MySQL
What do you like best about the product?
As the world's most used database, MySql is the best one can ask for.
What do you dislike about the product?
Data export sometimes lags and can be with errors have to used other IDE for that

It makes it very easy to store and retrieve data.
MYSQL- user friendly database
What do you like best about the product?
There are lots of things which i like about mysql like, it is very very user friendly, easy to setup, easy to upgrade the version, easy to take backup and restore and easy to set up replication
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing which i dislike about the product, but some time i feel support should answer the tickets bit late and takes more than a usual time, otherwise it is one of the best database i have ever used
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
earlier our company were having small database on MS-Access which is not relational, we have to open multiple sheets to work on that, then we have migrated all our access sheets to mysql in a free-tier and started working on the database, then we have build our application like that and now we feel we are very late in using RDBMS
An easy-to-install solution that is used for customer management authentication
What is our primary use case?
We use MySQL for customer management authentication in our company.
What is most valuable?
The use of MySQL is really dictated by the software we use. So we have put software that dictates the use of MySQL and MongoDB. We think we've found the goal of the company related to strengthening its business systems.
What needs improvement?
Since we started the development, like, three years ago, it's just been improving, so there are no areas that need to improve. It is easy to use.
The licensing cost of the solution is expensive, which MySQL needs to consider improving.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using MySQL for three years. It's based on the call systems or based on the console.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten since it has been running flawlessly.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It works well. So, I rate its scalability a ten out of ten. Our company is managing hundreds to thousands of clients, but we use MySQL for different projects. So, around 50 users work on it.
In terms of increasing the solution's usage, I think we've done enough, like, stabilizing MySQL.
How are customer service and support?
Our company has contacted the technical support of MySQL. It was very easy to get connected to them. However, it cost us a fortune. For SMBs in South Africa, a thousand or ten thousand dollars an hour is a lot of money. It was expensive, but it was worth it.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have previously used a solution for location and mapping-related stuff. Our choice to move to MySQL was dictated by software. So, we use different programs for applications.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process takes a few seconds.
What about the implementation team?
We had to seek the help of some consultants to implement the product since there was some difficult stuff. But that was long ago. Nowadays, we avoid seeking help from consultants since it has become pretty simple. So, better experienced and well-trained people would do it for us. It's not a problem.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I believe we have a few cluster solutions. I think that MySQL is a premium product. But I don't manage that part.
What other advice do I have?
The solution's documentation and support are awesome. Also, its speed has increased in the last few years. So, we have never had any issues with it. If there were any errors, then they were human errors.
Today with many other options, we stick with MySQL and recommend it to others. There are so many other things that are more suitable for different purposes, and I will have to do research to know more about them. MySQL has been around for a decade, so something cannot go wrong. Its big support communities make it easy to resolve problems since there is always somebody who can help.
I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Best in Class and Ease Of Use From the RDBMS Family
What do you like best about the product?
MySql is providing a database storage solution where we can store our personal, business, Analytics related data in a structured way. And later on, once we are required we can get it via SQL script, These are the basics, what actually MySQL provides is industry-level security, consistency in Database, and providing zero data loss solution for the business. Mainly MySQL is known for its Transactional Database and very hot favorite in the Banking sector.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing to dislike About MySQL since its providing Database services, its family of RDBMS (Relational Database management system), And this is how we expect it to run. But if we see at the technical level, then there are multiple Technical lags that other DBMS are providing in the market, like Logical replication is the most missing feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MySQL is ACID compliant Database service, doing this it's making sure our data will be no loss and it provides high security to be hacked by hackers, Since it's coming from the RDBMS family it works on a very known language called SQL, and using this we can store and retrieve data seamlessly. since it's coming as community and enterprise version, we can take license as we required, Mostly MySQL use by the community version and its community is too big since its very pioneer system which is providing the database solution.
Review of MySQL
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about MySQL is it provides a clean and easy interface, easy to creates schema and can draw entity relationship diagrams. We can import and export all the queries in an easy manner. I like the integrity of MySQL on mutliple popular IDE's like Springboot, Eclipse, and many more. It also provides the features of backup and restore the data and database.
What do you dislike about the product?
I faced an issue in MySQL while database connection in MySQL Workbench, as it shows server stopped error multiple time, and unable to find the proper solution of this error. Only this one i dislike in this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MySQL is a relation database management system and it solving the problem of efficiently handling of large amount of data. Before this, all the data was stored on excel spreadsheet which is difficult to manage, and even high-end configuration system also got stucked while handling. but as the arrival of RDBMS system, it solves a very huge problem. This problem solving by MySQL that i am getting the benefit.
Apart from this, I also want to share how Eclipse integrate with MySQL :-
1. before making connection from eclipse to MySQL, there is a MySQL connector file must be present.
2. After that, open the 'Data Explorer' in Eclipse by clicking on the ' window ' menu, then choose ' perspective ' option.
3. then press 'right-click' on ' database connection ' and select new to create a new connection.
4. then in "New Connection" profile, click on 'MySQL' type and click next.
5. Enter the name of your connection, host address,port no, username and password.
6. then click on test connection to check the database integrity.
7. Once the connection successful, then click on 'Finish' to create the connection .

MySQL a necessary tool for everyone
What do you like best about the product?
The practicality of MySQL together with its power to store data, makes this tool very powerful and essential for any programmer, from those who are starting to the most experienced.
What do you dislike about the product?
MySQL does not have a good capacity to store large volumes of data, being inferior to SQL Server that can do this task. In addition to being a little confusing in its installation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storing customer information and that benefits me because I can have a history if a customer claims to have done something and sometimes ended up not doing it. This way I can manage this data better and I can even analyze it.
