A very good opensource database solution

  • March 22, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is open source and fully compatible with MySQL, which means that I can safely use MySQL connector over ASP.NET, while I can always hope for new updates and fixes, totally for free.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's development focus is not very clear to me: doesn't seem to focus on performances nor very large set of functions/datatypes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mostly use it while developing websites.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a very good compromise between open source (free), stability and scalability. It is indeed the standard de-facto in web applications.

Drop in replacement for MySQL

  • March 18, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love that it is a drop in replacement for MySQL. Super easy to manage and find information about online because they kept it so close to the original.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it had a little more popularity. It is the default in CentOS 7 but it isn't in Debian 8. Because it is interchangeable with MySQL this isn't really a big deal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being a drop in replacement for MySQL allowed us to switch to CentOS 7 with ease. Updating to CentOS 7 let us use more up to date software across our stack. Using MariaDB is dead simple because of the history with MySQL. Tutorials for anything that needs to be done is just a search away. Easy implementation and no additional training.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a drop in replacement for MySQL so updating your application to use it instead should be almost trivial. Almost all tutorials and documentation available for MySQL will apply to MariaDB as well.
