2021 - MariaDB in NOT MySQL -IT is SO much more!

  • May 15, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Being a MySQL Fork once upon a time, and the fact the original developer of MYSQL runs MariaDB, it is compatible, familiar, and very easy to get up to speed, even scale. Its direction and focus on features is "for purpose". JSON ,GIS, ColumnStore... and more.. give it full hybrid OLAP/OLTP. 1.5 billion row tables on a single instance - with what would be considered "low" end VM! Fantastic!
What do you dislike about the product?
My only issue would not be a MariaDB fault -but rather that it is often mistaken and referred to as MySQL, unfairly skewing the numbers against MariaDB. Testament to just how compatible it had remained.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Without MariaDB, bootstrapping our now maturing startup would never have been possible. Low cost with available staff skills. Rapidly having to scale Ingest and processing while keeping hardware to a minimum, impressively so. 1.5 billion row tables and no technical debt, with the dev team seeming to be 1 step ahead of our needs, delivering improvements and new features, but always comfortably familiar. I have nothing but absolute praise. Now to address the issues that it is not MySQL - it is SO much more!

MariaDB is a completely free version of MySQL. Fast and easy to use

  • April 24, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about MariaDB is its similarity to MySQL, so if you previously worked with MySQL managing databases with MariaDB will be a simple task. Another feature that I like is that it is totally free. I also like the fact that migration can be carried out without inconvenience.
What do you dislike about the product?
MariaDB is completely free and has an easy to manage GUI. Also, it shares the same source code as MySQL, so I don't have any negative comments about this software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am currently using MariaDB in multiple development environments to run tests on different apps. Also, I have migrated various databases from MySQL to MariaDB easily and cleanly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
MariaDB is fast and completely free. In my opinion, it is an improved version of MySQL. Also, migration can be carried out easily. I recommend MariaDB.

MariaDB is a very useful database manager for local development and testing

  • March 15, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like MariaDB because it works under a relational scheme. It is possible to store, retrieve and manipulate data with ease. Another reason I like this software is that it has Aria as its storage engine, which allows complex queries to be made in short periods of time. Also, the data can be easily imported and exported.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not had any problems so far with MariaDB, even its performance is very good thanks to its cache in RAM.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MariaDB's learning curve is very short and that's the biggest benefit, since it's basically a replacement for MySQL. With this database administrator I can create multiple databases to store a wide variety of data from the different applications that we have in the organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend using this database manager, especially for testing or local development. Also, if I previously work with MySQL it will work under the same scheme with MariaDB.

Using MariaDB to manage data on distributed systems

  • December 03, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
MariaDB allows us to deploy several database server instances for each location where we have a point of data generation. This is a distributed system architecture to implement using MariaDB.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have to invest additional effort and time to ensure the database services and to tune the synchronization processes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To deploy a distributed system architecture considering the cost of licensing of operating systems and database server licensing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Define your system architecture.
Test the proposed system architecture before the deployment.
Make a data sizing analyze to set the final data storage.
Use a monitoring solution to ensure the health of the system.

IL database opensource più usato.....

  • November 12, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Molto popolare, fork del progetto MySQL dopo l'acquisto di Oracle, con una enorme community a supporto per ogni problema o per migliorare i comportamenti del sistema.
Viene supportato su tutti i sistemi operativi. SPesso viene fornito in bundle con i vari Php e Apache (LAMP per Linux e WAMP per Windows) offrendo tutti gli strumenti per mettere su un server Web (Apache) e implementarne la logica (Php) utilizzando il DB.
What do you dislike about the product?
Per avere un sistema performante con tanti dati c'è davvero bisogno di fare un tuning molto accurato per cui bisogna lavorarci davvero parecchio.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
L'utilizzo di un potente DBMS (DataBase Management System) ti aiuta a supportare le necessità della tua azienda senza spendere una barca di soldi ma con il supporto di una enorme community che ti aiuta a risolvere i problemi.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Da utilizzare senza problemi per progetti di piccole e medie dimensioni. Se hai bisogno di utilizzare grosse mole di dati, allora bisogna valutare molto bene le necessità.

A great tool with high integration

  • September 03, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The tool comes with an excellent user interface, is easy to set up and use, and is very effective when it comes to database administration. What I highlight most are the Alert Table queries, as in MariaDB you can check progress on a list of processes, so you can always keep a visual track on the progress
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of personal support community approach Lacks GUI interface as far as I know to install in the Linux desktop environment. I've had some problems with scalability, but that's a small database and centralized data The migration is not the easiest to use, compared to other applications I've used in the past.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This information helps when informing our customers, besides maintaining some metadata for analytical purposes is too powerful and increases the speed of data synchronization of our software Mysqltuner is an incredible program to help you adjust the settings The migration has never been so easy and generally has a good performance
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A tool with good integration with others, to work comfortable and very functional.
