"Great to save data"
5/5
What do you like best about phpMyAdmin?

What I really love about phpMyAdmin is that it has a great user interface. Everything is clear. You can execute/test queries before going live/production. PhpMyAdmin allows saving a great amount of data. And it works great with other CMS such as WordPress. phpMyAdmin is also very secure. You just need to worry about how to write your SQL code. It is also easy to learn, people can learn how to use it very fast Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about phpMyAdmin?

I wish it could have some schema visualization. PHPMyAdmin could be complete if you could draw some diagram. Then, export those diagrams and share with your team. I also don't like that sometimes is kinda slow, especially when you try to get a big amount of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

" database manager"
5/5
What do you like best about phpMyAdmin?

It has an intutive web interface, serves as a reference for the creation of phpgadmin, is under license gnu gpl that allows us the free distribution, modification and use, you can import data from cvs and sql files.

This application will allow us to perform basic operations in mysql database, such as: create and delete databases, create, delete and alter tables, delete, edit and add fields, execute sql statements, administer field keys, administer privileges and Export data in various formats. The function of exporting data is used many times to make backups of the database and to be able to restore this backup in the future through phpmyadmin by means of the "import" option.

What do you dislike about phpMyAdmin?

I dislike that it isn't bug-free (is any program?) one of the major problems i have is being denied access to certain databases because i don't have the credentials. The problem is, i own the sever so how would i not have the credentials? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PhpMyAdmin great tool for database management."
5/5
What do you like best about phpMyAdmin?

It is very easy to install and manage, the professionals in the database sector, the vast majority say that phpMyAdmin is rubbish, I think quite the opposite, it has a community of developers behind it that inspires confidence, it is always updated and by default with "Xampp".

What do you dislike about phpMyAdmin?

PhpMyAdmin leaves much to be desired in the visual department; it's not a very attractive product compared to other database managers. The good thing about PhpMyAdmin is that it is simple but fulfills its function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
