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

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.

First of all, I have tried every MySQL Client that exists on the market in different platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac) but SQLyog Enterprise is the best MySQL Client in the world! Now I am using Linux desktop for PHP script development and I am surprised that SQLyog also works flawlessly with WINE.

The best thing about SQLyog Enterprise is the ability to access remote servers via HTML protocol by uploading a SQLyog tunnel file via FTP, which is indispensable for me when I need to install my PHP/MySQL scripts so I don't have to request access info for client's hosting control panels (which is very sensible) to be able to use phpMyAdmin all the time.

The only bad thing about using SQLyog Enterprise is, you will forget about using SQL commands because almost everything can be done via MySQL GUI!

SQLyog is the most popular visual tool for MySQL. It is well designed to support DBA and developer productivity. The full feature list is too large to include here, but here are some highlights:

• Code autocompletion to help you write queries more quickly
• The ability to connect over SSH tunnels to remotely hosted servers
• Visual tools and wizards to help with common tasks like building queries
• The ability to schedule tasks such as backups, data imports, and data synchronization
• Keyboard shortcuts
• Schema comparisons, offering access to properties of objects such as tables and views
• User management

SQLyog also has all the standard features you'd expect, such as a schema editor.
