Review on pgDash by Sean Davis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great alternative to working solely within Microsoft Management Studio

I like that it can be used from any computer, not just one with SQL Server installed or running in VirtualBox (as we have). It's really easy for new users who don't know how databases work yet! There are some things about this tool which could use improvement but overall very helpful as an all-inclusive database management program/toolset. We've been able solve many issues without having access directly into our server through SSH commands - great benefit when dealing remotely over VPN connections where connecting via command line would take too long if there were other tools involved such as installing software packages etc., especially since most people do NOT want their passwords stored locally so they're hesitant at first unless absolutely necessary.

Pros
  • The ability to run queries directly from the web interface and have it return results easy to use and very intuitive interface
Cons
  • Not a fan of the "queries" that are required to make things happen, sometimes takes forever and requires re running to try it again to get it to do what you want it to do
