Open-Source RDBMS, but almost gives you an Enterprise Performance

  • March 18, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
You have everything that you need in order to have a very well performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some bugs, that hits and basically give us some issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Basically, a lot of different business, I'm solving and solved using this, so basically or mostly E commerce. As I've mentioned you have same like an enterprise MySQL server.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is from my personal experience, if you are using MySQL Database Server, that is limiting you to tweak and perform a performance tuning and optimization, then this is the time for you to maximize everything and to have you a very well promising performance, by tweaking and tuning your database to the highest maximum limit. So, what you are waiting for, try and make a development testing or POC for your company to switch using this MySQL like Database Server,

MySQL server flavor MariaDB

  • July 30, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
For the most part, MariaDB is a binary drop in replacement for MySQL where you should be able to just fire up MariaDB from standard MySQL database already in production. You'll want to reference their site for any changes to be aware of (as there's even configuration settings and syntax differences between versions), but in general if you're running somewhat of a modern version of MySQL (5.1+), MariaDB 10.x (based on MySQL 5.6+), you shouldn't experience any problems after mysql upgrading the system tables.

In comparison to standard MySQL, there's a number of improvements (Percona also has many of the same and is very good too), including but not limited to:

- several other storage engines can be used
- significant speed improvements such as subqueries and joins with the optimizer
- faster and safer replication
- parallel replication
- innodb specific tunings (mostly related for speed)
- indexes for the memory(heap) engine considerably faster
- thread pools as of mariadb 5.1, even better in 5.5+
- gtid and multi-source replication
- fulltext searching support with InnoDB!
- table elimination
- microseconds implementation
- much better user stats and progress reporting when altering tables, loading data from infile, etc.

- truly open source!
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't say there isn't anything that I really dislike about MariaDB. In the newer versions, InnoDB supports fulltext searching (implemented as of MySQL 5.6) which makes converting table engines lucrative to avoid table locks for the most part that couldn't be done before since FULLTEXT was strictly MyISAM. They can still happen in certain cases, although will generally release pretty fast depending on the queries, system resources and the amount of load the system is under.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improved speed with queries, replication, the ability to convert MyISAM tables to InnoDB now that it supports FULLTEXT searching and eliminates table locks that MyISAM would impose based on how the storage engine works (table based locking with MyISAM vs row based locking with InnoDB).

The progress reporting via the MySQL CLI is rather useful for knowing the percentage amount done from an executed command, along with indicating how long it will take (per stage).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The amount of improvements / features MariaDB has only enhances standard MySQL to be better and is practically a drop-in replacement over standard MySQL.

I would highly recommend giving it a try if you're looking for performance increases and enhancements/features that are available.

A great MySQL Drop in replacement

  • July 27, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
MariaDB has all the strengths of MySQL with a faster development cycle and more reliable releases. Works great in place of any MySQL needs, the commands are even the same.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think that getting newer releases of the project (like MariaDB 10+) can be difficult on some enterprise distros, so I wish that official releases were more readily available in an RPM format.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Any database that used to require MySQL we have moved over to MariaDB. We find it to be higher performance, more reliable, and A+ software.

Maria DB Best for Compression and very fast

  • July 07, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
High availability, scalable, performance enhancement.
Yes, Maria provides amazing performance for my database. My ads campaign data bumps in here and Maria DB makes my read and insertion faster.
Yes, i will highly recommend Maria DB to others, we should use 10.x version of maria db , as it comes with tokudb compression out of the box.
Which helps us in compression also. as Toku compress and saves our hard disk space, which sometimes are costly. and its high availabiluty makes this better
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no reason as of now to dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Add server data is stored in Mysql with Maria DB.
Benefits are fast access . And its community support is also very good.

Leave MySQL-server for MariaDB right now!

  • April 01, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
MariaDB 10.0 was a complete drop-in replacement for MySQL server. No hassle in setup. Since switching to it, Everything just works as excpected, and faster, lighter, better than plain old MySQL.

We are very much looking forward to moving on to MariaDB 10.1 for some new features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much at all to dislike here.

Would like to have master-master replication for other Storage engines than InnoDB as well. MyISAM works, but causes issues due to not replicating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MariaDB Galera SQL Cluster in a large scale. Master-master replication works beautifully and without errors. We are rapidly scaling our MariaDB Galera clusters, and everything is working smoothly.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're migrating from MySQL-server, consider MariaDB 10.0 first, since it's a complete drop-in replacement. MariaDB 10.1 contains some improvements MySQL doesn't, and thus cannot be quite considered a drop-in replacement.

A very good opensource database solution

  • March 22, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is open source and fully compatible with MySQL, which means that I can safely use MySQL connector over ASP.NET, while I can always hope for new updates and fixes, totally for free.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's development focus is not very clear to me: doesn't seem to focus on performances nor very large set of functions/datatypes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mostly use it while developing websites.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a very good compromise between open source (free), stability and scalability. It is indeed the standard de-facto in web applications.

Drop in replacement for MySQL

  • March 18, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love that it is a drop in replacement for MySQL. Super easy to manage and find information about online because they kept it so close to the original.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it had a little more popularity. It is the default in CentOS 7 but it isn't in Debian 8. Because it is interchangeable with MySQL this isn't really a big deal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being a drop in replacement for MySQL allowed us to switch to CentOS 7 with ease. Updating to CentOS 7 let us use more up to date software across our stack. Using MariaDB is dead simple because of the history with MySQL. Tutorials for anything that needs to be done is just a search away. Easy implementation and no additional training.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a drop in replacement for MySQL so updating your application to use it instead should be almost trivial. Almost all tutorials and documentation available for MySQL will apply to MariaDB as well.
