Open PostgreSQL Monitoring vs phpMyAdmin: What are the differences?
Developers describe Open PostgreSQL Monitoring as "Oversee and Manage Your PostgreSQL Servers". Open PostgreSQL Monitoring is a free software designed to help you manage your PostgreSQL servers. On the other hand, phpMyAdmin is detailed as "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.
Open PostgreSQL Monitoring and phpMyAdmin can be primarily classified as "Database" tools.

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.
