Pragmatic Workbench (discontinued) vs. Sequel Pro

Workbench Enterprise is consistent across devices and users so far. It works the same, and access is easy. I have a problem with its security. If you use an enterprise password to access databases, it's very easy to click the show password on the connection page and expose the enterprise password. You shouldn't allow users to use the same accounts to access the database because that means all users are sharing the same password.

• Super easy for quick development and investigation
• The interface of exporting tables to SQL can be made better, it's not easy to manually check
• Not suitable for designing your DB
• Connections over SSH to vagrant and Docker hosted DBs
• Auto suggestion can be better

• Querying is easy and quick.
• Updating tables is very easy.
• It gives us very accurate error messages.

• Editing existing data. Editing record contents is trivial in Sequel Pro, while not nearly as easy in MySQL Workbench or phpMyAdmin.
• Deleting data - even simpler than editing data.
• Inserting new data - using "Duplicate row" then making needed changes is very simple.

• It has autocompleted, but I find it difficult to use or get to use.
• It doesn't automatically complete table names or field names.

• Improving the way we create new connections to remote databases
• I couldn't find any way to configure my local server (MySQL), so I need to make changes on server outside the application. I know that there are other tools that integrate it, so you don’t have to leave the workflow
• It could have a feature to integrate our databases or connections (favorites) with other devices, like using Google Drive or Dropbox. It would be really useful!

Our team does the support for us. Sometimes we see download related issues that can easily be fixed by our team. Most issues you will see with one user in your org will probably happen to others, so keep a log and track those issues. Then have a fix for them somewhere that everyone has access to. This will save you a lot of time troubleshooting.

It's open-source and very convenient to work with. I can easily import any database I want using a data dump and runt the queries on them to derive the data insights on the data. I might want to use Excel to visualize that, that might be one of the disadvantages.

MySQL workbench is good to work with MySQL databases, but Sequel Pro gives us the ability to work with any SQL databases. It's open-source, lightweight and solves the problem that I am required to solve to run the DDL and DML queries.

• I personally like Workbench Enterprise, and I can do everything I need to do using it.

• Unreliability has lead to wasted time and frustration among staff.
• The ease of testing database changes and modifying test data WHEN IT WORKS theoretically makes testing quick and easy but in reality, this is far outweighed by the wasted time and frustration involved with it not being reliable.
• The ease of seeing the relations between tables is very nice and saves time when trying to see how unfamiliar tables are connected.
