  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Best to implement and fast to perform operation. It can be used for any website as it is portable and fast to perform operations. Security is the main reason the administrator can give permission to access the tables in databases. The caching improves the performance of operation as looping or repeated operations are performed. There is good interface and store statement to perform operation no needs to write the statement.
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to maintain so it should be handle by developer only. Debugging is not stored procedure statement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps to store the data and information for the various website.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is easy to implement and handle huge amount data.

MySQL still the best in 2019

  • January 27, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I work on customer support mainly with MySQL customers but i'm also web developer and i've been using MySQL for years now.


What i liked best is that MySQL an open source project and that means that there are tons of thousands of supports and help is available on the internet for free. I have found this to be particularly very helpful in sorting out otherwise difficult situations. One of the best things about MySQL is that is so popular that you will find a huge community of people ready to help you with any problem you have.

I have used MYSQL with Apache/PhpMyAdmin JAVA and PHP and it Worked seamlessly with them. I have observed that MYSQL works best when you use InnoDB instead Mylsam.
What do you dislike about the product?
The official tutorials are very complicated to follow sometimes, i rather prefer to check stackoverflow than check mysql faqs ...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used MySQL in a project that was covered under the GPL license thus it was free. This helped My company save a lot of expenses compared to when we were using SQL server.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use MySQL transactions when you are working with business database, you don't want to lose their data and probably your job!

MySQL is a main component of my business

  • January 25, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I am a heavy user of MySQL. I have literally been using MySQL since 2003 when I installed forum software for the first time. Today, I own and run a forum service provider running on MySQL with over a million database tables and billions of queries. The reliability of MySQL is what I love best.
What do you dislike about the product?
That it's owned by Oracle for a few years now. I feel that Oracle has a very erratic attitude toward free and open source software. MariaDB was created purely because of this reason.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MySQL allows me to run hundreds of thousands of forums from a single database and single set of files. It scales extremely well in this regard.

Excellent and reliable database

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I am a developer of systems under web environment, and in many opportunities I use MySQL database manager, it is fundamental to in my team for a long time.
MySQL provides easy to use interface to make db queries to read, update, create, deletion of data.
What do you dislike about the product?
It didn't support complex datatypes suck as json and array.
It doesn't support SQL check constraints that is used to validate the data. Although it says that it's scalable upto 8TB MySQL cannot efficiently work with large and complex database
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I love MySQL as it is easy to integrate as compared to Microsoft SQL server.
It is best in terms of performance done the speed of opreciones is very good.
It does several operative systems and Is easy to install and configure

MySQL the best Database tech out there.

  • January 25, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
MySQL provides ease of use. MySQL has cross platform support on which implementation and integration would not be a problem. I like the ease of connection to other programming languages and also management of large data querys.

It is best partnered with other open source products.

Pros:
- First off it is free and open source
- Excellent scale-able database system
- Works perfectly with Linux or Unix servers
- When paired with PHP MyAdmin you can easily work inside your databases from anywhere
- Excellent storage capacity and retrieval
- Can easily store millions of records without issue
- Did I mention it is FREE!
What do you dislike about the product?
It turns slow if you don't have a BEAST server to handle thousands of users at the same time.

More cons:
- Unless you want to be working in a command prompt you need to install 3rd party software like PHP MyAdmin to administrate the database; that said most hosting companies install these by default for you already.
- Some built-in functions to MySQL actually slow down queries to a crawl and ignore your indexes; for example using the DATE() on a datetime column ignores any index in that column.
- Not as robust as Oracle or SQL for large datasets; it will work but it does slow down performance as your data pool grows. Normally this does not happen until you get well into the millions of records and even then there are things you can do to speed up performance but it is worth noting it is not as fast out of the box as other enterprise systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company posses hunders of databases which contains millions of records and i assure you MySQL is the best relational database management system that would meet the needs of the company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The reason why I recommend this product is because many more people are switching over to it and it's fairly easy to use. New businesses or other new organizations would be ideal for this as it will be easy to transfer over from what they had before MySQL.

  • January 24, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
MySQL comes free and it has saved us a lot of money. deployment is extremely easy, support is always up and quick. We can add tables, edit and delete. Data migration and replication can also be done.

unfortunately database conversion is not possible, they also don't provide mobile access.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has saved us a lot of expenditure for being free as other DB's are quite expensive.

The all around best database for software applications

  • January 24, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
With only a small amount of simple syntax I can define all the necessary actions to build, maintain and access a database. Using MySQL is straight forward and intuitive. With a some practice, you can easily build a database for any application. The stability and scalability make it great for building large scale applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be difficult at times to correct a mistake after you have run an incorrect command. Once a change has been made to a database it is very difficult to undo it. It would be nice if there was an easier way to revert to an older version of your database or an undo feature. Additionally it would be nice if there was a way to build a sandbox version of your database and then automatically update the live instance with changes from the sandbox after testing to insure safety/functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been able to use MySQL to build databases for smartphone and web based applications. It is a very efficient and dependable solution for storing and accessing data for applications with multiple users like social media apps and information sharing services. I can't see myself choosing any other database for mobile or web based applications in the near future.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you haven't done database and also basic programming before then you should learn some of each before attempting MySQL. Taking a tutorial on SQL would also be good for first time users.
