An Intuitive and Robust RDBMS
What do you like best about the product?
I use the mysql community and personally, the mysql workbench is an intuitive tool and allows me to quickly get a job done. If you're just starting out on database, this is a must-learn skill.
What do you dislike about the product?
The workbench might contain some (non-critical) bugs which affects the display of the results. However, it should be noted that the advantages far exceeds its disadvantages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primarily using mysql for teaching and learning purposes.
Maturity matters
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is 22 years old this month, and that matters. A database technology is only as good as its least-reliable part, and there aren't many holes in MySQL.
Because of its popularity over the years, there are solutions to nearly everything in MySQL.
MySQL is a strong implementation of a simple idea, without the headache of bells and whistles; it's the straight-razor shave of databases.

MySQL is a strong implementation of a simple idea, without the headache of bells and whistles; it's the straight-razor shave of databases.
What do you dislike about the product?
MySQL performance falls off a cliff with long tables in a way that other technologies don't. If you want to use MySQL to handle an implementation at scale, it requires some creative massaging (e.g https://medium.com/@Pinterest_Engineering/sharding-pinterest-how-we-scaled-our-mysql-fleet-3f341e96ca6f).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MySQL handles reporting tables (produced via ETL jobs through Hive over Hadoop HDFS) with almost zero ongoing engineering effort. Coupled with the mature connections from almost any tech stack you can imagine, it's easy to implement MySQL to pre-compute larger queries based on larger data sources on a regular basis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is easy to implement MySQL, and easy to move for MySQL to other products. Don't overthink it!
MySQL Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like MySQL because:
1) It's free.
2) It is can be used in both Windows and Unix.
3) I like the MySQL community
4) It allows multiple users to access to a variety of databases.
5) It was easier to learn than other databases.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that it's losing the open source. I think since Oracle bought it, updates and upgrades are lacking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In higher education, I use it for pulling a data for surveys for accreditation, as well as, reporting. It has helped to pull all types of data in one spot and organize it relationally for reporting purposes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I use MySQL workbench or Toad to create my queries, stored procedures, data models..
SQL- Excellent for small businesses
What do you like best about the product?
It is light and easy to install. Its portable and flexible and the interface is pretty straightforward
What do you dislike about the product?
Scalability is a big issue for mySQL. It works great with small data sets, but for large data it is not that efficient. It has fewer reporting options built on top of it compared to other databases. Less sophisticated options for mirroring and data encryption.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am currently working on development of an open source DBMS(Hive). I am using mysql as metastore for Hive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are writing smaller software, software that is mainly web focused this may be the database for you.
But if If you need to write a lot of records, using multiple servers, then some NoSQL databases (like Aerospike, Cassandra, ...) might be a better suit, or you can use some heavy SQL databases like Oracle.

Great and light DBMS
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is a light and easy to install on most of the operating systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
MySQL configurations are tricky. This happens when configuring MySQL for production purposes. Allowing access to the remote server and giving privileges to the existing users is quite challenging.
Also, the performance tuning parameters, especially with big data, require deep knowledge of the configurations trade-offs.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Research projects and non-big data problems.
Easy and complete
What do you like best about the product?
It is really easy. You have a lot of tools to manage it: Toad, Mysql Workbench. It is robust.
What do you dislike about the product?
You cannot define unique index on nullable fields. And it goes on growing more and more, and it can be explosive if you have big tables
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Each problem that needs table can be sorted with mysql. But the size of tables should be less than 10 milions of records.
Review of MySQL
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is very easy to learn, especially for a beginner.
What do you dislike about the product?
I believe that MySQL is difficult to scale for large database.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my view, MySQL is very suitable for a small website or for a blog.
Great database for any web based development!!!
What do you like best about the product?
I have been a web developer for years now and using MySQL has been a breeze. I originally used Microsoft SQL Server but I love how easy it is to setup a MySQL database. Also, it comes bundled with Wordpress which means that I have a strong database structure right out of the gate. Every command I have thrown against it works great and the support and community are always available to help.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really don't have anything I dislike about MySQL. In my usage (web development and open source development) everything I have thrown at it works without an issue.
The caveat to this is the configuration file can be difficult to setup. If you don't know what you are doing you can corrupt your whole database. The best practice to resolve this is to always make a copy of that file and then change the copy.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since I use Wordpress mainly I use MySQL every day. I have been able to run some very complex queries when needed at it. Also, Wordpress integrates and builds the database for you. Another nice feature is being able to customize and extend the database to fit your specific needs
I have also used MySQL with custom built web applications and it handles that without a problem.

If you are building web-based applications in PHP, Python, or JAVA and you need to get started quick MySQL is the way to go.
My experience with MySQL
What do you like best about the product?
I have never used a different database program, this is my first and I'm still learning.
I love how simple MySQL statements can be - select, use, etc.
You can start very basic and get more in depth, and it's not *simple* to learn but it's intuitive enough.
I like the organization and all the reports you can run/all the information you can view about tables.

What do you dislike about the product?
I did not like getting started. When I first started with MySQL it was one of the first times I had ever touched Terminal, and I had no idea what I was doing. When I was asked to type into terminal the /path/to/mysql, I actually typed in /path/to/mysql
Other than that, there's not a whole lot that I actually dislike!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're hosting customer databases in MySQL, and making sure all their tables are clean, repaired, and optimized.
We had issues with MySQL 5.6 sometimes stopping on I believe Yosemite, and other issues with PID file as well as with 5.7, but now that I'm aware of these issues it has become a lot easier to direct customers towards a solution.
We host everything on MySQL so having only one platform to work with is great.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I really can't say a whole lot, but if I could familiarize myself with MySQL, I'm sure many others could as well.
Learning MySQL syntax can be done!
What do you like best about the product?
If you are diligent even a non-developer can learn MySQL syntax for queries.
What do you dislike about the product?
No issues to report does what is required when you have some of the basic syntax.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Moving from data silos to point solutions.
