- command line is rich, but it would be great if the help doc offers more examples
- mysql database replication may not be as rich as other databases, such as oracle and ms sql server.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we use mysql to store our business related transaction data. mysql is very fast, stable and easy to use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For transaction database and light weight saas development using micro service oriented architecture, mysql is the best database as far as I know. it works very well in my previous and current job. I strongly recommend it to any one who are considering different solutions of light weight rich support databases.

MySQL at Houzz

  • September 26, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's intuitive and simple. I've been trained in Postgres but switching over has been seamless so far -- I'm new though so I haven't used as much mySQL as some of the other engineers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, nothing has jumped out at me that is unappealing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a company, we are trying to modernize and simplify the process of home remodeling and design by bringing together homeowners, professionals and manufacturers in one platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's probably a good idea since as far as I know it's the most widely used RDBMS out there.

No UI to manage the system level details (like viewpoint for Teradata)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Internal Tools, eCommerce and my personal website

Using MySQL to store relevance continuous performance tests results

  • September 22, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and learn. Also easy to setup. It has strong authentication features. It is also very easy to integrate with UI tools so that the data can be seen and visualized.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not many distributed features. Hard to use when having heavy writes and heavy reads. It is also very hard to scale when the cluster is running on production. We cannot really add any nodes or remove nodes. It follows master/slave architecture which is difficult given a master or masters are down. Might lead to split-brain problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Mysql to store the performance results of the relevance platform of our company. There would be different relevance experiments which would be running and we need to compare the performance data such as latency, qps etc among them and also see the distribution between various versions.

What do you like best about the product?
Free!!!!! It's a Very bailable database platform that is used by industries of all types of all profit levels. Has some pretty powerful tools included.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve without a gui. It makes it harder for someone who wants to build an advanced environment from scratch.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Used in conjunction with various applications . Cost is great.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Depends on how advanced you want your environment to be. Highly recommended if cost is one of your primary concerns. It's pretty easy if you only want the basics. More afmdavanced tools have more of a learning curve.

Great Structured Query Language

  • July 19, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's MySQL, basically the most prolific SQL out there (don't quote me on that). It's old, well known, robust, and it just works. I happen to like it and have maintained large apps with a MySQL backend. There are newer solutions out there that are faster, and maybe even easier to use. But once you get used to the query structure MySQL is actually fairly intuitive. It can get kind of confusing if you're really diving into it with big joins and such, but that's the beauty of it; lots of ways to be specific.
What do you dislike about the product?
Depending on how big the tables/databases you're working with, queries can be slow. They can be slow enough that they will actually bring down your machine if you're not careful. So there is a lot of optimization; y you have to know what you're doing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using it to store huge amounts of data, and is easy to maintain, and easily manipulated as well!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Does it meet your requirements? Is there anything newer you might want to use? Do you want something tried and dependable?

Great program for a beginner

  • June 22, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the easy and intuitive UI layout and design. It looks sleeker and more professional that other SQL clients I use so when given the choice, I would select MySQL over other products. MySQL was the first program I used when I started using SQL.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice if it was easier to set a default schema, so then when you open the program you're already connected to the database you use most frequently. When I started on this product a coworker set the default for me, and I haven't been able to figure out how to change the over-arching default since.

It would also be nice to have a copy and paste feature that copies the headings from the columns too. I use another SQL client that has the ability and it's much more convenient than exporting the data to get the column headers with the data itself.

It would also be nice to have the automatic highlighting when you toggle/scroll across parenthesis and brackets. It really helps (especially a beginner) to see when ( ) and [ ] start and stop.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use MySQL for data collection, summary, pivoting, etc. specifically for reporting purposes. I am a Data Analyst and I pull data using MySQL and format it to be used in reports, or to be used in statistical analyses.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great software for someone who is just starting to dabble with SQL. Color coding on your queries is helpful. UI is intuitive.
