What users say about DbGate?

Adam Chehade
The most useful feature has been the table creator, it really makes creating complex schemas with relationships and indexes simple and user friendly. DBGate is a genuinely awesome database manager, carried me from junior to senior, passion projects to corporate management. I would recommend it to anyone who has to interface with DB’s, it’s simple, has tons of features and frequent updates so if it can’t do it yet then it surely will be able to do it soon. I didn’t migrate from anything as I was lucky enough to land on DBGate as my first database manager and at this point it may very well be my last.

DbGate impressed me with how practical it is. In a single web interface I can connect to multiple engines (PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, SQL Server, SQLite, and more) without switching tools or context. The UI is clean and predictable, with tabs for queries, results, and schema—so the daily loop is fast: write SQL, run, filter, sort, edit rows, and export to CSV/JSON in seconds. The learning curve is minimal: open the app, add a connection, and you’re working. The query editor feels snappy, and managing schemas (tables, indexes, views) is straightforward. For teams, deploying via Docker and exposing it on an intranet is a big win: consistent experience for everyone, zero fiddly installs. What I value most is the balance: DbGate is light enough for everyday tasks, yet complete enough to cover 90% of development, support, and operational analytics needs. Less friction, fewer windows, more focus on the data.

Petr Bazgier
As a developer, I especially appreciate the speed, simplicity, and clarity of dbGate—everything important is right at your fingertips. It makes it easy to work with data, edit it, and visualize it clearly. Working with MongoDB and SQL databases is natural and convenient. I would never go back to older, more cumbersome tools.

I’ve been using DBGate for several months now as my go-to database client, and it’s quickly become an indispensable part of my workflow. As someone who juggles multiple database systems like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite on a daily basis, I appreciate how DBGate streamlines everything without overwhelming me with complexity. First off, the ease of use is a game-changer. Setting up connections is straightforward—just enter your credentials, and you’re in. No convoluted configurations or steep learning curves here. Querying data feels intuitive, with features like auto-completion, syntax highlighting, and a built-in SQL editor that makes writing and executing queries a breeze. Whether you’re importing/exporting data, browsing tables, or running scripts, the process is smooth and efficient, even for beginners. What really sets DBGate apart is its nice GUI. Built on Electron, it has a clean, modern interface that’s visually appealing and highly customizable. The dark mode is a lifesaver for late-night sessions, and the tabbed layout keeps everything organized without clutter. Visual tools like the ER diagram viewer and data grid editor add a layer of polish that makes database management feel almost enjoyable. It’s open-source and free, with no hidden costs, and it supports a wide range of databases out of the box. If I had to nitpick, I’d say advanced enterprise features might require plugins, but for most users, it’s perfect as is. Overall, I’d rate DBGate 5/5 stars—highly recommended for developers, analysts, or anyone tired of clunky database tools!

I’m genuinely impressed with how well this works. After a long search, I’ve finally found the most suitable solution. In the past, I relied on a desktop SQL client to manage my database, which meant constantly launching and closing the application. Now, I can easily modify and manage my database directly without the hassle of using a desktop client every time.

I use DbGate mainly to learn and practice SQL. I chose it instead of the default MySQL tools because it feels more intuitive and beginner-friendly. I like the clean interface, the ability to work with multiple databases in one place, and the SQL editor with syntax highlighting and autocomplete, which makes learning much easier. Compared to MySQL Workbench, DbGate starts faster, uses fewer resources, and feels much lighter overall. One thing that could be improved is having more built-in tutorials or example projects for beginners, as well as more detailed documentation for advanced features. Overall, DbGate is a great choice if you want to learn SQL or work with databases quickly without spending time on complicated setup.

DbGate is generally well-liked for being lightweight, open-source, and supporting both SQL and NoSQL in a single, clean interface.

DbGate is a surprisingly awesome app. It is fast, feature rich and easy to use. Some simple features help a lot, for example: Column selection, Pinned Tables, Query history, Plain DB navigation… The autocomplete is fast and works. The DB Compare tool is excellent, exactly what I needed.

I recently shifted my workflow from Windows to macOS, and one of my biggest challenges was finding replacements for Windows-only tools—especially SQL Server Management Studio. Many SQL clients gave me issues with Kerberos and integrated Windows Authentication, but DbGate worked right out of the box. Since then, it’s become one of my go-to tools. DbGate is lightweight, open-source, and runs seamlessly across Windows, macOS, and Linux. I love that it lets me manage both SQL and NoSQL databases in one place—running queries, editing or visualizing tables, and handling imports/exports is all super straightforward. The plugin system also adds a ton of flexibility. At first, I had to adjust to the interface after years of SSMS, but now it feels natural and has become a permanent part of my toolkit. Simple, powerful, and reliable—DbGate saves me time every day. I’d highly recommend it to developers, DBAs, and anyone in need of a versatile cross-platform database manager.

As a software developer who recently switched to Linux from Windows, I’ve been trying to find a good free to use DB client with all the essential features. I stumbled on DBGate and it’s been great so far. It has all the features I need. Export option in multiple formats is my favorite.

I mainly use DbGate to manage PostgreSQL databases. It’s part of my daily workflow for editing records, running queries, and making occasional schema adjustments. I especially appreciate the support for connecting to Amazon RDS using IAM authentication, which makes managing secure access much simpler.

What I like most is that it’s an open-source tool with a clean interface, support for both table and form editing, and quick import/export options (CSV, JSON, Excel). SQL autocomplete and query history are also huge time savers.

Tried dbgate after my subscription of dbeaver student license finished recently. I wanted an open source software that mirrors functionality from among the others database management tools. After having used it for some time, I like it’s fast processing, snappy UI and flexibility of connecting to mariadb and mongodb. Would definitely recommend!

As a SQL & NoSQL Enthusiast, DB gate is an versatile application and it has become an essential tool in my workflow. Its speed, simplicity, and thoughtful UI make it a joy to use—from schema design to data export. While heavy-duty DBA tasks might require supplementary tools, for most of my development and analytics work, DB gate hits 90% of the mark with just 10% of the friction.

DbGate is an outstanding database management tool! Its clean, intuitive interface makes it easy to navigate and manage multiple databases efficiently.

The query designer and data visualization features are top-notch, saving me tons of time. Plus, it’s open-source and actively maintained, which is a huge bonus. Highly recommend DbGate for anyone looking for a powerful yet user-friendly database client

Been using DbGate for about half a year, working on MySQL. It’s awesome for quick database connections and tweaking schemas without messy tools. The interface is clean, and I like the dark mode and tabbed setup. It works smoothly on my Windows laptop and syncs well. Exporting data to CSV is a breeze. It’s a solid, free tool that just works. Would love a bit more MongoDB support. DbGate’s simple and awesome—totally recommend! I considered DBeaver, but it felt bloated, and TablePlus, which was slick but pricier.

I have been using DBGate for a couple of months. I have always been a fond supported of DBeaver, but was looking for something with a more straightforward and less cumbersome UI. I needed a well organised, easy to use experience as well as functionality that gets the job done, and gets right to the heart of whats needed with ease. DBGate really works very well indeed, and definitely delivered what I was looking for. I would thoroughly recommend it.
