O principal problema que a ferramenta resolve para mim, é o tempo. O fato dela apresentar os produtos que já estão validados acaba economizando horas de trabalho. O acesso a pagina de vendas e criativos também torna o trabalho mais rico e rápido.

Pros

O produto e razoavelmente fácil de usar e permite ao usuário ter informações relevantes sobre o produto antes de testá-lo sem sua loja.

Cons

O principal contra da ferramenta a meu ver é o preço. O melhor plano com mais e melhores serviços não é acessível financeiramente ao menos para mim. No meu plano, alguns produtos não aparece dados sobre a loja, quantidade de vendas etc

Pros

Adminer is the evolution of phpMinAdmin, an open source tool for database management. I used it for MySQL, MariaDB and PostgreSQL. You can search and sort using multiple columns and there is a nice SQL syntax highlight feature that can help when writing complex queries. I also used the visual ER schema editing. Another good thing is that it is very light (a single php file).

Cons

It can be slow while making bulk changes or changing databases frequently. Also, some additional features are missing like data synchronization and cluster management/monitoring.

I am able to manage my database very easily due to the schema and dashboard-based dictionary setup. It's easy to set foreign keys.

Pros

It's simple to use, and lightweight on the system due to its small size and installing it is a breeze: I just downloaded its PHP file format (adminer-4.8.1.php) for my PHP project and placed it on my server. I was immediately able to use it without any need for installation, and I can conveniently just delete the file once I don't need it.

Cons

The schema is challenging to move around the workspace area

Switched from

[phpMyAdmin](https://www.capterra.com/p/244725/phpMyAdmin/)

I was experimenting with it to have a feel of its performance and I was not disappointed.

Alternatives considered

Reasons for choosing Adminer

Adminer is lightweight enough to work efficiently and fast on my PC while providing me with all the features that I need, which is all that matters for now.
