Used to support websites and reduces the configuration and maintenance of the database
The solution's initial setup is complex. You have to understand networking when filling out a form to create your RDS. You have to understand a few things. They've made some steps to make it easier, but the person who creates the RDS has to make some irrevocable decisions. They can't be configured afterward. The person who utilizes it has to understand a few things, like networking security and database engines. The solution's deployment has a learning curve, and you have to do it a couple of times to understand exactly what it is and what you want. The deployment is pretty fast and straightforward once you understand the parameters of what you're trying to deploy. Understanding what you're doing probably takes the longest part. If you make any mistakes, you might have to redo it or configure it differently. It's great for those who can afford it. In my business practice, I make sure I can afford a test sandbox so that my mistakes don't impact production. I vet it all out in a different environment before I touch production.

Excellent reporting server that is compatible with MySQL
We ran into some quirks that Infobright had. We interacted with Infobright's support and were able to resolve them. There still are issues with data replication - Infobright is currently for one server (unless you buy the Infobright appliance). This would mean that redundancy is something you need to implement yourself.

Pros

"The scalability and cost-effectiveness of AWS were beneficial during spikes in database usage, as it allowed our platform to adjust and remain operational."
"The solution reduces the configuration and maintenance of the database."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple and straightforward."

Cons

"The tool should include features to clone the RDS instances and have more central management for a lot of RDSs, not just every instance."
"I would like to see some improvements in its version upgrades because its upgrade from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8 was not straightforward."
"If our database is too big, we sometimes face glitches in it."
"I find the pricing to be expensive."
