"Convenient tool for data extraction"
What do you like best about Mysql workbench?

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.

What do you dislike about Mysql workbench?

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.

"Efficient and user-friendly database management with MySQL Workbench."
What do you like best about Mysql workbench?

One of MySQL Workbench's unique advantages is its extensive collection of tools and features that make database maintenance jobs simple and efficient. First and foremost, MySQL Workbench's graphical user interface (GUI) is simple to use and intuitive, making it simple for inexperienced and seasoned users to browse and utilise the programme. The well-organized layout and aesthetically pleasing design increase productivity and shorten the learning curve.

A selection of potent tools for database design, development, and management is provided by MySQL Workbench. Users may easily construct and alter database schemas using the visual database design tool, which visually presents tables, relationships, and constraints. Database design and modelling are significantly streamlined by this functionality, saving time and effort.

Another noteworthy feature Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mysql workbench?

While MySQL Workbench offers many great features, there are a few areas where it could be improved. One aspect that can be frustrating at times is the performance when working with large databases or executing complex queries. The software might experience lag or slow response times, particularly when dealing with extensive datasets or running resource-intensive operations. This can hinder productivity and lead to delays in completing tasks.

Another area for improvement is the documentation and online resources available for MySQL Workbench. While resources and tutorials are available, the official documentation can be lacking in detail and clarity for certain advanced features or scenarios. Additionally, the community support and online forums for troubleshooting and seeking help can sometimes be limited or less active than other database management tools.

Furthermore, MySQL Workbench lacks cross-platform compatibility to some extent. Although it is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, the user experience and performance may vary across different operating systems. Some users have reported inconsistencies or compatibility issues when using MySQL Workbench on specific platforms, which can be frustrating for users who work across multiple environments.

Lastly, the software could benefit from more frequent updates and bug fixes. While MySQL Workbench has been a reliable tool for many years, there have been instances where specific bugs or issues have persisted for extended periods before being addressed. A more proactive approach to releasing updates and addressing user-reported problems would enhance the software's overall stability and user experience.

Despite these limitations, MySQL Workbench remains a powerful and widely used tool for managing MySQL databases, and its strengths often outweigh its shortcomings. With continued development and improvement, it has the potential to become an even more compelling choice for developers and database administrators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"MySQL Workbench is a beauty in query"
What do you like best about Mysql workbench?

First of all the UI of MySQL Workbench attracts me every time I open it, because it has very minimalistic UI that every user will like it definitely. According to me the most helpful thing about this the Information tab of tables. We can see the details of the table by just clicking on the table name. The information like which column has Primary key or any constraints, what data type has the column etc. The export database backup with data and import that is very easy in MySQL Workbench. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mysql workbench?

When there is multiple darabase and I've opened multiple table from multiple database then from tab name it is not possible to indentify that the table belongs to which database. Now that's makes a confusion. There should be indication of database with the table name in the query tab and in the Schemas section there aslo should indication that which databases are connected.

"Reviewing Mysql workbench"
What do you like best about Mysql workbench?

Graphical user interface (GUI): MySQL Workbench offers a GUI that enables users to interact visually with the database, making it simple to manage and create the database structure.

Database modelling: The programme includes a modelling tool that enables users to design and edit database schema diagrams that can then be shared with other team members and saved.

Editor for SQL queries: MySQL Workbench's query editor feature makes it simple for users to write, test, and debug SQL queries. It includes features like syntax highlighting, code completion, and other tools to speed up development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mysql workbench?

I find MySQL Workbench's graphical user interface to be laudable, although some users may find it disorganised or perplexing.

I have had trouble utilising MySQL Workbench with other database systems or programmes due to compatibility concerns, as several other users have reported.

According to my experience and some other customers, MySQL Workbench is resource-intensive and consumes a lot of system resources, which can slow down other processes or applications using the same system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"MySQL for Database"
What do you like best about Mysql workbench?

When I started to learn about databases, my teacher told me to choose MySQL because it's straightforward to understand. It has many great features and functionality for database.

The best thing I like about MySQL is that it is portable and can be used on many different platforms. Also, if I am stuck somewhere, I can quickly get help while googling the problem.

One thing that I appreciate is their support; they respond to tickets very quickly.

Replication and automatic backup are among the best features I have used in MySQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mysql workbench?

Poor performance with complex queries: MySQL struggles with complex and large queries, thus affecting its performance and slowing down our application.

As far as features are concerned, I wouldn't say I don't like anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
