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. …

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

It is good software when we have to connect the database of the remote server but it is not as good as phpMyAdmin. When local server is concerned, phpMyAdmin is way better because it has more cleaner UI than Workbench. Workbench is preferred only because phpMyAdmin does not support the connection of remote servers.

Cons
Oracle
  • There are a lot of menus, some of them aren't needed or users who only need to send queries. I had to watch a videos on youtube to learn how to use workbench. It would be great to have some videos inside software (or links to videos on youtube)

Usability

MySQL Workbench is useful for specifically remote databases. Remote databases generally does not have any UI and we have to connect the server via SSH and on CLI, we write the queries and it shows the data, which is quite tiering and more prone to make mistakes whereas MySQL Workbench provides cleaner way to connect and provides lot of tools, so that we do not have to write queries all the time.

Return on Investment
Oracle
  • 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.
