"I can make many basic database adjustments I need with phpMyAdmin"
What do you like best about phpMyAdmin?

The light file size is something I really like about phpMyAdmin. It's a no frills kind of program that gets right to our needs and doesn't embellish the interface with unnecessary design elements that could slow down the program. phpMyAdmin can help me to access all of the MySQL data I need to get to that might not be easy to access through other means. The search feature helps to quickly find data in all of the rows. I also like being able to save the data for export into other databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about phpMyAdmin?

Working only with the search and replace tools in phpMyAdmin won't always do the trick when trying to properly update data in WordPress installations. You'll have to be familiar with the specific formatting and naming conventions of WordPress in order to properly update certain database items. So in order to update certain data without breaking your installation, you should use an separate data replacement tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Allows users to have more control over web data"
What do you like best about phpMyAdmin?

phpMyAdmin makes database management easier by providing fields and forms that are more straightforward to use than executing code to access that data. There are search and filter features that are familiar to most simple software like spreadsheets and other common data organization programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about phpMyAdmin?

It can be dangerous to use phpMyAdmin to modify data if you're not an experienced user and don't have a good understanding of data structures and how they relate to the functionality of a website or other digital asset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Create and Update your databases easily and graphically"
What do you like best about phpMyAdmin?

Creating databases and tables is relatively easy once the learning curve is overcome. For people who do not have a great command of SQL, it is a very interesting solution. You can perform absolutely all maintenance tasks on your databases without the need to use SQL but without giving it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about phpMyAdmin?

I think they should improve the interface, as on one hand it is not entirely user-friendly and intuitive, and on the other hand it is not responsive, requiring horizontal scrolling on certain monitors, which is annoying and uncomfortable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic database management tool!"
What do you like best about phpMyAdmin?

phpMyAdmin is offering the easiest database editor ever made, you are able to change values of rows just by clicking on the specific data you want to change, the UI is really user friendly and easy to understand.

phpMyAdmin is web based and can be accessed from anywhere so if you are having issues with data you able to change it without problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about phpMyAdmin?

UI is kinda old and needs to be more modern to the current website designs, materialize would be awesome! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best friends of LAMP developers"
What do you like best about phpMyAdmin?

Great product. There is a small learning curve to protect the admin page by editing the associated PHP file. You can also manually enter MySQL instructions, so experts don't feel limited. It has been around for a long time and is quite stable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about phpMyAdmin?

However, this is a matter of personal preference and may not be an issue for others. Furthermore, the options themselves have been changed. Again, this is a frequently used feature for me. Removal of Empty and Suspended tabs from table navigation - Although I appreciate that these are not technically navigation options, burying them in Operations was not the correct move.

"Excellent software to manage mySql"
What do you like best about phpMyAdmin?

phpMyAdmin, although not completely necessary, is a great addition to any developer's toolkit. It is a super easy and user-friendly interface for handling databases. It has all the main features, such as database, tables, functions, and user creation. This can save a company a lot of money by not having to purchase expensive software licenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about phpMyAdmin?

Sometimes, user management becomes very complex. It is not very fast, so when you need to operate directly on the db, you need to have time. Of course, this also depends on the server's connection and configuration. PHPMyAdmin is a tool that is difficult to integrate into existing environments. It comes with many pre-configured packages and works well, but when you need to integrate it into an existing infrastructure, it is a bit difficult. The interface as a whole is not really suitable for multitasking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A key tool for managing website database information"
What do you like best about phpMyAdmin?

I think the interface of phpMyAdmin is mostly simple in design, which makes it easy for me to find different sections and use. I like how phpMyAdmin warns the user very clearly before performing drastic actions that could adversely affect the performance of our website. The search tools make it easy for me to find data quickly compared to using front end type of methods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about phpMyAdmin?

The functionality of phpMyAdmin hasn't changed much over many years and many versions. It think it does a solid job at providing access to website databases, but if there were more intuitive visual administrative features or alternative layouts, I think that could benefit many users, especially those with limited database experience.

"excellent database manager for beginners and expert"
What do you like best about phpMyAdmin?

I have been using phpMyAdmin since I started in web programming and I have always used it since then as a beginner and then as an expert with more than 10 years working on web products. It is very easy to use and helps to create databases, create tables and manipulate by means of inserting, modifying, deleting some field or data from a table, also executing SQL queries simply saves us having to use the console to execute these commands since with this manager we can with just one click execute all these and many more functions like create users and give privileges saves work makes it easier and much more friendly and in case its installation is very simple is more with packages like Xampp we can install it and be able to handle when we lift the service through this package or through others that exist Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about phpMyAdmin?

This database manager is perfect simply simple intuitive easy the only thing that can be improved is its graphical interface although this is an advantage because people like me who always use it have known it for a long time and always have the same interface and It is very intuitive and easy to use although it can be a disadvantage because it does not attract people in the visual although it is a matter of taste because if it works and does the work that is required, it should not matter the visual, although for me it can be improved and this would be more striking to us as users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A data management system that allows us to make detailed content adjustments"
What do you like best about phpMyAdmin?

phpMyAdmin works well with many web hosting accounts regardless of the types of frameworks they're running. I like the organization of files in the left column that allow me to quickly navigate to particular databases with just a mouse click. phpMyAdmin provides the user with a full range of data regarding the database installation. We can see the file size of particular content and track down data easily with filtering tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about phpMyAdmin?

When we need to replace data, we often have to drop the existing data first, which isn't ideal since the dropped data can temporarily cause websites to crash. phpMyAdmin can be dangerous to use even when the user knows what they're doing. If data isn't backed up and we need to replace critical rows in a database, we can cause big problems if key data is removed and we don't have a backup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best MySQL Database Manager"
What do you like best about phpMyAdmin?

A simple web based management tool for MySQL with all the functionalities included to easily edit and create data and tables without any line of code.

Having a remote access to your MySql or MariaDB servers is one of the biggest advantages of having phpMyAdmin.

You can also do some custom processing with browser transformation, which when browsing the data allows you to have the power to make custom transformations.

Lastly, it is free and open source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about phpMyAdmin?

Updates are not automatic, they are manual.

I'd also like to see a software version. That'd could be cooler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
