Chose MySQL Workbench
It's like comparing a VW to an performance car like a Ferrari. If you need the performance, bells and whistles you'll want PhpStorm. If you just need to get from one place to another, MySQL Workbench will do just fine.

phpmyadmin is way better only when local database is concerned but MySQL Workbench is way better then SQLyog because of the more cleaner UI and cost. SQLYog does not have any open-source featuring whereas MySQL Workbench has open source edition with lot of good free features. …

Chose MySQL Workbench
I found Azure UX easier, menu items are more obvious, but it still also requires preparation to use.

Well suited to a team working directly in the physical modeling space.

It works best when you need to create basic queries or manage an simple MySQL schema. For more complicated data modeling, I'll use another tool. You can't beat the price though.

  • On the Mac version, quitting always throws an exception. More of an annoyance but still. This should have been fixed a long time ago.

DbSchema does a number of things very well, but is not as full featured as many customers will want

Quite complicated. It's unrealistic to use without prior preparation (guides on youtube or colleagues' help).

Some of the other Tools are no longer supported, and DbSchema is much less expensive than most of them.

phpMyAdmin is way better only when local database is concerned but MySQL Workbench is way better then SQLyog because of the more cleaner UI and cost. SQLyog does not have any open-source featuring whereas MySQL Workbench has open source edition with lot of good free features. So MySQL Workbench is powerful than SQLyog.

  • It provides good features and saves the time.
  • When we use remote server, we can connect without using ssh etc. so saves the time and easy to understand.
  • Do not have to write the queries to check the schema, so saves the time.
