We performed a comparison between Faiss and MySQL based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, PostgreSQL, Firebird and others in Open Source Databases."The product has better performance and stability compared to one of its competitors."
"However, it is easy to scale MySQL using the functions provided with the product."
"I rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten since it has been running flawlessly."
"Apart from the features that are in the enterprise part, we find the database to be valuable. The connectors and the backup features are valuable as well. We use the basic database. We don't really use the extra features. Our clients like the security features in the database."
"A lot of the software components have been trialed and tested for often more than 10 years."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Support for enterprise-grade features like clustering, master-slave replication, even Sharding (to some extent) which is an advanced feature."
"MySQL gives us all of the critical features that we need in a database, but without the costs."
"I like the simplistic view of MySQL to build custom queries and things like that as compared to SQL Server, which seems more cluttered. SQL Server has a query analyzer. MySQL pretty much does the same, and performance-wise, it has less overhead for connecting to our ERP system. It seems more responsive and cleaner. With MySQL, you get what you need without any overbloating, for which Microsoft is known. That's why they have so many constant security patches for everything because there is so much stuff, which degrades performance."
"It could be more accessible for handling larger data sets."
"Integration is a key feature in need of improvement."
"The solution could improve the monitoring. At the present time, you need to use third-party monitoring solutions."
"The solution could improve by having better performance and security."
"The replication needs improvement. It's becoming a native cloud product like Oracle DB or Cockroach DB."
"Oracle should start putting in some of the enterprise features in the standard feature. There are some key features that should be part of the standard."
"I would like to see the automatic backup feature in the solution as well. Data is very important and we need to preserve it in a safe place. It would be good if MySQL can back up the data automatically."
"Could use some additional JSON query support in the solution."
"We want high availability and replication features, which are currently missing in this solution. It would be great if they can provide an in-built replication feature, similar to Oracle RAC, in MySQL."
