Studio 3T vs Navicat: What are the differences?
Developers describe Studio 3T as "The professional MongoDB GUI". It's the only MongoDB tool that provides three ways to explore data - Table, Tree, and JSON View - alongside powerful features like query autocompletion, polyglot code generation, a stage-by-stage aggregation query builder, multi-format import and export, SQL query support, and more. On the other hand, Navicat is detailed as "A comprehensive DB tool for MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, SQLite, Oracle and PostgreSQL development and management". Powerful database management & design tool for Win, Mac & Linux. With intuitive GUI, user manages MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, SQLite, Oracle & PostgreSQL DB easily.
Studio 3T belongs to "Virtual Machine Platforms & Containers" category of the tech stack, while Navicat can be primarily classified under "Database Tools".
TMV, Parabol, and Rosenblatt Securities Inc are some of the popular companies that use Navicat, whereas Studio 3T is used by The North 40 Outfitters, Shelf, and Powersports Auction. Navicat has a broader approval, being mentioned in 9 company stacks & 11 developers stacks; compared to Studio 3T, which is listed in 9 company stacks and 7 developer stacks.
We were looking a tool that would allow us to do MySQL and PostgreSQL development/administration from a single tool. We decided on Navicat Premium because it can connect to MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQLite databases - and simultaneously. It's also compatible with Amazon RDS and Microsoft Azure, which we also use.
Moreover, we previously experienced the occasional freezing and crashing in MySQL Workbench. It also suffered from a poor design, with certain features being a bit difficult to find. Meanwhile, phpMyAdmin lacked schema visualization tools and seemed better suited to lightweight day to day transactions than some of the big jobs that we needed to do.
