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.
Performance plus free
What do you like best about the product?
Who can beat this? A database app that is robust, feature-full, reliable, easy to learn, compete well with paid counterparts, seamlessly works with lots of programming languages, works on several IT platforms, and on top of all these good stuff, it is FREE. Yes, it is free!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike; it is very easy to slice and dice this application to one's need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saves my company fund we would have spent on paid database app; that is a chunk staying put in the bottom line.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it! You have nothing to lose, but everything to gain.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to set up and deploy to Cloud
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If anyone look for a light weight data management solution. Go with MySQL.
Open Source Gold!
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is powerful, efficient and most importantly open source. When you consider the fact that phpMyAdmin is also open source, it's hard to find a better alternative to database administration. Easy to set up and easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not really anything I would change about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use MySQL for a wide array of projects, including but not limited to provider/patient/clinic management, a news application, discussion boards, etc...
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great startup option being that the product is open source
DB needs meet
What do you like best about the product?
This is the DB at the back end of quite a few sites of mine over the years. Quite the Titan in the space.
What do you dislike about the product?
The DB had some resilience issues for us when a data center went down.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Used as data stores for various web apps
