Overall Satisfaction with MySQL Workbench

We use it to make various queries to our DB to get the data for analytical purposes.

Pros

  • Send queries to DB
  • Export results in csv

Cons

  • 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)
Quite complicated. It's unrealistic to use without prior preparation (guides on youtube or colleagues' help).
I found Azure UX easier, menu items are more obvious, but it still also requires preparation to use.
