Choice of the appropriate database admin tool depends on your needs and requirements. Below you can find a comparison of core features for Rocketadmin and phpMyAdmin.

Rocketadmin is preferred way for safe interacting with database, when you need an easy interface for basic editing - create, read, edit, delete rows. But you can't delete table or apply SQL query.

It makes Rocketadmin perfect tool for inexperienced users to easily manage production databases from any device.

phpMyAdmin requires technical skills and engineering background, since it's a full-scale database management software. Incorrect SQL queries or misclicks can lead to malfunction of database. Also, note that phpMyAdmin usually needs to be installed and setup on your server, which is a time consuming process and also requires additional works for server support and security.

phpMyAdmin is a good choice for experienced users of database management software, who need full control of a database and is ready to take all the risks.
