it to transfer a database from MS Access
to MySQL, and Navicat makes the transfer between
software engines extremely simple, better than
the other options I explored.
Second, the interface for dealing with the database
is straightforward, easy to use, and powerful.
It is convenient to use to begin to implement
SQL code, for example. "

We have recently begun
using MySQL to support web based inquiries. We
were looking for an efficient way to move data
from our test server to our production server
without having to write and test a lot of scripts.
Navicat does an
excellent job and as an added bonus, we can use
the export function to convert data into other
formats for specialized use.
The XML conversion was
particularly impressive. We have not implemented
the backup function yet but preliminary examination
suggests that it " will also be very useful."

We have tried many different
software to manage our MySQL databases in the
past, however only PremiumSoft Navicat came out
on top. Once I download it as a trial I knew I
had to purchase it for our company. The time it
saves us managing our databases is unavailable.
The backup features and how simple it is to use
can not be compared. I recommend PremiumSoft Navicat
to everyone I know. Keep up the great work guys!!!

PremiumSoft Navicat has solved several problems
for me. My biggest problem was database backup.
With Navicat automated backup is extremely easy.
I just scheduled a backup job to run every day
using Navicat and the problem was solved.
Table design and alterations are a snap with
Navicat . New tables can be constructed in a fraction
of the time it used to take. The export feature
of Navicat allow me to export data in a form that
can be used on Palm Pilots by my employees. User
management is very easy with Navicat . Adding,
deleting and setting privileges is easily done
with a few clicks of the mouse.
Customer support for Navicat is very good. My
email questions were quickly and accurately answered.
Overall Impression
I have tried many other fine programs, but PremiumSoft
Navicat is by far the best. Ease of use and the
list of features make it my choice for MySQL administration.

I wanted to let you know how pleased we are with
your software. I am the Website Manager for a
State Government Agency. I recently converted
all of our web application data to the open source
data server, MySQL. We needed the capacity of
MySQL but we also needed a User Interface that
our staff could readily use without the expense
of training. PremiumSoft Navicat gives us that.
Most of our data is in Microsoft Access or MS
SQL Server. With Navicat importing and exporting
data from and to those formats is very easy and
requires virtually no additional training. Moving
to new technology is often intimidating to people
but once I demonstrated Navicat to our staff they
were pleasantly surprised.
I personally use much more of your products functionality
such as Scheduled Back-ups, User Management, and
general database creation and management but in
my opinion the import/export functionality alone
more than justifies the purchase of Navicat .
Navicat truely makes it easier to administer mySQL
than any other product I have tried.

Our group needed a low-cost SQL server solution
off-site UCSF. MySQL was the primary candidate.
However, me being a statistician and not at all
familiar with MySQL or the SQL server idea, I
needed to learn quickly and efficiently to get
our server on-line. Since the MySQL administrator
was difficult to work with, I looked for a front-end
that would make my job easier. PremiumSoft's Navicat
did the job beyond my expectations.
Usually, my test of whether a product is good
is the minimal use of the documentation. My test
of an excellent product is not having to look
at the documentation at all. Navicat is an excellent
product and I have yet to look at the documentation!
Navicat 's strengths are (obviously) its ease
of setup and use. I've dealt with software since
my junior year in high school (1981) and know
a good product when I see one.

"At the Alsco,
Inc., We have used several products to administer
our MySQL databases used in our I.T. Department.
Most have come up "wanting" for add'l
features until we found PremiumSoft's product.".
"These are the strengths of Navicat --"
- Easy to manage multiple connections
- Access to MySQL databases across the WAN is
very quick and efficient compared to other products
- Designing and updating table structures is
much easier than comparable products (additional
fields can be inserted and deleted without redoing
the entire table structure)
- Provides an "easy to use" import
and export wizard (for Excel this is great)
- User administration interface is excellent
- Reporting tool looks promising (have used
it minimally so far)"

"We have numerous
databases running on many different platforms.
We are currently migrating many of our SQL Server,
and MS Access databases from a Windows environment
to a Linux/MySQL environment. Administration of
the MySQL databases was slow when I had to do
it all from a command line."
" I recently downloaded
a trial of Navicat and within an hour knew it
was a product I couldn't do without. I purchased
a full copy, have used it almost daily, and have
recommended it to many others in my field. It
is by far the best product of its kind on the
market. And the price is much lower than I would
have expected for such a robust feature rich product."

and am still amazed at how great it is and how
much time it saves me."

American
Geological Institute
BASIC USAGE - "At the American Geological
Institute, we currently use Navicat to maintain
databases on the activities of academic geoscience
departments worldwide in an effort to evalute
the health of our discipline. With such a variety
of tasks and several MySQL servers, we were looking
for a management solution that allowed us to quickly
deal with multiple servers and rapidly extract
custom queries, as well as prototype data model
changes in our existing and developing applications."
OUR EXPERIENCE - "Navicat solved a couple
key problems for which we purchased it. First,
we were looking for an efficient front-end to
manage our 5 MySQL servers, particularly for rapid
database and table creation as well as account
management. We have used a number of the other
MySQL admin products available, but Studio's approach
was efficient and intuitive, especially in user
management. Also, the ability for us to move seamlessly
between our different MySQL servers is a dream,
as each is charged with specific projects, but
often we are juggling requests and needs in a
rapid-fire sequence - so the ability to move between
servers instantly is awesome. A couple things
which we have grown to love about the product
is the visual query builder and the multitude
of import and export options. With the ongoing
problems using myODBC and Access, having an Access-like
visual query builder has enabled us to prototype
complex queries fairly easily, and perhaps even
more important, has represented a great learning
tool for staff to become comfortable with the
constructs of SQL and how databases work. By showing
our non-technical staff how queries are built
and then the equivalent SQL, they have actually
been able to better assist in the spec'ing of
new data needs and providing better formulated
custom query requests -- which has saved us time
and money."
PRODUCT DELIVERABLES - "From the standpoint
of a physical product, Navicat was the first product
that our company allowed us to purchase for download.
The process was painless and we believed improved
the economics of the solution. To date we have
had no need for documentation as Navicat is rather
intuitive, and has generally stuck with well established
process approaches. The support has been extremely
good, with update notices emailed directly with
links to download and active the updates. So far,
from a customer service perspective, the use and
maintenance of Navicat has been one of the most
pleasant products we currently use."

Ph.D., Director, Comm., Development, and Tech.

Before, I was at a loss as to
how to access our Mysql information stored on
our webserver. We had a Penn State intern that
developed a website for us last summer to document
Right To Know information. It was an information
site that quizzed employees on sections of information
and when completed, they would submit to the website
their name as having completed the documentation.
When the intern set up the site, she used Mysql
because it was easier for her to work with than
MS SQL for web development. I knew she did this
and assumed that I could view the information
with a tool in Mysql. Unfortunately for me, that
is not how it works. In order to extract the table
info in a similar manner that SQL uses, I stumbled
on your product - Navicat. I had the demo version
up in running in minutes.
It did everything I needed it to do in a simplier
way than by using text type tools. I purchased
two copies so that we can use it with other Mysql
databases that we want to deploy. The purchase
was simple, and the product is now up and running.
Since we need to develop additional databases,
I am sure it will help us make that management
much easier. Thanks.
