The all around best database for software applications
What do you like best about the product?
With only a small amount of simple syntax I can define all the necessary actions to build, maintain and access a database. Using MySQL is straight forward and intuitive. With a some practice, you can easily build a database for any application. The stability and scalability make it great for building large scale applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be difficult at times to correct a mistake after you have run an incorrect command. Once a change has been made to a database it is very difficult to undo it. It would be nice if there was an easier way to revert to an older version of your database or an undo feature. Additionally it would be nice if there was a way to build a sandbox version of your database and then automatically update the live instance with changes from the sandbox after testing to insure safety/functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been able to use MySQL to build databases for smartphone and web based applications. It is a very efficient and dependable solution for storing and accessing data for applications with multiple users like social media apps and information sharing services. I can't see myself choosing any other database for mobile or web based applications in the near future.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you haven't done database and also basic programming before then you should learn some of each before attempting MySQL. Taking a tutorial on SQL would also be good for first time users.
Great experience
What do you like best about the product?
I had really great experience with MySQL because it provides utmost Data security, high performance, compatibility ,On-Demand Scalability, Comprehensive Transactional Support, and round the clock uptime and flexibility of open source , Reduced Total Cost of Ownership and also complete workflow control
What do you dislike about the product?
Memory usage increased: If we use many stored procedures, the memory usage of every connection that is using those stored procedures will increase substantially.
Restricted for complex business logic: Actually, stored procedure’s constructs are not designed for developing complex and flexible business logic.
Difficult to debug: It is difficult to debug stored procedures. Only a few database management systems allow you to debug stored procedures. Unfortunately, MySQL does not provide facilities for debugging stored procedures.
Difficult to maintain: It is not easy to develop and maintain stored procedures. Developing and maintaining stored procedures are often required a specialized skill set that not all application developers possess. This may lead to problems in both application development and maintenance phases.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Increased the performance of our applications- MySQL implements stored procedures slightly different which helps in increasing the performance of the applications. MySQL stored procedures are compiled on demand. After compiling a stored procedure, MySQL puts it into a cache. And MySQL maintains its own stored procedure cache for every single connection. If an application uses a stored procedure multiple times in a single connection, the compiled version is used; otherwise, the stored procedure works like a query.
The perfect database for web applications
What do you like best about the product?
It is a very adaptable database. It is also very fast when performing operations. On the other hand it has been very useful to deploy it on servers with limited resources. I like that no matter what server language I use in my web applications I can achieve access to the mysql database without any complications. This also helps me to interconnect applications through the same database
What do you dislike about the product?
Many advanced functions of MySQL do not have a good documentation, it is required to invest time in being able to find all the necessary documentation. And it's also an unintuitive database for a beginner user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has allowed me to build the database of all websites and applications in the cloud that I have created in the company, it is a great tool for database and widely used in web apps. We are currently creating new products for cloud solutions, and this integrated NodeJS tool works perfectly. We have also integrated it into web applications created with php and python
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a great tool, but they should improve the documentation for advanced functions. I like that it can be integrated to any type of server language, it is very useful to connect applications created in different languages from the same database. Finally, mysql does not come fully optimized, it requires several optimization adjustments to improve its performance. They are also simple optimizations that can be easily improved

Pros and cons of the use of mysql in companies
What do you like best about the product?
It is very popular: the fact that many people use it and that it is so present in a large part of the web developments, makes the software providers try to make their applications compatible with this database, thus being able to find many applications for MySQL.
It is simple: it is easy to learn compared to other BDs, it is not necessary to spend a lot of time or money in training workers or in hiring qualified people. The fact that it is simple means that it is also fast, although there are some developers that miss some features (in my opinion, less and less).
It's cheap: although it belongs to MySQL AB, MySQL is open source, which is cheap means that at the beginning of the project the expense goes to other parties that may need it, instead of spending money on licenses.
It has support: one of the disadvantages that clients usually present towards open source is that it does not have support. MySQL offers a license with support and maintenance services, and it is also possible to obtain technical attention 24/7.
It is flexible and scalable: it has many types of storage, being able to select the one that suits us best, and stored procedures allow us scalability.
Native libraries for languages: offers libraries for languages such as PHP and Ruby.

What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of integration with existing environments: there are many circumstances in which DBAs do not have an environment with which to deal with MySQL.
Lack of maturity: in comparison with other BDs such as Oracle (which turns 30), it lacks maturity, which indicates positioning and stability.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MySQL is one of the most popular databases within the web development. There are people who defend it, and others who do not have it among their favorite BD. For those who have to decide on the choice of MySQL as BD of your system, this list of pros and cons can be very useful.
Great and extremely intuitive. Great way to manage data
What do you like best about the product?
The best part I like is the SQL language usage.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface can be designed better
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Used to use MySQL database to access certain data. To store, update/change and delete, as well as retrieving data.
Blazingly Fast and You Can't Beat the Price
What do you like best about the product?
For starters, since MySQL is open source, the price just can't be beat. On top of that, it's relatively easy to set up and the speed is incredible. It can be managed from a wide variety of tools and there is a huge amount of shared knowledge out there about it (books, articles, websites, forums, etc.). Lastly, it offers a wide range of possibilities for configurations, table types, and text encodings - very customizable all the way around.
What do you dislike about the product?
The setup is *relatively* easy, but for a database novice, or even a newcomer to the command line, it can be intimidating, since MySQL is so incredibly customizable and flexible. Thankfully most Linux distributions have a graphical way to install it these days.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MySQL powers our website and intranet. The frontend is WordPress, but we do a ton of custom database stuff in the backend, especially syncing data from other sources into MySQL for use in our intranet (for example, student data pulled from a CSV and brought into MySQL for custom reporting jobs).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need MySQL, you need MySQL. Go for it. It's not as intimidating as it seems. Grab a book on MySQL or hit StackOverflow. You'll have it in no time!
MySQL has been a great all purpose database tech that is secure, reliable, fast and free.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that from a value perspective, you can't get any better than an industry tried and true database tech. MySQL has grown and so has the various flavors like MariaDB, Percona, Aurora, and perhaps more. The community is great for support, and you can get support plans from numerous providers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike. Usually when I come up with a con, I can switch the deployment strategy and come up with viable work arounds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cost effective management of data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Recommend implementing in AWS RDS as Aurora
MySql, a great relational database application, as always
What do you like best about the product?
Open Source, what can i say. For an open source tool, it has tons of development and is well tested
What do you dislike about the product?
open source... sometimes there can be a lag in development time
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
database elements, business management
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As with any open source tool, there are benefits and detractors. I advise weighing the positive and negative carefully, but it works great at its core.
