Overall Satisfaction with Sequel Pro
Sequel Pro is used as a database management interface at our company. It's used widely across engineering, and it's a good access point for engineers, product managers, etc. It is a versatile tool for peeking into databases and being able to view the tables and db schema from a top down prospective. Makes it easy for both technical and less technical people all the same.
- Easy to understand interface
- Very versatile; it is powerful to both the beginner, and the expert
- It makes it easy to navigate across various databases on different servers
- There's not much missing, the tool is pretty complete
- There could be an easier way to setup ssh tunnels that require using different keys
- It would be cool if the console was more customizable
- Makes it easy for people across engineering to peek into the database autonomously
- Provides an easy avenue for people to demo database changes
- Makes it easy to modify values in the database when testing
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 though, it works great.
