We performed a comparison between Milvus and MySQL based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Open Source Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The best feature of Milvus was finding the closest chunk from a huge amount of data."
"The solution is well containerized, and since containerization is quick and easy for me, I can scale it up quickly."
"Milvus has good accuracy and performance."
"The most valuable features are that it's free and the documentation is good."
"The speed is very good."
"I am totally satisfied with MySQL."
"The most valuable feature of MySQL is auto-scaling."
"Table partitioning is most valuable. It is easy to use."
"It is pretty simple to use and I don't have anything really bad to say about it."
"My main reason for using MySQL for this small customer database company and for some kinds of scientific projects was that I had to do the installation myself. I didn't have a database administration team behind me. Therefore, I was looking for something very easy to handle. MySQL is easy to install, connect, and do all such things."
"The connectivity with PHP is quite good."
"I've heard that when we store too much data in Milvus, it becomes slow and does not work properly."
"Milvus' documentation is not very user-friendly and doesn't help me get started quickly."
"Milvus has higher resource consumption, which introduces complexity in implementation."
"The tool needs to improve table visualization."
"I did the implementation of the solution myself and I used community support. The support from the vendor costs money."
"The solution could have better integration and security features."
"Clusters are hard to perform so we use no SQL alternates like MongoDB."
"There should be an arrangement for end-users to get trained to use the tool...Improvement-wise, a graphical interface could be added for new users, eliminating the need to memorize the complex syntax."
"In terms of what I'd like to see in the next release, one thing that's always missing is dash boarding. There's no real BI tool for MySQL, like there is in Yellowfin and all the different tools that you get. They all have MySQL connectors, but there's no specific BI tool for MySQL. These open source projects have sprung up, but they're more general purpose."
"Even for the best database, we always want the database to perform much better, so we wish MySQL would be much better, in terms of performance."
"I would like to see some improvements in the solution’s integration aspects."
