Librato vs phpMyAdmin: What are the differences?
Developers describe Librato as "Real-Time Cloud Monitoring". Librato provides a complete solution for monitoring and understanding the metrics that impact your business at all levels of the stack. We provide everything you need to visualize, analyze, and actively alert on the metrics that matter to you. 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.
Librato can be classified as a tool in the "Performance Monitoring" category, while phpMyAdmin is grouped under "Database Tools".
Heroku, Product Hunt, and Mapbox are some of the popular companies that use Librato, whereas phpMyAdmin is used by Basharsoft, Matzen Group IVS, and VotePen. Librato has a broader approval, being mentioned in 61 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.
