MySQL for SaaS

  • December 08, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is working great for us especially with Node and elasticsearch
What do you dislike about the product?
When I upgraded to Mac OS High Sierra, suddenly it is not working
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Software as a service business
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This era with shiny tools, one of those is MongoDB but I can say it is not a one-size fit all solution. On our app, we highly require referential integrity between our data and MySQL provides it.

Quick and easy

  • December 07, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
MySQL was a quick and easy method for running SQL queries on large data sets. It was pretty similar to tools I had used previously and made for a pretty easy learning curve. Using the tool was above my ability and knowledge when I first started; but after a little research into how SQL works, I was good to go. It was definitely easier that the method we had used prior - filtering in Excel. But more than that, it worked well and quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
It could have been a bit easier with common functions prebuilt for drag-and-drop or just a quick reference, depending on user's experience level. Probably not needed for most cases. I will acknowledge that I did not built out the database we were using, just queried against it, though I did have to designate my primary key and the like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use MySQL to validate and troubleshoot very large data sets.
Prior to the time my team implemented SQL databases and using MySQL was recommended, our only option for debugging large data sets was to filter in Microsoft Excel. Not only is it highly limited, but Excel didn't really handle any of that well. I had started with a few different SQL tools and ended up sticking with MySQL because of its ease of use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I found MySQL to be very easy to use. I did have to research some SQL to figure out what I needed, but it was pretty simple to pick up and run with it.

MySQL is almost there

  • December 07, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
performance speeds are fast but could be a little faster, the price is fairly inexpensive
What do you dislike about the product?
MySQL is not development community driven so it is harder to find answers to questions when come across an issue also harder to expand size of database quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data storage and manipulation of customer information, customer contact information, along with tenant information.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want a cheap product that will do the trick then use MySQL but if you want a product that is easier to upgrade database size and has a community backed by it with answers to any questions choose a different product.

MySQL is solid for an open source platform

  • December 06, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It seems to compete well with pay-for alternatives when it comes to a lot of enterprise class requirements. Easy replication, easy backups, fast querying.
What do you dislike about the product?
Backwards compatibility can be an issue. Especially version changes to the query optimizer can result in queries that were running fast on a previous version of mysql having major performance issues after an upgrade.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we use MySQL as our primary database technology at a software company in Overland Park, KS. We feel that it serves our needs well and compares well to alternatives that would cost more. We've enjoyed the benefits of it's easy integration with monitoring tools like New Relic and Vivid Cortex as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure that you need a good relational database to suit your needs. Lots of new technology popping up, like nosql - mongo, cassandra, even just caching systems like redis can meet a lot of performance needs without a full blown mysql implementation. also note that mysql is really more open source, at least I don't personally have experience with the enterprise edition. Percona is a great consulting firm to help out.
