"The best GUI to develop and maintain MySql databases with logic inside."
5/5
What do you like best about dbForge Studio for MySQL?

The developers of the GUI for DB were deceived by someone. They were inspired by the fact that a complete GUI should be able to create columns for a table, and it's best to do this in the Wizard. To work with data, it must perform export and import. And that's enough.

It's very good that the dbForge Studio team did not believe this.

As a result, the database developer quickly gained access to all (!) Types of database objects. For each type of object there is a special interface in which you can quickly change the object. There is everything for successful coding and debugging. In addition, there is an important tool for comparing data and source code between databases. In addition, you can customize hotkeys and interface according to your needs. All this allows you to work many times faster. And I'm silent about the special interfaces for monitoring sessions, access rights, templates, server settings and other things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about dbForge Studio for MySQL?

I, unfortunately, have no critical remarks, just minor - the existing functionality of the object's properties could be extended by the statistics obtained from the information_schems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5
What do you like best about dbForge Studio for MySQL?

I like the Query builder it help a lot for people like me who are not so good in writing query. It make me save a lot of time and avoid mistakes as well. I have just learn how to use MySQL and i thought it will take me a lot of time to get used it but db forge studio really is very easy to use for beginners. Without Db Forge it would have been very difficult for me to build reports from MySQL like i really wanted them to be and i was able to it successfully like a pro. The learning of db forge studio is very short i think all beginners should at least give it a try and am sure there will be no regrets Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about dbForge Studio for MySQL?

i wish db forge had a built in automatic backup for databases. the CMD command line batch file creation documentation not so clear. I was unable to configure it properly to do scheduled automatic backup. This my only disappointment with db forge studio. I have spent quite a lot of time trying to make db forge studio to make automatic backup work but unfortunately i give-up. I did not get any chance on this specific feature which is still very important for me to have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Complete toolset for mySQL"
5/5
What do you like best about dbForge Studio for MySQL?

The complete features, which are available. There is nothing, what I miss, when using dbForge Studio for MySQL. Also the auto-complete feature is extreme helpful. But the best, on this software is the possibility to debug stored procedures, what helps a lot, when something runs in the wrong direction Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about dbForge Studio for MySQL?

To be honest, there is not a lot, what I dislike. When to citissime something: The size adaption could be better. And the missing Integration into Visual Studio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best free SQL GUIs I've used so far"
5/5
What do you like best about dbForge Studio for MySQL?

Fast, without lags due to hanging connections (multiple connections are handled properly). Clean, partially customizable interface, very intuitive and easy to use. Plenty of functional panels providing the right tools to quickly access mostly needed information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about dbForge Studio for MySQL?

Nothing, really. Although the export tool could be quicker and allow for a higher number of rows to be exported for specific formats, it's still quite decent and fair for a free tool such as this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best MySQL Development and Administration Tool I've ever seen."
5/5
What do you like best about dbForge Studio for MySQL?

Most of all I like the graphical Interface to create new Database Objects. They are well structured and easy to understand. The colored classification of the Database connections in production or development helps to protect myself from errors. Database Comparision works very well and you can easily disable various checks. A other well working feature is the Debugger which saves lots of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about dbForge Studio for MySQL?

The price could be a bit cheaper, especially the renewal subscription. The Data editor should have an input field for a where clause. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
