In my use I liked of these great features like:MySQL code completion, SQL code formatting, Instant syntax check and MySQL Debugger

The interface still in old format like old ms office

Overall a fantastic product, superior to any others and a tool I cannot do without

Schema Sync is brilliant. Saves me an extraordinary amount of time.

Have not been able as yet to work out how to sync schemas to a remote unconnected PC

I use this product every day and have yet to find an alternative I enjoy as much.

I've used multiple database IDEs before and this one has been hands down the best overall product for functionality, ease of use and a sleek UI to contain it all.

The product itself is great, but it's extremely expensive, especially since you're purchasing it for a specific type of database instead of an all-in-one. Thy now offer that, but the price of the version for just the MariaDB/MySQL version alone is more that most if not all other competitors all-in-one solution. I purchase and you this because it's the best at what it does and I'm using it daily, but it's a lot of money for something that I honestly could be doing in a free workspace, just at a slower pace with less features. I also would prefer if they made a native Linux and Mac version where I wouldn't need to use something like Wine or CrossFire to make it work, as I use all major OS. It does work fine on all of them however.

It's very easy to use and has all the features that a database/software developer needs.

I have no cons. It works perfectly and I don't want to use another product.

This product is great, it's not as intuitive as the old MySQL GUI from years past, but it works and accomplishes everything I need.

Does everything I need for a gui interface to MariaDB.

Sometimes I have to relearn how to run queries, get the results, check errors etc.

We are currently managing databases for engineering the hardware that we sell as a company. This is a mission critical app responsible for significant revenue. Our overall experience with dbForge Studio for MySQL has been excellent! We are very pleased with it and plan to continue using it. The support for MySQL 8.0 was an important feature missing from our previous tool as it was no longer being updated when 8.0 was released.

We had been using Toad for MySQL for several years. However, it was discontinued and replaced by Toad Edge, which lacked many of the features of Toad for MySQL and became a paid tool instead of freeware. Upon discovering dbForge Studio for MySQL, we found it had all the capabilities we were looking for and closely matched Toad for MySQL in features. We found it very easy to make the switch between the tools and have no regrets with our decision to purchase dbForge Studio for MySQL.

I have no major issues with this software. It works as designed for me and is very stable. There were 2 features in Toad for MySQL I do miss:1) The background color of edit sessions could be set to match the color of the icon used only it was a lighter pastel. Thus, light red for production, light yellow/orange for staging, light green for development and light blue for sandbox. This made it so you always knew which environment your were working in without having to look up to check it. Several times I have executed queries in production when I thought I was in development. Fortunately, no serious issues. 2) Vertical tabs - I work on a lot of queries at one time and can have 20 or more tabs open at one time. Scrolling across the top, or using the dropdown is cumbersome. Locating the tabs to the left (or right) of the edit window allows for scrolling the tabs with the mouse wheel.

It really helps saving my time and efforts to complete my projects

I am using dbForge Studio for MySQL regularly and it is a very handy tool for me. Helps you to save time in wring long queries. With visual builder you can see and troubleshoot the results Recently I have been using data generation feature which is very hand to test my projects with dummy data before handing over to customer. The customer support if fairly quick and accurate

I don't see any major cons however the pricing of Enterprise features is a bit expensive for individuals and small companies

I love the auto completions, especially for join statements and filling in column names. The customizability of the keyboard shortcuts is also very nice.

My biggest pet peeve is the fact that it is not possible to disable auto-commit by default and at the connection level. Hence, I have had to put SET autocommit = 0; at the top of every script I use and execute it manually in every script window if I want autocommit to be off for transactions in that window.

Code completation Code formatting Debugging UI

New versions occasionally have performance issues. They strain the computer and freeze.

Fantastic! It is the best GUI for MySQL/MariaDB that I have used.

It never breaks. The import, export wizards save alot of time. The query autocomplete and error detection functionality saves alot of time debugging. Every advanced storage engines for MariaDB works with dbForge Studio for MySQL without any errors.

I can't think of anything that I don't like about it.

Our Company is making color masterbatches for the Synthetic Fibres Industry. We cannot operate with the standard BoM system because we have several recipes for the same color.We have a complex system using an official financial ERP software, Excel for recipe's calculation and pricing and a PHP front-end based on a MySQL database. We needed to get automatic and error-free communication among these systems. Add to this that we are based in Italy, and the localisation makes the usage of. csv files a nightmare.After trying unsuccessfully other software, finally DbForge for MySQL brilliantly resolved all our problems. After months of research and testing we can confidently attest that none of the competitors offers the same capabilities and tools at a similar convenient price.Lastly, communication with Devart people is easy and fast: they are very collaborative and helpful.

-The straightforward and flawless two ways communication with Excel: we can finally stop worrying about decimal separators and misrepresentation of zero and blank cells,-The quick and easy way to automate via command line the export/import from one database to another,-The ability to handle huge files providing very useful tools (SQL Editor, Quey Builder, Script, Pivot)

The online help could be improved showing more practical examples.

I can manage different databases on different servers, and even different MySQL versions. I have total control over my databases.

I used to have a MySQL 5.1 version, dbForge Studio has some bugs since it does not support 5.1. However, since I upgrade my database at least to 5.6 no problems.

I really do like this a lot – stuff that is a pain to do in MySQL Workbench is much more simple and quick in dbForge, which is moving swiftly towards being one of my ‘don’t want to be without it…’ tools. I develop (or lead the development of) custom x86 desktop and web apps in Xojo – all of which talk to MySQL or MariaDB databases on local Linux boxes or AWS cloud servers these days. I can spend less time getting the database structure and content how I want it, and more time working on my front-end code in Xojo. I also like having it open on one monitor on my PC, with Xojo IDE open on another, and the running app on a third. That way I can easily monitor the database contents as I develop and test – much better, faster and more intuitive than phpMyAdmin or MySQL Workbench.

Simplifies and speeds tasks that take longer and are more difficult in other tools. Lets me spend more time working on developing desktop and web apps and less time on dbAdmin/setup tasks

None. It installs cleanly and works as you expect it to.

All the features are in a logical place. Very rich feature set.

Some features don't work perfectly yet, like for example primary key identification in a view. Bugs are followed up quite well actually.

The product significantly improves productivity and saves up to 50% of my time.

- Data comparison and synchronization tool - Visual Query Builder - Debugger

It does not support Linux, everything else is great

Sviluppo e costruzione di database più veloce ed affidabile

Semplicità di utilizzo, controllo interattivo tra tutti i componenti del database, creazione della documentazione tecnica.

Sarebbe utile l'interazione diretta con Visual Studio

I have a large number (200 plus) databases that I manage and find DBForge an invaluable tool in my arenal.

I like the clean, understandable interface

Nothing! Everyday I discover something cool about the software.

DbForge has sped up my development time with prototyping data structures and building complex queries.

DBForge allows me to access databases on multiple servers and manage them from my desktop.

At times it can be slow initially loading the app but overall the performance is great.

Very good

Ability to manipulate very large databases and ability to compare databases to each other.

La manière dont fonctionne l'éditeur de table n'est pas hyper user friendly, surtout en ce qui concerne la gstion des clés étrangères et le paramétrage des colonnes
