What do you like best about the product?
Given the Different data storage options with InnoDB, Document store or even NDB you have a lot of flexibility for management and storage of your data.
Replicating across multiple site for data security, or redundancy is quite easy to do with either Async or Sync replication models.
What do you dislike about the product?
MYSQL's tolerance for high-latency networks when attempting more than 2 nodes, is pretty tough.
If you use MySQL Workbench, you will be vastly disappointed.

We are using MySQL on high-latency networks with 3 sites, it is a problem not encountered often. We haven't found a solution thus far.

Super easy to use and get your web-based project off the ground

  • September 16, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy set-up with simple web interface.If you are not a DBA and would rather spend time coding your project than configuring a database, this is great. It is the backbone of many web based CDN and shopping sites because of its ease of use and low barrier to entry.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am not going to pretend it is perfect but I haven't found any limitations or negatives in my use. We use several databases but use MySql for many web applications and it is a fit for our needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems - I haven't had any. Agree, I am not trying to say it is going to be everything for everyone but it has met our needs extremely well and should be on your list of choices.

Benefits - Time savings. You can get a MySql instance and database up and running quickly and spending your coding time on , , , coding!!!!
