MySQL Review

  • April 13, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like MySQL because:
1) It's free.
2) It is can be used in both Windows and Unix.
3) I like the MySQL community
4) It allows multiple users to access to a variety of databases.
5) It was easier to learn than other databases.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that it's losing the open source. I think since Oracle bought it, updates and upgrades are lacking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In higher education, I use it for pulling a data for surveys for accreditation, as well as, reporting. It has helped to pull all types of data in one spot and organize it relationally for reporting purposes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I use MySQL workbench or Toad to create my queries, stored procedures, data models..

Easy to get started but not the best solution for all problems

  • March 30, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use, free, open-source, and very widely used (so lots of support available online).
What do you dislike about the product?
Not the best for all data formats--in some cases, a non-relation database might be better suited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storing data
Recommendations to others considering the product:
First consider whether MySQL is the best database tool for your problem. Consider non-relational databases such as MongoDB.

Best open source RDBMS

  • March 30, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
First thing is the cost. Its free for any decent sized application you can think of.

Then you do have the options for setting up clusters. That's just great when you are thinking of high availability, reliability and scaling up.

And then there is the huge community and knowledge out there to help you with practically any problem you have.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of a solid platform like Microsoft SQL management studio for MSSQL DB. I feel like there are great tools out there for this, but it still don't match with SQL management studio and its capabilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can download and setup a full scale mysql server in less than an hour and along with it a bunch of great tools. Me and my developers can go ahead start thinking of actual business logic without wasting time on setup. This may not be a big deal when it comes to bigger companies with dedicated DevOps, but startups and for personal projects, it's critical.

MySQL for database management

  • March 28, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use and simplicity of the syntax - Its a very easy language for beginners
What do you dislike about the product?
It lacks advanced database management tools and libraries when you compare with Python.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using MySQL for our database management and listing of products on our website. We also use it for inventory management processes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a very easy to lean and implement tool, several entry level personnel can successfully implement database management using MySQL.

SQL- Excellent for small businesses

  • March 20, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is light and easy to install. Its portable and flexible and the interface is pretty straightforward
What do you dislike about the product?
Scalability is a big issue for mySQL. It works great with small data sets, but for large data it is not that efficient. It has fewer reporting options built on top of it compared to other databases. Less sophisticated options for mirroring and data encryption.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am currently working on development of an open source DBMS(Hive). I am using mysql as metastore for Hive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are writing smaller software, software that is mainly web focused this may be the database for you.
But if If you need to write a lot of records, using multiple servers, then some NoSQL databases (like Aerospike, Cassandra, ...) might be a better suit, or you can use some heavy SQL databases like Oracle.

MySQL

  • March 16, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is a great skill to have and once you get the hang of it is a very powerful tool. Combine mySQL with any programming language and you can do a lot of things. In today's day and age, everything is about information, and information has to be stored somewhere, that's where databases and mySQL come to great use.
What do you dislike about the product?
mySQL is pretty resource intensive, MariaDB is fork of mySQL and runs much better and is more powerful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to mySQL, all data was being stored very inefficiently utilizing text files, which were extremely resource intensive and extremely large files. Relational databases are a very powerful tool, which can be reassembled in many different ways without having to reorganize the original database tables. This saves a lot of time, and resources. By using mySQL we have cut down our resource utilization by over 80%, and have sped things up over 250%.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your not using mySQL already, then what are you waiting for? Get on it ASAP.

Industry standard for webdev

  • March 15, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is industry-standard for web-development. It is easy to install, set and manage database. It is in rapid developement and always implements new features in new realeases. MySQL is reliable and stable what more do you need?!
What do you dislike about the product?
As many others SQL DBs MySQL may be slow on really big datasets, sometimes master-slave replication works not so good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it on every our website as main DB.

Great and light DBMS

  • February 27, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is a light and easy to install on most of the operating systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
MySQL configurations are tricky. This happens when configuring MySQL for production purposes. Allowing access to the remote server and giving privileges to the existing users is quite challenging.
Also, the performance tuning parameters, especially with big data, require deep knowledge of the configurations trade-offs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Research projects and non-big data problems.

Mysql review

  • February 14, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Mysql is almost always a supported option for any database based application. Practically an industry standard.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing to dislike from a basic database perspective. Hardcore dB admins may have some issues, but it covers most standard application needs without problems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use mysql as a dB back end for custom mvc applications. It is simple to setup and backup. This allows us to turn up solutions quickly while not worrying about cost.

Easy and complete

  • February 09, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is really easy. You have a lot of tools to manage it: Toad, Mysql Workbench. It is robust.
What do you dislike about the product?
You cannot define unique index on nullable fields. And it goes on growing more and more, and it can be explosive if you have big tables
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Each problem that needs table can be sorted with mysql. But the size of tables should be less than 10 milions of records.
