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 — 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 — 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.
See More
Top
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.
See More
Top
Pro
Excellent code completion
DataGrip's code completion is context-sensitive and schema-aware code completion. It will take into account tables structure, foreign keys, and even database objects created in your code.

pgAdmin 4

Experiences
Pros
6
Cons
7
Specs
Top
Con
Resource intensive
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.
See More
Top
Pro
Open source
pgAdmin is open source and actively contributed to.
See More
Top
Con
UI is slow
The user interface is slow, especially when interacting with query results. While queries execute fast, the user interface can lag behind — selecting a row from a table, scrolling through data, and performing other UI operations can have some delays.
See More
Top
Pro
Dashboard displays useful overview of server activity
The dashboard tab includes server load visualizations and other useful details on database activity, such as connected sessions, database locks, and prepared transactions.

Top
Con
UI for Mac is very different from other Mac apps
The file navigation seems homegrown and is very hard to use. It resets you to the root directory every time you open a new file browser. Actively frustrating to use.
See More
Top
Pro
Can be deployed on a server and accessed remotely from browser
As pgAdmin 4 is a web application, it can be easily deployed on any server and accessed remotely using any web browser.
See More
Top
Con
Bloated
900MB installed, and for an unintuitive, and feature-lacking software.
See More
Top
Pro
UI can be re-organized to user's liking
pgAdmin 4's user interface elements are detachable panels that can be dragged around and re-arranged to be displayed standalone or in the tabbed browser.
See More
Top
Con
Lack of a schema - sql option
See More
Top
Pro
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 small screen, the tabbed browser can save you screen estate by displaying the different panels in different tabs. 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.

Limited in scope
Being designed around building REST APIs and the fact that it's minimalistic with very few dependencies makes Falcon opinionated (you should build a REST API) and limited in scope (you shouldn't be using Falcon to build a news site, blog or ecommerce platform).
