Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, PostgreSQL, MariaDB and others in Open Source Databases."What I like best about MariaDB is that it is open-source and reliable."
"The solution runs very quickly. It's not slow at all."
"The stability of MariaDB is good, it has high availability."
"It's easy to set up."
"For non-production purposes. I'm just using it for my personal project, so it works quite well. I haven't faced any errors yet."
"The most valuable feature of MariaDB is that it is open-source and we can easily migrate from other databases, such as Oracle to MariaDB."
"It's open source."
"MariaDB is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."
"It's a distributed relational database, so it does not have a single server, it has multiple servers. Its architecture itself is fast because it has multiple nodes to distribute the workload and process large amounts of data."
"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short."
"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."
"The product's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes."
"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."
"The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."
"It doesn't have the same level of maturity metrics as Postgres."
"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."
"An improvement would be scaling it up to the levels of Oracle, especially when it comes to resilience, so that we can do higher transactions for two databases or power our operation."
"Data continuity could be improved."
"The GUI could be improved a bit. The user interface needs to be improved."
"MariaDB doesn't handle long or complex SQL queries quite as well as Oracle Database."
"The stability could always continue to be improved upon."
"Document caching is an area of concern in the product, where improvements are required to help MariaDB improve on the previous queries as they are retained, and you can roll back to them."
"It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks."
"The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings."
"There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great."
"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."
"Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial."
"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally."
"For new customers, it's very tough to start. Their documentation isn't organized, and there's no online training available. SingleStore is working on it, but that's a major drawback."
