AppSignal vs phpMyAdmin: What are the differences?
AppSignal: Monitoring for Ruby and Elixir. By developers, for developers. AppSignal gives you and your team alerts and detailed metrics about your Ruby or Elixir application Sensible pricing, no aggressive sales & support by developers.; phpMyAdmin: A free software, for MySQL and MariaDB. As a portable web application written primarily in PHP, it has become one of the most popular MySQL administration tools, especially for web hosting services.
AppSignal can be classified as a tool in the "Performance Monitoring" category, while phpMyAdmin is grouped under "Database Tools".
Publitas, Tolq, and inkl are some of the popular companies that use AppSignal, whereas phpMyAdmin is used by Basharsoft, Matzen Group IVS, and VotePen. AppSignal has a broader approval, being mentioned in 24 company stacks & 5 developers stacks; compared to phpMyAdmin, which is listed in 9 company stacks and 6 developer stacks.
We were looking a tool that would allow us to do MySQL and PostgreSQL development/administration from a single tool. We decided on Navicat Premium because it can connect to MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQLite databases - and simultaneously. It's also compatible with Amazon RDS and Microsoft Azure, which we also use.
Moreover, we previously experienced the occasional freezing and crashing in MySQL Workbench. It also suffered from a poor design, with certain features being a bit difficult to find. Meanwhile, phpMyAdmin lacked schema visualization tools and seemed better suited to lightweight day to day transactions than some of the big jobs that we needed to do.
