We performed a comparison between Firebird SQL and Oracle MySQL Cloud Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Open Source Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like that we don't have to pay external fees to migrate this data. So, we are looking to relocate from Postgres or EDB."
"The product was easy to use."
"Robustness is the absolutely main feature."
"It helps us in detecting all kinds of problems in the code, such as bad quality, unclear code, or any violation in the code or best practices."
"Firebird SQL is an open-source solution."
"The documentation is very well written."
"I can deploy it on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows — it's very easy."
"The solution is very useful for stock management."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to use and implement."
"MySQL is a centralized RDBMS in itself, and you don't have the overkill of having the full Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server. It's ideal, and it helps with the developer console. It has three versions for developers. It's a very good tool for open source."
"The stability of the solution is very good. I wouldn't have used it for the past seven years if I was not satisfied."
"It's easy to use."
"The access to a suite of management and administration tools that simplify tasks such as database provisioning, configuration, and monitoring."
"The product is good for tuning."
"The solution's performance is good."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service handles data easily."
"I don't think the solution is very scalable, because the scalability of the performance when using more than one process is not very good."
"Database sharing is a capability that Firebird SQL lacks."
"Technical support and performance could be better. We have some problems with this solution, but we don't know if the problem is with the database or the configuration. For example, sometimes, the users can't access the database."
"On large databases, we have some difficulties."
"It is not easy to integrate the tool with Visual Studio."
"It would be good to have more automation and integration with the tools from other vendors."
"Firebird SQL's performance has slowed since Firebird SQL 3 or 3.5 versions, where they developed over-the-wire encryption."
"It would be interesting if they added functionality with redundancy, reputation, and variability."
"The tool’s stability must be improved."
"The support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues."
"The user interface is not simple."
"Sometimes MySQL does upgrades on the server. When we are still using the old server and when they integrate the upgrade, they don't carry along some of the old syntaxes. The versions don't sync."
"The product has many bugs."
"They could include more advanced features like clustering and replication in the Oracle databases."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service's scalability is an area of concern that can be better."
"It requires a significant amount of expertise and effort to manage, especially when dealing with substantial volumes of data."
