We performed a comparison between Exasol and MySQL 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."Performance is a top priority, and it excels in this aspect."
"We mainly chose Exasol for its performance reasons."
"It is easy to scale."
"We can quickly scale the solution as it works on an MPP system."
"Its speed is great."
"The speed is very good compared to other databases, like SQL Server or Oracle."
"The most valuable feature of Exasol is its speed."
"The solution is hands-off; you set it up insert your data and it self tunes queries."
"The deployment process is pretty fast."
"MySQL is a popular database platform for businesses because it is extremely easy to use."
"The replication feature is the most valuable. We are replicating our servers."
"Fully scalable and stable SQL-based RDBMS, with a straightforward and easy setup."
"The fact that it is free is what appeals to me the most."
"We are completely comfortable with the database’s performance and it is a mature product. My organization was looking for an open-source database for our smaller customers like the community edition. For bigger customers, we can scale into commercial and supported editions."
"The IO segregation in CGE is valuable."
"MySQL's clustering features are very strong, and you can automate scripting, so that helps. We wrote a Terraform script and ran it."
"There are limited resources available to help me resolve the issue with Exasol."
"It would be beneficial if the updates would occur more often."
"It's not cloud-native so many maintenance operations require downtime."
"You have to install Exasol drivers, and it's not easy to find or implement a driver into different systems."
"The only area where we found it could improve was in custom role creation and security, and it was difficult to work with."
"They don't talk very well to with other products when it comes to connectivity. Integration is lacking."
"They should improve the security features for MPP processing."
"Lacks a cloud-based platform."
"MySQL tutorials and guides could be improved. Often they are too complex for someone with no database experience to understand."
"When working with a cluster wide, I have to use the MySQL cluster version."
"We want to continue using MySQL but it merged with Oracle and the scalage changed."
"The licensing cost of the solution is expensive, which MySQL needs to consider improving."
"It can have better monitoring. In addition, the enterprise manager should be able to cater to more than one virtual machine. Currently, you need one license per server. It seems a bit too much to get one license for one enterprise manager. I hope the enterprise manager for MySQL can accommodate more virtual machines for MySQL."
"There should be more tools to manage the on-premises version and more automation features."
"In an upcoming release, there should be something added similar to EPL. For example, when using the flow diagram, we can create a schema. We have two useful features to add or create the table, but there should be some UI features to allow us to drag and drop to create other schemas. This would be very helpful."
"In the next release, I would like to see the scalability features improved to allow you to configure it and reduce the complexity with the configuration, making it easier for the end-user to scale. Make it as simple as it can be."
