An easy-to-discover tree panel to classify features/objects on left (with context menus if you don't know what you're doing). Tabs panels for ins and outs on right. That's it. See More

pgAdmin 4

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

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. See More

RickZeeland's Experience

Not an improvement over pgAdmin 3, sadly even older versions of PostgreSQL are now bundled with pgAdmin 4. See More

Specs

Technology:Python, Javascript

Platforms:Windows, Linux, Mac

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

Easily add multiple tabs

Top Con

Bloated

900MB installed, and for an unintuitive, and feature-lacking software. 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 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. See More

Top Pro

Open source

pgAdmin is open source and actively contributed to. See More
