Great open-source platform for SQL table management across applications.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to pick up for someone with cursory or no SQL experience. The amount of online learning material makes this a simple investment for anyone looking to utilize databases in their projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting ODBC connectors and other plugins to cooperate with third-party programs when you're trying to pass SQL data between them can be a hassle depending on system infrastructure. Getting appropriate information on this was a bit harder than learning about the product itself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MySQL provided a great framework for our organization to convert large-N datasets from XLS/CSV into a format we could pass on to our colleagues across the nation for statistical analysis in SPSS and other programs. It provided flexibility and ease of access that we weren't able to achieve with less centralized solutions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's not perfect, but it's close enough. You can't go wrong here.
Excellent system
What do you like best about the product?
A well designed and supported system that works well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its difficult to answer this question because they're is nothing I dislike about the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use mySQL and now mariaDB for a number of solutions which include my time keeping system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I used mySQL exclusively, but have now switched to mariaDB which is 100% compatible with mySQL.
Robust implementation of true SQL
What do you like best about the product?
A robust SQL engine (which has gone from open source to Oracle ownership). Ideally suited for read vs transactional but moving in that direction. Ability to cluster, replicate and a whole host of tunability and monitoring Available on Windows.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation could be better in both organization and examples.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MySQL is the backend to our websites (Wordpress) and has handle multiple db projects where interaction with the internet was necessary.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Solid product backed up by its ownership by Oracle.
Stable product, great features. Truly a standard
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to find support for the product. It works well with the PHP and Linux environment my company uses.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel MySQL could improve with documentation. Often it is far better to search the web than it is to use their site.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MySQL allows us to store the data we need for our research projects securely. It is stable and best of all, free.
MySQL for small SaaS service
What do you like best about the product?
Simple to use, familiar, fast enough for my needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. It doesn't meet the same need as more modern solutions like Mongo or other OODBs but it does exactly what it's supposed to and I can always count on it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reliable DB solution for user management for my iOS/Android/web app.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Think carefully about your implementation before diving in (though this goes for any RDBMS)
Well documented, reliable database
What do you like best about the product?
Finding help on MySQL is easy to do. It is highly used so there are lots of resources on the web to give guidance in constructing queries or using the database.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their installer is a little hard to understand. They have a web based installer program that you run and from within the installer you select the programs you want to install. It can be hard to figure out which features and versions you need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our CRM solution runs on a MySQL database. I am using MySQL in my sandbox environment on my local machine.
Best open source RDBMS
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
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
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.
Mysql review
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.
