Databases are the heart of almost every Internet and enterprise application I can think of. The demands for scale, speed, and fast application development have brought a novel breed of NoSQL databases.

In the previous article, we explored some of the popular SQL clients, and here, let’s discuss NoSQL clients for efficient administration and development.

Since the SQL and non-SQL databases vary with their definitions, structure, and functions, the tool/client required to work with them also varies.

The following NoSQL database management tools will help you to improve productivity.  Each tool discussed below has a decent UI, which gives you a user-friendly development experience.
