"Easy Data Handling with Helpful ER Diagrams, Exports, and Admin Tools"
What do you like best about Mysql workbench?

It’s easy to work with a large amount of data in a simple table format, and you can also visualize those tables as an ER Diagram, which is very helpful for finding the links between tables. The user management tools, server logs, and the ability to export the database in .sql format are really handy features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mysql workbench?

If you have a large number of tables, doing reverse engineering and creating an ER diagram isn’t possible automatically—you have to do it manually. I really hate that. I struggled a lot because of it, and the ER diagram page is very small, so you can only fit a maximum of about 10–15 tables.

Also, when you open a table it automatically creates tabs, and you have to close them manually. Sometimes it’s hard to find which tabs are still open, especially when you’re working on a query.

Changing the font size is also really complicated. I had to search online just to figure out how to do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All-in-One MySQL Workbench for Queries, Schemas, and Visual Design"
What do you like best about Mysql workbench?

What I like most about Mysql Workbench is how convenient it is for managing databases and running SQL queries during development. I often use it to connect to the project database, inspect tables, write queries, and debug data issues. The visual interface for browsing, viewing schemas, and executing queries makes it much easier to understand the database structure compared to relying only on command-line tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mysql workbench?

Sometimes the interface can feel a bit heavy when I’m working with very large data sets across multiple connections. However, it still provides many useful tools for harvest management, and once you get familiar with it, the workflow becomes very comfortable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
