We performed a comparison between Amazon Aurora and Oracle MySQL Cloud Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the ability to do multiple-read and single-write. These are the kinds of features that we were interested in, and Aurora takes care of that natively."
"The most valuable feature is that the maintainability is offloaded to the service provider. I don't have to maintain a database or do any administrative tasks, which comes in handy."
"Aurora's compatibility with MySQL or PostgreSQL benefited our database management. The migration from on-premise MySQL to Aurora was similar, so we didn't need to change our source code."
"The provision of custom read and write endpoints eliminates the need for managing a separate proxy load balancer."
"The solution’s scalability is good since we don’t need to take a maintenance window during unpredictable workloads. I like the solution’s behind-the-scenes happenings. It is a great feature."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon Aurora is SQL standardization, it doesn't have its own syntax which is good. It has a lot of hands-off self-management type of activities, such as log rolling and auto-scaling."
"We had better control over the parameters that we could tweak in terms of intermediate storage and better indexing capabilities."
"It is very easy to start working with the product."
"The product is easy to learn."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to use and implement."
"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 overall is very, very good. It's got good integration with other databases and adds new features often."
"The solution's performance is good."
"The most valuable feature is the data aggregation function."
"The pricing could improve. It should be reduced."
"The product's distributed query process for MySQL needs improvement."
"It would have been helpful if they had provided some benchmarking numbers."
"I would like to see performance insights on the database based on the queries. Currently, we use SolarWinds as the monitoring tool. I would like to leverage SolarWinds’ performance insights in AWS services. SolarWinds gives larger insights when we run performance issues."
"It is a bit costly. The features are quite good, and I wouldn't say it requires any technical improvements. But from a cost perspective, some clients wouldn't go for Aurora because of that."
"There is improvement needed to have more developer focus. Additionally, it would be helpful to have a stand-alone solution outside of Amazon. Amazon has a tendency to favor developing web-based clients, which may not always provide the fastest or most responsive solution as desired."
"I would like to see more AI-related features in future releases."
"The technical support is in need of improvement."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service's scalability is an area of concern that can be better."
"The product has many bugs."
"Sometimes, we face syntax issues with the solution."
"The support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues."
"They could include more advanced features like clustering and replication in the Oracle databases."
"It requires a significant amount of expertise and effort to manage, especially when dealing with substantial volumes of data."
"There could be more courses where the people could learn more easily how to use the tool."
