I was already using SQLyog Community edition for a while, and thus got to see how good Webyog's support was. This is one of the major facts that made me feel safe with investing in both MONyog and SQLyog Enterprise - those products are constantly evolving, and the developers listen closely to the customers. I personally asked for some features or changes that found their way into the product extremely fast - on some occasions in less than a week!

MONyog basically just gave me exactly what I needed. Checking on the current and past state of the servers became a no-brainer. When someone asks me about a high load on a certain day - I can answer in minutes what was the condition of database at that moment. With the new Disk Info tool, finding out where your space is wasted is as easy as it gets.

No need to use sets of custom scripts and hack all kinds of small solutions together - MONyog does it all for you, the moment you install it.

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.

SQLyog Enterprise makes browsing, searching, testing, and backing up MySQL databases far easier than using the CLI interface. Its layout and UI is also a tremendous improvement over the Administrator GUI from MySQL AB themselves. As a developer who has to test complex database interactions (often through data that is updated or added via AJAX) it's invaluable in testing and debugging.

I didn't think that the GUI would make as much of a difference as it does. Of course the price was a consideration, since the tools I'm using now (CLI + MySQL Administrator) are free, but the performance of SQLyog Enterprise combined with my increased productivity more than makes up for the software cost. Since the tool integrates so well into my existing workflow, I felt that SQLyog Enterprise was a tool that helped rather than hindered my productivity. So many software tools require a great deal of overhead in maintaining and learning the tool that I never use them to their full potential, whereas SQLyog Enterprise is fairly intuitive enough that I was able to use it to do what I needed within minutes of installing it. I had to migrate a database from SQL Server to MySQL and the Migration Toolkit wizard made mapping the fields and importing the data easy. I also tend to do a lot of database backups and restores via MySQLdump, and being able to easily backup and restore from a menu item is the biggest time-saver that SQLyog Enterprise has to offer. Adding indexes, triggers and relationships are also just a right-click away. I'll never install phpMyAdmin again.

I just wanted to let you know that I am very pleased with SQLyog Enterprise. I am the owner of a web design shop which has rapidly moved into SQL web application development. In this space, we make bespoke systems and I manage these projects but have external resources who handle the SQL and scripting.

Recently, I bought SQLyog Enterprise to try managing the SQL between development and publishing. Honestly, I was not anticipating any success, but I am happy to say that I was wrong. I actually found that with SQLyog I am doing more than I thought possible. I am now flawlessly duplicating and moving entire web applications, most specifically, the live SQL databases with them. I am making backups, dumps and importing/exporting data as I please. I find the tunneling feature of SQLyog Enterprise to be a straight-forward and reliable means of SQL connections. It is astounding really, to say that in the past 2 months with SQLyog I have managed a dozen heavy-lifting tasks without incident. Needless to say this has relieved the small job pressure from development staff, streamlined deliveries and probably saved me pockets of cash.
Thanks.
