Use Amazon Aurora - Amazon continues to deliver.
What do you like best about the product?
The marketing and sales pitch. If you read the marketing material, it looks like Clustrix is a great product. The reviews of the performance (by the CEO of Clustrix).
What do you dislike about the product?
The actual product performance. There is a significant gap between what is in the marketing material/sales pitch and the actual performance. After a lot of money and a lot of time, it became clear the product does not match the promise. The company was very keen to take our money, not so keen on delivering a solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Database performance is critical to our SAAS product. We are always looking for new technology to help drive performance the ActiveDEMAND marketing automation platform. We have realized no benefit whatsoever from our experience with Clustrix.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would say do not give this company money until after you have proven the software will meet your requirements. It may be the case that this small company's product will fit your need. Find out first. We made the mistake of paying first, testing second. The company was very quick to state that, even though their product would never meet our requirements, the contract is signed and they expected us to continue paying. This was a major mistake we made, do not follow our footsteps.

More stable drop-in replacement for MySQL
What do you like best about the product?
I like best that this is Open Source software that was created by a group that originally developed MySQL.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike. This project is managed well and the software is very stable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We switched to MariaDB due to performance and stability issues with MySQL starting in version 5.5. We were experiencing query locks that didn't happen under older versions of MySQL, and once we switched we learned about the great additional features that MariaDB has, like the Aria engine and the client features that show query progress.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try, it won't cost you anything to test it out, and it is a drop-in replacement for MySQL.
Open-Source RDBMS, but almost gives you an Enterprise Performance
What do you like best about the product?
You have everything that you need in order to have a very well performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some bugs, that hits and basically give us some issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Basically, a lot of different business, I'm solving and solved using this, so basically or mostly E commerce. As I've mentioned you have same like an enterprise MySQL server.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is from my personal experience, if you are using MySQL Database Server, that is limiting you to tweak and perform a performance tuning and optimization, then this is the time for you to maximize everything and to have you a very well promising performance, by tweaking and tuning your database to the highest maximum limit. So, what you are waiting for, try and make a development testing or POC for your company to switch using this MySQL like Database Server,
After a couple of years using Maria DB

Web application, web application scaling, high traffic management. Scaling, redundance and replication.
What can I see that hasn't been said
What do you like best about the product?
Simple, secure, reliable and scalable database. Cheaper than Oracle.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. It's simple to acquire and easy to licence.

Err, it's a database.
the new standard
What do you like best about the product?
who doesnt use mysql? now mariadb is the new standard in centos. it is seemly and i never utilized any of its advanced features but works great
What do you dislike about the product?
many changes to my perl scripts to better automate backup process
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scalability
MySQL server flavor MariaDB
What do you like best about the product?
For the most part, MariaDB is a binary drop in replacement for MySQL where you should be able to just fire up MariaDB from standard MySQL database already in production. You'll want to reference their site for any changes to be aware of (as there's even configuration settings and syntax differences between versions), but in general if you're running somewhat of a modern version of MySQL (5.1+), MariaDB 10.x (based on MySQL 5.6+), you shouldn't experience any problems after mysql upgrading the system tables.
In comparison to standard MySQL, there's a number of improvements (Percona also has many of the same and is very good too), including but not limited to:
- several other storage engines can be used
- significant speed improvements such as subqueries and joins with the optimizer
- faster and safer replication
- parallel replication
- innodb specific tunings (mostly related for speed)
- indexes for the memory(heap) engine considerably faster
- thread pools as of mariadb 5.1, even better in 5.5+
- gtid and multi-source replication
- fulltext searching support with InnoDB!
- table elimination
- microseconds implementation
- much better user stats and progress reporting when altering tables, loading data from infile, etc.
- truly open source!

What do you dislike about the product?
I can't say there isn't anything that I really dislike about MariaDB. In the newer versions, InnoDB supports fulltext searching (implemented as of MySQL 5.6) which makes converting table engines lucrative to avoid table locks for the most part that couldn't be done before since FULLTEXT was strictly MyISAM. They can still happen in certain cases, although will generally release pretty fast depending on the queries, system resources and the amount of load the system is under.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improved speed with queries, replication, the ability to convert MyISAM tables to InnoDB now that it supports FULLTEXT searching and eliminates table locks that MyISAM would impose based on how the storage engine works (table based locking with MyISAM vs row based locking with InnoDB).
The progress reporting via the MySQL CLI is rather useful for knowing the percentage amount done from an executed command, along with indicating how long it will take (per stage).

Recommendations to others considering the product:
The amount of improvements / features MariaDB has only enhances standard MySQL to be better and is practically a drop-in replacement over standard MySQL.
I would highly recommend giving it a try if you're looking for performance increases and enhancements/features that are available.

A great MySQL Drop in replacement
What do you like best about the product?
MariaDB has all the strengths of MySQL with a faster development cycle and more reliable releases. Works great in place of any MySQL needs, the commands are even the same.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think that getting newer releases of the project (like MariaDB 10+) can be difficult on some enterprise distros, so I wish that official releases were more readily available in an RPM format.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Any database that used to require MySQL we have moved over to MariaDB. We find it to be higher performance, more reliable, and A+ software.
Maria DB Best for Compression and very fast
What do you like best about the product?
High availability, scalable, performance enhancement.
Yes, Maria provides amazing performance for my database. My ads campaign data bumps in here and Maria DB makes my read and insertion faster.
Yes, i will highly recommend Maria DB to others, we should use 10.x version of maria db , as it comes with tokudb compression out of the box.
Which helps us in compression also. as Toku compress and saves our hard disk space, which sometimes are costly. and its high availabiluty makes this better

Leave MySQL-server for MariaDB right now!
What do you like best about the product?
MariaDB 10.0 was a complete drop-in replacement for MySQL server. No hassle in setup. Since switching to it, Everything just works as excpected, and faster, lighter, better than plain old MySQL.
We are very much looking forward to moving on to MariaDB 10.1 for some new features.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not much at all to dislike here.
Would like to have master-master replication for other Storage engines than InnoDB as well. MyISAM works, but causes issues due to not replicating.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MariaDB Galera SQL Cluster in a large scale. Master-master replication works beautifully and without errors. We are rapidly scaling our MariaDB Galera clusters, and everything is working smoothly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're migrating from MySQL-server, consider MariaDB 10.0 first, since it's a complete drop-in replacement. MariaDB 10.1 contains some improvements MySQL doesn't, and thus cannot be quite considered a drop-in replacement.
