Really easy to use and maintain RDBMS
What do you like best about the product?
The Community Server edition remains a strong candidate for a SQL-based database solution that supports a wide array of data structures.
It scales well for both small business and enterprise use.
It performs very well provided your database schema is well-planned and carefully considered (which is the case for any database solution).
It has a number of interface solutions including GUI-based ones such as phpMyAdmin and MySQL Workbench that allow for easy management of your databases.

What do you dislike about the product?
Does not fully comply with SQL standards, most notably in regards to referencing foreign keys.
A major bug remains in its implementation of timestamp methods that will result in a 0 being returned for dates falling after Jan 19, 2038. While possibly not a show-stopper for most use cases, there are applications where date ranges that far out will be required (such as loan management).
Its open-source nature may not suit larger organization or high-performing systems well, which may benefit from the stronger support and scalability of premium products.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Mysql for data storage, it is really easy to implements and to maintain, so there's no need technical support for maintenance, if you have some experiences you can maintain it for yourself.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I primarily use MySQL for data storage for content-management systems for websites built in WordPress. It provides a simple, easily-managed solution to the need for performant data storage and querying for site data, such as pages or posts. I also use it as the back-end data storage and querying solution for static front-end web applications. It remains my go-to choice when I need an SQL database for my applications and/or CMS. My business is a small one so it is used only by myself, and therefore across my organization. I use the Community Server edition as it suits my needs without having to extend it to the Enterprise Server edition.

Useful database solution choice
What do you like best about the product?
Well-documented, MySQL has been actively maintained and supported. It has simple logic that can be used in pretty complex ways.
What do you dislike about the product?
I’m actually quite partial to MySQL. The only drawback is the learning curve, but it’s not that steep.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I manage websites that use MySQL to store a lot of information for users.
Great Product!
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use, for the most part, is intuitive and there are plenty of online and offline resources for information towards performing functions not as intuitive. There are many functions that are available that help data mine for granular to top-level details. We've been distributing reports daily, weekly and monthly towards ultimately recapping the YTD trends and totals also.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not as complex as Crystal XI and still allows configurations for different levels of users. I deal with Managers and Support employees, some want to drill down into the details and others will review top-level reviews. There are parts that still need to be explained for some users, but -- overall -- that's dependant on the user's level of IT experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated reporting for regularly produce reports and ad-hoc reporting for those details needed on the fly, it's a good software to help the root cause analysis. I appreciate, as previously stated, the user interface for the most part is initiative and easily learned by individuals that are not SQL or Crystal trained.

I love the ease with which I can access or edit my database. I think MySQL is a very useful tool for any company to use for data storage.
