  • December 10, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

I've used MySQL based solutions for almost my entire career. This is a reliable product.

MariaDB: Best Open Source DB better than MySQL

  • November 26, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The Development of MariaDB is more open and Vibrant as compared to MySQL and the simple reason is that MariaDB is open source while MySQL is owned by Oracle. Even the GitHub stats show that the number of contributors for MariaDB is way more than MySQL. The storage engines options are better in MariaDB since it excels in the number of storage engines and other plug-ins, most of the popular engines such as Connect, spider are part of the official releases where as in MySQL they are supported via Third party. MariaDB is compatible and easy to migrate i.e. it can easily get compatible to MySQL files.
What do you dislike about the product?
MariaDB should come up with better troubleshooting options e.g. GUI like SSMS for the SQL server. MariaDB is compatible with MySQL till 5.5 but it still lacks some of the features which were released with MySQL 5.6. It should work more on Fixing the replication issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MariaDB was our main Database server for our internal project management. Also It was used by our Infrastructure division for some management tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
MariaDB is a good drop in replacement for MySQL, i use it everywhere instead of MySQL. It is well suited for medium scale business.

MariaDB is a great alternative to vanilla MySQL

  • October 29, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that MariaDB is maintained by a community-based foundation as opposed to being owned by a larger corporation, especially one that maintains another major relational database system, Oracle.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lacks some of the more "fancy" features of other, more established relational databases like MSSQL and Oracle.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MariaDB scales well and plugs into our PHP web application seamlessly, meets our needs and is easy to understand and administer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Watch to ensure that MariaDB doesn't fall too far behind MySQL, or at least "holds its own" in terms of its divergence from the original fork from MySQL

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of setup & Maintenance. No licensing is cherry on the cake. Very responsive to ransactional data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Scalability issues when the data goes in higher TB's range. Also, sometimes we have faced certain issues with data replication.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most of our metadata and lookup tables sits in Maria DB. Also, lot of softwares like cloudera uses Maria DB as backend

MariaDB review

  • October 23, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Great open source DB with plenty of documentation. We use MariaDB exclusively for all our web projects. It uses mainly standard SQL statements, is easy to install, configure, and is well supported in terms of security updates. The price is also great (ie, free!).
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much although if I had to say one thing it would for a better GUI interface to view/edit/delete data. MySQLAdmin could use an interface update,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use MariaDB exclusively as the data store to all of our web/CMS projects. It is relatively stable and easy to set up. It uses mainly standard SQL statements, is easy to install, configure, and is well supported in terms of security updates. Can't be the cost (free) of this product!!!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommended open source, scalable database. It uses mainly standard SQL statements, is easy to install, configure, and is well supported in terms of security updates. The price is also great (ie, free!).

Free DB is best DB :D

  • October 23, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
FREE. No kidding, a database server this awesome and free pretty much sums it up. Needless to say the stability of MariaDB is phenomenal.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's very hard to find what to dislike about MariaDB, i guess just the fact that it's not as scaleable like the NoSQL counterparts? But then again i understand why it cant be so there's that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use MariaDB as an alternative to MySQL
I like how it fixes bugs faster than MySQL
It's very very stable
So easy to transition from MySQL to MariaDB
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're using MySQL, switching to MariaDB is just a breeze. If you're hesitating to switch, dont, coz it is like MySQL only better.

What do you like best about the product?
I think that this DB manager is really easy todo install and to use. It is available in most of platforms and It is similar to MySQL.
What do you dislike about the product?
MariaDB is a relational DB, cause you cant use It to work with non relational data, but It is not a disadvantage, you only need the correct DB manager to your data type.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When you need a light DB manager for relational data is a great option. It is easy to install and to manage.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Useful and easy

No sólo un Fork de MySQL

  • August 10, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
MariaDB is a great database management system, its perfect compatibility with MySQL allows you to migrate from one system to another without problems, since it has the same commands, interfaces, APIs and libraries, making it easier to change a type of server for another.

The two storage engines Aria and XtraDB replace with great advantage the previous MyISAM and InnoDB.
It presents improvements in the speed with respect to MySQL when making complex queries, since it caches data in temporary tables, which supposes a great and fast performance in front of the use of the hard disk.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not see any bad thing in MariaDB, maybe I would put it as the biggest problem not being able to live the 2 systems together in the same server MariaDB and MySQL, otherwise it is the future of the databases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have optimized a large part of our databases with MariaDB, reducing the search time in complex queries, with great performance and great stability of our systems.
No cost, no time or money, for our business because of the compatibility it has with MySQL.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
After the lace of Oracle to MySQL, MariaDB is our salvation, thanks to your 100% compatibility with MySQL it allows a clean migration without incidents of our systems, without any cost of time or money, very important in the times that we move .

Not to mention talking about the great community that is being generated behind it and that supports it, for my humble opinion MariDB is going in the right direction.

El futuro de Mysql

  • August 01, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Tiene todo el potencial de Mysql y un mayor soporte que este por parte de los desarrolladores.
Es muy facil de migrar de Mysql a MaríaDB
What do you dislike about the product?
Aún carece de una herramienta propia con interfaz grafica para gestionar la BBDD.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hemos podido montar un cluster con esta BBDD para mejorar el rendimiento de nuestra aplicacion.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ahora mismo, junto a Oracle, son las mejores BBDD relacionales para montar en proyectos de gran tamaño.
