"The solution is very easy to implement."
"The product has been stable and reliable."
"It is very simple to install, and the commands are exactly the same as MySQL."
"This solution is user-friendly."
"I haven't faced any technical issues with the product, and it works fine."
"MariaDB is easy to install and is stable and scalable."
"MariaDB has a straightforward initial setup with easy-to-understand documentation."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service handles data easily."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is data migration."
"The product is easy to learn."
"The scalability of the database is absolutely guaranteed by the new features."
"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."
"It is very easy to start working with the product."
"The product is good for tuning."
"The GUI could be improved a bit. The user interface needs to be improved."
"We'd like more data intelligence."
"With respect to clustering and the master-slave configuration, sometimes the slave goes out of synch."
"The solution should do some fine-tuning on maybe the transaction per second so that users can get more than they can on the Microsoft SQL Server."
"The difficult part related to the product stems not from the tool itself but is related to learning how to implement the product in the right way without creating any wrong configuration that could cause security issues or performance issues."
"The interface should be more user-friendly. It should be able to connect directly to the database and Interact with it without having to use commands. It needs better integration."
"Data continuity could be improved."
"MariaDB could improve by adding support for non-relational structures and new data types."
