Engineer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 11/17/2021 "Extremely Pleased with this Database Management Tool" 5/5 What do you like best about dbForge Studio for MySQL? I have found that dbForge has let me manage database tables and product data very well. The fluent user interface is truely a pleasure to work with compared to other tools I have used. The autocomplete for fields and figuring out your joins based on table relationships save you in both time and correctness. There has been very little that I have had to do that I could not get done in dbForge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about dbForge Studio for MySQL? I wish that I had a tool even half as good for DB2. I have databases on multiple servers, and while I really respect DB2 for IBM i as a database engine, its user interface tools are not at the level of dbForge for MySQL. A hypothetical dbForge for DB2 would be a joy to work with compared to what I am doing now. Whenever I have to jump to another tool, there is always a letdown where some feature is not there: running multiple SQL statements, flexible import/export, etc. You might say that dbForge has spoiled me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is dbForge Studio for MySQL solving and how is that benefiting you? I use it for bulk data updates, replication between production and development servers, improved business intellegence, and troubleshooting anomolies. We have MySQL as the backend of a customer-facing quoting portal, and dbForge has been the primary way for me to keep the data clean and well-functioning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
