MONyog is the best out-of-the-box GUI monitoring tool for MySQL that I have seen. It "just works." As promised, getting up and running quickly is easy, and having a centralized location for monitoring is very useful. The graphs are beautiful and the statistics that are graphed are useful time-savers.

The biggest difference between MySQL's Enterprise Monitor and MONyog is that MONyog is agentless. At Pythian, we have many clients with differing security requirements. Requiring a daemon process to be running is not something we currently do, and it might be a hard sell for some clients. Even if every client was amenable to it, making sure the daemon is up and running on each MySQL server is tedious. Note that agentless operation works for every feature, including log analysis as well as operating system statistics.

MONyog has literally taken the guess work out of managing our MySQL replicated cluster! Thank you Webyog!

We were looking for a product that will let us manage our database servers from every location. Our sites must be really secure so the databases server is only available from the web servers. A web based tool can be used, but brings extra security risks. Besides our production servers we have a remote testing environment with only SSH access. Without using putty with tunneling there is hardly any tool for accessing the database servers. So we were looking for a secure, client side including SSH support management tool for our databases.

After we tested the community version we noticed that SQLyog offers a lot handy features. Besides the "normal" functionality for querying and db actions, the export functionality is really valuable for our customers. We have got a lot of action/marketing sides with registration forms. The customers would like to have reports and besides giving them a "hand made" tool for getting these results by an url (again a security risk) we have an excel / xml export for them in a couple of seconds. Also one of the features that we often use is the migration and copy functionality between hosts. With our testing environment we often want to set things up on our live environment. So we don't have to create SQL scripts and run them seperate on the live servers, but we just copy them with SQLyog Enterprise. Right now we use 5 licenses of SQLyog, we have shared our connection file, because we have a lot of db's with different users/passwords so we set them up once and shared the file. We use the tool day by day and gives us as a developer all the tools for seeing what's going on within our databases. Also the support is very good. When we decide to buy SQLyog Enterprise we had one issue within the program, we asked this in the forum and within a day there was a solution that was implemented in the next version. A very happy customer from the Netherlands.

SQLyog Enterprise has saved me an immense amount of work. Unlike any other data migration tool out there. I work with several different online web collaboration and content management tools. These all require database integration. SQLyog Enterprise allows me to manage all the databases from one interface across my web sites and web hosts from one place. An amazing and priceless tool. The backup and copy capabilities along with quick customization, query building, and fine tuning makes SQLyog Enterprise number one with my Macromedia/Adobe toolset.

I really thought it was only going to serve me slightly and would have to use phpMyAdmin for most of the work. Honestly? Relieved. I am a visual person and a nuts/bolts person. I like to fine grain my needs but if it's a simple operation, I want point and click simplistic. Altering a table is so crazy easy. Copy data from table to another is super easy. In a nutshell, SQLyog Enterprise makes my life easier. My time. Literally. Something that takes 1/2 hour in phpMyAdmin takes maybe 10 minutes now in SQLyog Enterprise. No kidding. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! Wish you can apply your smarts to a web site management tool that allows me to manage multiple websites from one place. Maybe that could be your next adventure!
