very reliable and scalable database, which allows us to grow continuously
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it and if it does what is needed, then use it.
Quick and easy
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL was a quick and easy method for running SQL queries on large data sets. It was pretty similar to tools I had used previously and made for a pretty easy learning curve. Using the tool was above my ability and knowledge when I first started; but after a little research into how SQL works, I was good to go. It was definitely easier that the method we had used prior - filtering in Excel. But more than that, it worked well and quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
It could have been a bit easier with common functions prebuilt for drag-and-drop or just a quick reference, depending on user's experience level. Probably not needed for most cases. I will acknowledge that I did not built out the database we were using, just queried against it, though I did have to designate my primary key and the like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use MySQL to validate and troubleshoot very large data sets.
Prior to the time my team implemented SQL databases and using MySQL was recommended, our only option for debugging large data sets was to filter in Microsoft Excel. Not only is it highly limited, but Excel didn't really handle any of that well. I had started with a few different SQL tools and ended up sticking with MySQL because of its ease of use.

I found MySQL to be very easy to use. I did have to research some SQL to figure out what I needed, but it was pretty simple to pick up and run with it.
Good reliable dB.
What do you like best about the product?
Works well with content management systems.
Free choice

What do you dislike about the product?
Not as many features as oracle dB, so have to rely on the 3rd party tools.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Kickstarter dB, equivalent to oracle db
MySQL is solid for an open source platform
What do you like best about the product?
It seems to compete well with pay-for alternatives when it comes to a lot of enterprise class requirements. Easy replication, easy backups, fast querying.
What do you dislike about the product?
Backwards compatibility can be an issue. Especially version changes to the query optimizer can result in queries that were running fast on a previous version of mysql having major performance issues after an upgrade.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we use MySQL as our primary database technology at a software company in Overland Park, KS. We feel that it serves our needs well and compares well to alternatives that would cost more. We've enjoyed the benefits of it's easy integration with monitoring tools like New Relic and Vivid Cortex as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure that you need a good relational database to suit your needs. Lots of new technology popping up, like nosql - mongo, cassandra, even just caching systems like redis can meet a lot of performance needs without a full blown mysql implementation. also note that mysql is really more open source, at least I don't personally have experience with the enterprise edition. Percona is a great consulting firm to help out.

Managing internal and external databases, it improves efficency over command line.
MySQL database review
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL being an open source database has advantages over other licensed RDMS like Oracle.
MySQL is great since it supports data integrity constraints, ACID properties, Scalability and also high performance.
MySQL is great since it supports data integrity constraints, ACID properties, Scalability and also high performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
However, irrespective of the capability of the actual MYSQL database, efficiency of data storage/retrieval
depends really on how well the queries are optimized and also largely on the database design.
depends really on how well the queries are optimized and also largely on the database design.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been using MYSQL mainly for some of the downstream reporting components which take financial data from upstream components, have some queries run on them to build out reports for metric purposes.
Improving the time taken to generate these reports daily has been largely dependent on refactoring /tuning the queries to optimize the performance.

What do you dislike about the product?
When the dataset becomes really huge, the queries tend to become slow but can be easily fixed by using indexing
