Sequel Pro has become an indispensable tool for our engineering department, allowing us to design, investigate, query, and manage databases on a daily basis. The intuitive user interface and powerful capabilities of Sequel Pro have made it our MySQL client of choice for administering databases. It effectively solves the business problem of providing a GUI-based client for managing and administering MySQL databases, which is preferred over terminal or web-based solutions.
Developers widely use Sequel Pro for accessing MySQL and alternatives like MariaDB, providing a more efficient and convenient way to perform basic to advanced tasks and queries. It simplifies database maintenance by making it easier to correct data errors in MySQL tables. We rely on Sequel Pro for querying data from test QA databases and testing certain elements when creating new features, ensuring data accuracy and correctness. Additionally, it serves as a versatile tool for building reports, queries, and basic SQL Server management across our engineering and product departments.
Sequel Pro acts as a database IDE, allowing us to create, update, delete, and view table schemas, contributing to robust and secure software development. The software is widely used as a database management interface by engineers, product managers, and other stakeholders who need easy access to peek into databases and view tables and database schemas. Users also rely on Sequel Pro for data analysis. By pulling custom data sets, they gain insights on products, customers, sales, and more. Furthermore, the marketing department uses the software to connect to the cloud database built on our Magento eCommerce platform and write custom SQL syntax. Overall, Sequel Pro has proven to be an essential tool that enhances productivity and efficiency in managing databases.
Users have recommended Sequel Pro for various reasons. They suggest giving it a try if one is unhappy with their current DB management software, as it is reliable, elegant, and free. Additionally, many users find it to be a lightweight solution for MySQL management on Mac.
Another recommendation is for beginner to intermediate users of MySQL on Mac. They believe Sequel Pro is user-friendly and highly suitable for those transitioning from PC to Mac.
Sequel Pro is highly regarded for its simplicity, ease of use, and efficiency in performing SQL operations. Users recommend it for tasks such as database searching, query writing, and adding databases quickly and easily. It is often considered a better option compared to other managers like phpmyadmin.
Overall, Sequel Pro is seen as a reliable and free solution for MySQL and MariaDB GUIs on Mac. While it may not be ideal for SQL administrators or running DDL scripts, many users consider it to be the best MySQL management software available for MacOSX.

(1-3 of 3)Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
Sequel Pro is used to query data from our system. This is usually limited to our test QA databases. It's also used to test certain elements when creating new features to ensure that data is being created correctly in the appropriate tables. It is used across our engineering and product departments today.
- Ability to quickly connect to a variety of databases.
- Ability to see the schema and data within the tables so you don't have to go looking for it.
- Theoretically, the ability to have multiple connections open in multiple tabs at the same time (see problems section for why I say "theoretically").
- Ability to write queries and have them execute locally.
- Quickly see relations between tables and rows in tables.
- 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.
- Unreliability has lead to wasted time and frustration among staff.
- The ease of testing database changes and modifying test data WHEN IT WORKS theoretically makes testing quick and easy but in reality, this is far outweighed by the wasted time and frustration involved with it not being reliable.
- The ease of seeing the relations between tables is very nice and saves time when trying to see how unfamiliar tables are connected.

Free, powerful and easy to use database management tool
Sequel Pro is used by our developers for accessing MySQL and alternatives like MariaDB. We work with many different clients and websites so having a GUI application that stores credentials for this database but also provides the ability to perform basic to advanced tasks and queries has proven far more efficient than using the terminal or web-based applications like PhpMyAdmin.
- Searching and filtering
- Connections over SSH
- Raw SQL when you need it
- Database and table management
- User management, credentials and roles
- Some queries can be slow and fail to stop
- Support for different types of database structures like SQLite or NoSQL would be awesome
- It's free. You really can't go wrong there.
- PhpMyAdmin, DB Browser, Base, MySQL Workbench and Querious
Free is a huge selling point, but beyond that it's secure, powerful and easy to use.
