    Sequel Pro
    Considered Both Products
    Open Source
    Chose Sequel Pro
    DataGrip has much better support for other database types and is a modern design. I also love Quercus, which is on the same level as Sequel Pro, but is a much more modern design with a few cache optimizations to make it faster.

    Chose Sequel Pro
    MySQL workbench is good to work with MySQL databases, but Sequel Pro gives us the ability to work with any SQL databases. It's open-source, lightweight and solves the problem that I am required to solve to run the DDL and DML queries.

    MySQL Workbench: Sequel Pro is lighter, simpler to use and faster
    TablePlus: Sequel Pro is free while Table plus is not

    Chose Sequel Pro
    I found Sequel Pro through Google and downloaded it because it was free. I haven't used many other Mac-based solutions. You may need to open multiple windows to find the relationship between tables. Other software has better visual aids to help assist with this.

    Chose Sequel Pro
    MySQL Workbench is a wonderful tool, but the routine editing of existing data is note nearly as straightforward as it is in Sequel Pro. The ability to sort a data view with a single click makes Sequel Pro my definite choice.

    phpMyAdmin is pretty ubiquitous, but the routine …

    It's so much easier to use, it's the perfect balance between something deep enough to manage and customize databases, but it's easy enough to get into really fast.

    Free is a huge selling point, but beyond that it's secure, powerful and easy to use.

    Chose Sequel Pro
    The UI design of Sequel Pro is to help people whose work is not typical coding heavy but still data dependent. It stands out for its target users.

    Chose Sequel Pro
    I've only ever used MySQL commandline (haven't tried any other GUIs for sql). Though I like Sequel Pro a lot, I just prefer using the terminal when doing DBA stuff on production databases because I can be sure of the commands I execute. For the test environment, and development …

    Chose Sequel Pro
    Sequel Pro has a fully functional free version which is fast and unlimited. None of the others let you get to your data as quickly and directly as Sequel Pro does. With the exception of the default tools provided by MySQL, Sequel Pro is probably the client that remains most up …

    Open Source
    It's a great tool when building the software, the ability to add SQL and No-SQL databases. Very convenient to write the queries and generate the filtered data we require. Gives the ability to export, import databases of various formats and generate reports from them. It might not be suitable if you want the data to be seen in a visualized manner

    Pros
    Open Source
    • Table filters are simple and easy to use
    • I love the ability to install plugins: Export tables to Laravel migrations is one of our most used plugins
    • Super easy to connect to local Docker containers, Vagrant and remote DBs through SSH

    Cons
    Open Source
    • It crashes CONSTANTLY. If you have more than one connection tab open and close one of them, it crashes. If you just have it open in the background, it randomly crashes. If you're using it, it randomly crashes. When you try to send a crash report, the CRASH REPORTER CRASHES.
    • Can be a bit slow.
    • No way that I'm aware of to query multiple databases in the same query.

    It is easy to use, but the design could use updating as it's very dated.

    It's open-source and very convenient to work with. I can easily import any database I want using a data dump and runt the queries on them to derive the data insights on the data. I might want to use Excel to visualize that, that might be one of the disadvantages.

    Return on Investment
    Open Source
    • The user interface is great. Since all of our computers are macOS based, we can all use it and share knowledge with our colleagues
    • It enables me to make things in such a faster way that it enables us to spend our time with coding and providing more solutions to our clients
    • The workflow is much improved with the import and export feature, so we don't waste time with that kind of work.
