"MySQL has cross-platform support for multiple operating systems. The backups on a Linux machine can be restored on a Windows machine, and vice versa."
"MySQL's clustering features are very strong, and you can automate scripting, so that helps. We wrote a Terraform script and ran it."
"Table partitioning is most valuable. It is easy to use."
"It was easy to install."
"We use the basic features of MySQL. The interface that allows us to see the parameters of the server is good."
"This product is a good teaching tool for students who want to learn about networked databases."
"For sure, the solution is very stable."
"It's a good tool, a good database platform."
"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short."
"The analytics features are in need of improvement."
"Sometimes, not because the version is not the latest version, there are some issues with it. Sometimes there's an issue with the server which creates issues with it."
"It could be a little bit simpler to use."
"I did the implementation of the solution myself and I used community support. The support from the vendor costs money."
"It is not as powerful as SQL Server. It can be more powerful. It is not scalable and has certain limitations, which is not the case with SQL Server."
"It should provide better customer experiences."
"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."
"Scalability could be improved."
"There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great."
