MySQL review
What do you like best about the product?
It is a very old product so it has lots of documentation and examples to show how to do what you want. Even if it is a fairly odd use case. It is a time proven product that is still very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some features that could be improved on that other databases have. MySQL could use to look at the features of newer databases and implement them. It would really help to make MySQL even more desirable and easier to use in specific situations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
storing data. The benefits of using mySQL are many and are better found by doing a simple google search of it than reading them here.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely look at different databases to find the one that works best for the situation you are trying to solve. There are different versions of databases that are almost the same as MySQL but with different features that could help in different use cases. MySQL is a great solution for many problems though, and is probably the most used database out there so far.
MySQL is easy to use and learn

For a relational database MySQL is fairly easy to learn, especially for someone with coding skills. The internet is full of examples of code and syntax. Easy to install and use, with a low learning curve.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only relational. Can be a pain to transfer to another database.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organized relational data.

What do you dislike about the product?
Query can be slow on big tables, or with a lot of joins.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using MySQL in one of our internal web platform, and it fits our requirements perfectly. By using a free, open-source database suite such as MySQL, we saved the cost of license to use a proprietary one like Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
MySQL is the correct choice for a free, open-source database suite for use with web sites, business applications and more. If you are looking for a free, feature-rich & high-performance database suite, try MySQL.

Medium level software development team member perspective
What do you like best about the product?
Because one of the most popular DB in the market and the support to this DB is a lot more than any other DB. We also integrate to cloud with different languages support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Actually, everything was fine except, not worked well with huge amount of data. We needed to optimize in case we receive a lot more data we have planned.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Health information related problem that we have been working on. Unfortunately, I can not give more info about the project because of terms. But I can say that mysql did good job in the system circle.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to build up something that easy to use and easy to development, mysql is the right choice. Also, if your team is consist of a few developers, mysql can satisfy with development process and and straight forward build up time. Postgrsql and Oracle can be other alternatives but the investment to this product can save your life and money in long term scheduling.
MySQL for Health Care claims analysis
What do you like best about the product?
I like that MySQL customizable. It meets our need for multiple user access.

It is not always easy to standardize. Analysts will make too many views or queries that we do not have documentation on how to replicate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Analysis of clinical claims data to find patient populations for a grant program
Good database management experience with MySQL

Have used MySQL in the past. Has awesome indexing and searching capabilities. Really like its embedded database library.
What do you dislike about the product?
A major limitation of mySQL is with respect to foreign key referencing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Used mySQL to help build a patient management system for a hospital. This helped in the creation of a much convenient (all-in-one-place) database that contained all patient information available at a single click!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good and easy to use database development tool, especially for new developers like me.
MySQL Review
What do you like best about the product?
Good features and easy to implement.
Cost of license, set up time is very minimal. Takes few hrs to set up a DR solution or multi master replication system.
It's simple but also offers many knobs to tune.
Platform independence.
Big data using MySQL as the operational data store for Hadoop and cassandra

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing specific at this time. Too many patches coming out recently, not sure that's a good thing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
implementing In house OLTP systems.
Stable and cost effective DB system
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL has proven that it can be a serious choice for enterprise level software. I find this product intuitive in a lot of ways -in terms of interacting with it as a user. It has been growing although not as fast as it needs to to be competitive. Some great things working for MySQL: They have been making code more modular. In MySQL 5.6, they moved one of the crucial locks ( the LOCK_open) in the MySQL Server to modular code which has the potential to improve performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the features that allow MySQL to compete with noSQL technology are slow in coming. It lacks in maturity somewhat and some of the features I expect to be implemented by now are not there yet for example user security.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its cost effective. We used it for small to medium scale operations.
