phpMyAdmin Reviews & Product Details

It's a free and open source tool with plenty of documentation, so it's easy to get started. If you don't have experience in MySQL, it has a user-friendly interface that will perform basic statements for you. If you do have MySQL expertise, it's still useful to review the structure of your databases in a straightforward GUI. You can also input MySQL statements manually, so experts won't feel limited.

Compared to MySQL workbench, which can be used offline, phpMyAdmin is web-based. This is a disadvantage for me; it could also be considered an advantage, though, as it renders the tool easily accessible from multiple computers. I have also found that MySQL workbench is better for data modeling, as the GUI is reminiscent of handwritten data models. However, this is a matter of personal preference and may not be an issue for others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a very intuitive User Interface and I have been using this software since 9 years. It is very stable and is easy to understand. The User Interface allows a user to monitor various database parameters like health and performance. I really like the designer view, where I am able to visualize and see the association among all tables within the database.

Data import and export is very easy, and there are options to filter the data based on some conditions. Data can be exported in multiple formats including Excel, CSV, etc. There is small learning curve to secure the admin page, by editing the associated PHP file. The best part, one need not be conversant with SQL to use this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's free, Open Source and fairly easy to install.

Extensive control over your MySQL databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You really have to know what you are doing, which is probably to be expected as a database has quite a lot of configuration options (users, databases, permissions, maintenance). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to define tables, data points, browse data, run sql, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

interface is outdated and not easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Graphical interface makes administration of MySQL databases a snap even for someone who is not a DBA. Response times are very quick and the tool is designed to guide people through some of the most common database tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Personally, I enjoy using this tool but I can also see how people would prefer bypassing it and just using the command line interface to run SQL queries directly and not have all the hand holding the application provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I took a database class in college and we learned some limited MySQL/SQL. Even with just that limited knowledge I can do whatever I need with phpMyAdmin. Freaking awesome software when it comes to noobs like myself! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I imagine it's tough to install... though I don't know since I've always used it in CPanel pre-installation instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I best like the web interface - I don't need to start any console apps nor, often, remember much SQL syntax Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that this shields me from the SQL syntax, and many tasks can be much more quickly performed from the console Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gets the job done. Pretty lightweight tool despite having many features, and it works well, simplifying the management of your MySQL databases. Can't beat the price (free). It's been around forever and is quite stable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you are familiar with MySQL commands, you may prefer just worrking directly in a CLI. The UI has improved somewhat over the years, but navigation can be a bit clumsy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
