After trying a lot of database and GUI tools(Table plus, Pgadmin, Azure data studio, etc), Dbgate has become my go-to tool for a few key reasons. First, the interface is incredibly intuitive, allowing me to accomplish tasks with fewer clicks. Features are placed exactly where you'd expect them to be, which really speeds up my workflow. Another significant advantage is its snappy and responsive performance; it feels lightweight and fast, without the lag I've experienced with other database clients. The product is very stable and performant. Connecting to various databases, including managed ones on Azure, is straightforward and hassle-free. I often work with JSON fields, and dbgate makes it simple to view and edit this data directly. Query management is very well thought out. The ability to save and organize my frequently used queries and view history is fantastic for staying organized and quickly revisiting past work. What Could Be Improved: 1. It would be helpful to have more advanced ways to manage database credentials. For instance, allowing a password to be sourced from a command/script would be a great addition. 2. Lack of a Performance Dashboard: Currently, if I need to monitor database transactions, I/O, or active connections, I have to rely on other utilities. Integrating a dashboard for real-time monitoring of a remote database's health and performance would make dbgate a more comprehensive, all-in-one tool. Pgadmin has some dashboards and it doesn't require you to install any extensions.
