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.
MySQL is a really scalable structured database available for free
What do you like best about the product?
Its open source and available for free. There are lot of communities for MySQL and if you are stuck with anything you will get help from everywhere
What do you dislike about the product?
There is almost nothing that I dislike about MySQL. It really does what it is supposed to be doing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I wanted to create secondary indexes for my logs which I'm storing and MySQL was a good choice for me to store secondary indexes.
best open source database
What do you like best about the product?
The sheer volume of knowledge surrounding MySQL makes it a no-brainer for using in any enterprise project: if you run into a problem you're almost guaranteed to find a solution online from someone who has experienced it before you.
What do you dislike about the product?
Other RDBMS seem to get better and earlier support for new technologies, such as JSON datatype.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OLAP and OLTP. MySQL is an extremely reliable and performant RDBMS.
Useful tools for database
What do you like best about the product?
usability, scalability, support, architecture
What do you dislike about the product?
Development environment can be a challenge initially but goo to pick up
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Database management, database querying, building complex databases
I use MySQL for data processing, cleaning, etc.
What do you like best about the product?
Clean and understandable user interface. Plenty of 3rd party support/interface with popular data visualization, analysis, and processing programs. Very easy to pick up and teach.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are two forms of MySQL you can download. Just the platform OR the platform with all the connections to 3rd party software. Making sure you get the correct one is annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MySQL has significantly speed up our data cleaning and analysis process.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's great if you need to interface with other programs.
MySql or not to MySql
What do you like best about the product?
Okay I generally start with this, but it's free!!! And so simple!!!! I started using Microsoft SQL Server back in 1999 in my first real job and have been on friendly terms with it ever since. However MySql has been there and thereabouts for a while and for the past 4 years or so I have not seen any reason why I should go back to paying. The utilities are excellent, the stability and upgrades can't be faulted, and it's light.
What do you dislike about the product?
Genuinely I have no dislikes. To be extremely extremely picky, the login box on MySql Workbench ( a GUI utility just like Enterprise Manager) sometimes hangs. But so what. If Microsoft could claim something like that was its weakest point, we would be overrun with Bill Gates shaped uber robots and no other OS would exist.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using MySql as production db servers for all my clients. Alongside saving the client money on licensing, I can so simply configure all the tools, redundancy and backups I need. I don't think I can warrant going back to Microsoft SQL Server for our products.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have even thought about it, give it a go. My bias lies in that I am a convert to Debian and the like, so free = good with me all the time. We run a number of db servers across our estate but (fingers crossed) the mySQL instances just don't give me hassle.
