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!

User friendliness and security were the main concerns. Also, there is a always a perception that foreign products / or products developed by the MySQL company are given more preference rather than a 3rd party. But SQLyog Enterprise proved this cliche wrong. Earlier we were using phpMyAdmin which was web-based. So we decided to use the SQLyog Enterprise for a year in order to understand the feature it is providing. As we are still your customer from last 3 years, itself it defines that we like your product. The best part of this product is that it comes up with updated version. The SQLyog Enterprise in this year has evolved into very competive product. Better management of database and access control. Also with the latest version of directly exporting the data into excel.

I don't normally reply to this kind of inquiry, but SQLyog Enterprise has wildly, inexpensively changed the way we deal with MySQL databases in development and production. We stumbled onto SQLyog two years ago in a search through the thick slime of buggy, half-implemented MySQL GUIs that seems to cover the Internet.

The Community edition of SQLyog was a breath of fresh air, so the (very low) price of entry to the Enterprise edition never gave us pause. SQLyog Enterprise immediately became a vital part of our development environment. The Structure Synchronization Tool helps me keep all our development databases up to date, and makes deploying schema changes to production a pleasure. Deployments of MySQL schema changes take minutes to prepare instead of hours because of the Structure Synchronization Tool. The Scheduled Backups tool allowed us to get an interim backup solution running in production in minutes.
The index management tools and query timer have made optimizing complex queries accessible to even junior developers. The Structure Synchronization Tool allows me to review their indexing changes quickly and integrate them into the master schema in moments. Thanks for giving the world such a good product!
