It provides enormous options to work on a database. Using and managing database servers while working with the workbench is easy. It provides options to connect to various kinds of servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Loading data into workbench takes time when loaded first time. Querying some complex commands also takes time as compared to linux or cli based queries. All over it is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can user MySQL workbench to add in scripts and seed or source database Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When making errors in scripting, the error prompts are not very helpful in understanding what went wrong Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides virtual interface to manage and design database. Drag and drop functionality makes work easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It uses higher resources when database is bigger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most is that I can create, execute and optimise SQL queries using It.

It provides the accessibility to architect the databases and visually designs. It includes model, generating and managing databases.

The best thing is I can use all these features from a single platform.

It gives me access to find unique solutions to business problems. It provides lots of database management tools and features to execute them easly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I don't like about It is that it's hard to operate the software and has a slow processing speed if the query size is large.

Although all the things work great, I like to use them and am also using them presently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MySQL Workbench is the most user-friendly GUI I have used for the MySql database. It is easy to manage the database even If you have not used the workbench before because of the UI and It also feature rich. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one thing i do not like about workbench is that it takes too much load while running and slowdowns the system. So you need your system to be on High specification side to run this tool smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the intuitive interface and the ability to process large volumes of data. Also, I like that the tool is free but does everything which more expensive tools would do. The training curve was very short. Basically, if you ever worked with a database you would be able to start with Workbench in a matter of minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I did not like the installation process. I made several mistakes; installation took 2 days!

I also dislike the fact that the tool is crushing. If I don't save my work quite often, I have to repeat all steps over again.

I imported a large volume of data from FDA site. Yes, I understand that I have to complain to the source - but the data sets had errors. Import just crushes along with the tool and it does not say why and where. I had to manually sift through millions of records using other tools to be able to delete bad records. It would be nice if the data cleanup facility be incorporated into the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can easily connect to many databases by sorting the connections in a group and adding many groups, reverse engineering the database to make a model is the best feature ever Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the interface is a bit old they should at least revamp the interface and make the features more understanding to new users, very old interface, there should be a help search bar through which I can search the features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is fast tool to do any changes from backend. It gives the result through sql query which makes it faster.

I have been using this tool since 2 years when I joined current project. The best thing I like about workbench is, it is fast to modify directly in database and it results quickly.

It is very easy to setup on the system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A bit bad experience I had was, during initial days I faced some problems in installing and getting it setup in my system. When I tried to get help from support, I could not get. Thereafter I found there was some issue in private key generation and importation. I did it through ssh key generator and which helped me in getting in configured.

It's a very good tool for database administration as well as designing, modeling, querying, structuring, and visualizing the data. I've used it in UniCenta POS for modifying some values which are not even changeable in the software itself. By using MySQL Workbench it's easy to view and analyze the data that has been encoded in the database and needs technical attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've encountered some downtime, crashes, and some bugs that I need to restart the Workbench. Some queries that need excessive usage and manipulation of a huge number of records can’t be halted sometimes. One needs to kill the instance via the Task Manager or the PID of the application via the command line interface. Probably it has something to do with the computer resources of the end user.
