Solid database, reliable, widely used and well supported

  • February 06, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I've been using MySQL for over 20 years and it's been a key component to my work. It's a solid workhorse of a database and it's prolificacy has meant that support is second to none, either directly through the developers or from other users.

We use MySQL on all our servers and in our development instances either using an locally installed version of it or via Docker containers. The Docker support has meant we can easily spin up different versions to test them out on existing sites.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that really stands out as anything I would dislike about the product. It's performant enough that I don't need to worry and if you find it struggles, spin up another server. It's open source so the software isn't going to cost you anything. We've experience no security issues with the product but keep our software up to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's the standard tool for most, if not all, of our client websites. We run many sites for non-profit organisations, government agencies and all of them are running on MySQL (with PHP on either Drupal or Laravel). Our sites are high profile, high visibility sites and MySQL has been faultless.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get involved with the community as they will help with most support issues you may run into. It's open source and so the community for MySQL or any open source products is important so do your bit!

MySQL

  • January 31, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
• Cost-effective:

The database is open source and free.

• Replicable:

The MySQL database can be mirrored across various nodes, implying that the workload can be decreased and the scalability and accessibility of the application can be expanded.

• Sharding:

While sharding is impossible on most SQL databases, it should be possible on MySQL servers. This is both cost-effective and useful for business.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. MySQL does not support a very large database size as efficiently.

2. MySQL does not support ROLE, COMMIT, and Stored procedures in versions less than 5.0.

3. Transactions are not handled very efficiently.

4. There are a few stability issues.

5. It suffers from poor performance scaling.

6. The development is not community driven so it has lagged behind.

7. The functionality tends to be heavily dependent on the addons.

8. Developers may find some of its limitations very frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use MySQL to store our data. Open source, reliability, readily available support and industry standard are few benefits of My SQL.

Powerful yet cost effective Database engine...

  • January 30, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Cost! the primary driver behind open-source for us was the ability to deploy at a reasonable cost. Multiple third-party options available to fulfill additional needs for specific purposes
What do you dislike about the product?
Default interfaces are still crude and third-party options do not always allow certain functionality
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Engine is powerful and light-weighted, allowing use on non-critical apps
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you are able to find the proper set of add-on to fit your needs
