Navicat Premium vs InterSystems IRIS: Which is a better fit?

This is a great tool to help visualize databases and various database functionality. You can utilize pretty much all popular data sources with this application.

It is very costly to purchase the Navicat Premium that accompanies full highlights.

The graphical interface is very beautiful and attractive, it makes the work pleasant, it is very intuitive, which allows discovering new functionalities as the tool is used.

Ideally, it should try to reconnect after and continues from where it stopped, but it doesn't. Again, this is the only con I have agaist Navicat and maybe this couldn't be the tool's fault.

The query builder is just amazing, it helps you to build a query by just using drag-n-drop, which would be your final query or at least be a good base for a cumbersome query.

We need in-depth knowledge of database operation and the attention that a database deserves, always making copies before changes that can lead to data loss.

Most important it has simple UI and it's very easy to use. It has visualisation of tables connections which is one of the best features of Navicat.

It would make mobile modification and manipulation more attainable.

The software is very fast and easy to use. The documentation is very good and it has a lot of good information.

And others that were lost because of the broad range of possibilities not finding their way.

Even if you only need to work with text files or handle thousands of http requests IRIS will provide great performance, monitorig tools and superb stabilty.

Unless you configure the admin settings properly at the beginning , you'll get a lot of permission restrictions later on and dealing with those can be frustrating.

Easy to manage the data and analyse, its very good for the one who need to analyse the big database data and it support all kind of database.

The look and feel, I miss some interaction between classes and the business process fields. You need to copy paste classes to the fields instead of a rolldown in some cases.

Eventually we can use this as a database and integration engine as well. I really recommend this wonderful product.

Using Cache Object script can be a pain as the error codes can be quite difficult to work with and the Studio IDE lacks some ease-of-use features.
