Great inexpensive database option
What do you like best about the product?
Inexpensive (or free) relational database option depending on your support needs. Most of the functionality you find in enterprise DB solutions like Oracle and SQL Server
What do you dislike about the product?
Good for small projects and back-end needs for basic customer UI's, but not good for more enterprise level database needs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use MySQL as the backend for most of our 3rd party tools that require a basic relational database backend.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you understand the support options for MySQL and whether it fits your needs if you have a significant number of busy users
Best Relational Database software that is also opensource
What do you like best about the product?
Its free to use and the ability to sync it to Excel, Amazon cloud storage etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that I can think of. Its pretty easy to use and learn
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have created a historical database for our data and use queries frequently to pull reports.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a must use software for beginners learning SQL and also for startups if they don't have a huge budget for other paid database softwares
A lightweight yet powerful RDBMS for those who want to stick with Linux based systems
What do you like best about the product?
Its simplicity to manage, open source features. Popularly used in most Linux based application stacks as LAMP foundation
What do you dislike about the product?
its security feature. Someone with Linux root access can alter data seamlessly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If someone wants to stick with Linux and open source, MySql is a good choice for relational database management
Great tool for retrieving data and creating productivity reports
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use of the system, being a first time user and having little to no knowledge of mysql, the way the system allows me to learn and navigate through the tables and find information is not complicated and easy to adapt.
What do you dislike about the product?
we currently using an old version of the software (discontinued), i would like to experience with the most up to date version of it but based on the needs of the business this is not a must, if anything at all that would be my only dislike, not being able to be up-to-date with the database software client
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main use for MySQL is to gather information and use that to create reports via Crystal Reports software for internal and external use. It also allows us to analyze data on live transactions done in our office and verify that information was written properly to the tables and we have accurate information.
Lean, fast and easy to get along with
What do you like best about the product?
Having used Microsoft SQL predominantly learning to use MySql took no time at all.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a lot to dislike, just isn't as well used as Micro SQL
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Databasing, used for data capture
MySQL: Best open source DB
What do you like best about the product?
Best thing about MySQL is, It's quite easy to install and use. By using some third party tools you can make it even more cooler. e.g. mk-query-digest & mydumper. Recently, it has gained more popularity as it's being used by loads of major corporations like Twitter, Alibaba, Amazon etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Most of the people things it's free, but it's quite expensive too. Which depends on for what you are planning to use it for. It could range from FREE to $15K+.
It somehow lacks in scaling, when it's forced to do too many operations at given time.
I don't know why MySQL is trying to do everything, which it should not. It's dependency on Addons sometimes makes task complex and hard to track and maintain.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Personally, i have used MySQL in development of several Web & desktop based application. Additionally, i have also experimented lot using it. Being it's open source gives you lot of flexibility. It's community driven development gives us exposure to lots of third party tools which has made my work easier.
