Professional tool
This is a good and stable tool with really good and useful functionality: import/export, SSH tunnelling, fast searching, duplication, DDL visualization etc. If you are a professional, don't complain about the pricing. If you're an amateur, maybe this isn't for you.

Specs
Top
Pro
Supports multiple languages
DataGrip is not a language-specific IDE. It supports a wide variety of languages by default, such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Derby, H2, Sqlite, and many more. You can also specify your own JDBC drivers to get support for additional platforms.
See More
Top
Con
Performance can be slow/sluggish when working with high-volume databases
As with all other IDEs, DataGrip is powerful and thus requires more resources than usual. It can use up to several GB's of memory when working with high-volume databases, and this has an impact on performance if your system is not equipped to handle it.
See More
Top
Pro
Much more powerful than its counterparts
DataGrip is a full-featured IDE for working with databases and SQL. It includes commonly found features in database clients, and offers IDE-specific features beyond that β version control, autocompletion, refactoring support, etc.
See More
Top
Con
Not user friendly
For incompetent users that do not have any idea what they are doing this, and any similar product will not seem user friendly. For nearly everyone else this is yet another amazing IDE from the JetBrains family; a must have!
See More
Top
Pro
Beautiful and customizable UI
DataGrip currently provides two theme options, light and dark. The UI is intuitive to navigate and provides powerful features such as a diagram view of table relationships.
See More
Top
Con
Expensive
This is an annual subscription with tiered pricing that diminishes a small amount year over year. But there are other much cheaper or free alternatives. This is the premium priced product of the bunch.
See More
Top
Pro
Helps you avoid mistakes
It can catch SQL bugs and suggest ways to resolve them. It will inform of unresolved objects and the use of keywords as identifiers.
See More
Top
Pro
Refactoring support
You can refactor SQL code with DataGrip β it resolves all references automatically and when an object/variable is renamed, you can choose to update all references to it in your project.
See More
Top
Pro
Powerful data editor
A powerful data editor lets you add, remove, edit, and clone data rows. Navigate through the data by foreign keys and use the text search to find anything in the data displayed in the table editor. All your changes are stored locally and can be submitted at once. Multiple fields can also be edited at once.

Pro
Version control support
DataGrip supports a wide variety of VCS tools out of the box so that you can edit, test, and commit changes without ever leaving the tool.

Excellent code completion

pgAdmin4 is a web application. The native binary is a wrapped version of the web app that runs a webserver and web browser, thus it has a high memory footprint and other possible impacts on system resources a native application wouldn't have.

Tabbed views to accomodate different screen/window sizes
The tabbed browser in pgAdmin 4 is excellent for accomodating different screen/window sizes.

If you're on a big screen, you can make full use of your screen estate by detaching the panels and moving it where you like.
