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 Redash.

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.

Redash requires technical skills, since it's not just a database management tool, but a platform for analytics, dashboards, datasets etc. It's a perfect balanced tool for experienced and non-experienced users, but it can become complicated if you don't need so many features.

Redash is a good choice for more than simple database management, but having analytics and control over data driven projects.

1. Supported databases:

Rocketadmin: MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle

Redash: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL, MongoDB, InfluxDB, Amazon DynamoDB, Presto etc

Wide list of database types are supported by Redash.

On the other hand, Rocketadmin supports only the most popular databases, which should be enough for the majority of users.

2. Installation and configuration:

Rocketadmin: no installation or configuration is needed

Redash: no installation is needed, requires some configuration

Since Redash is a whole platform - it requires some configuration inside the service itself, depending on your needs.

Rocketadmin is a faster way to start work with databases, if you don't need additional functionality.

3. Mobile-friendly UI:

Rocketadmin: yes

Redash: overloaded

Great functionality makes Redash very complicated to operate from mobile devices, the interface appears overloaded.

On other hand, Rocketadmin is pretty clean and easy to make changes on the go.

4. SQL queries:

Rocketadmin: not supported

Redash: supported

Our service is designed for non-experienced users and for basic maintenance of a database.

Redash provides you with a complete list of possibilities, including SQL queries.

5. Integrations support:

Rocketadmin: not supported

Redash: Google Analytics, Google Spreadsheets, Salesforce, JIRA etc.

With Redash you can use integrations with other services to build analytics representation for internal needs.

Since Rocketadmin is designed to work with databases only, no integrations are supported at the moment.
