Ideal, stable, good support and it helps with the developer console
I have used MongoDB, MySQL, and Oracle. MongoDB is entirely different. It's a NoSQL platform database, so it's totally different. It is a little bit hard to work with. The way it is organized and structured is different. But between Microsoft Azure MySQL and Oracle, they are pretty similar. * Cost: Microsoft is not a preferred platform. Their licensing is very complex and expensive. Oracle is much better. * AI: In terms of data analytics and AI, Microsoft is better. Certain complex transformations are easier to do in MSSQL. So, if you have to analyze data from a lot of different data sources, it becomes much easier. However, the usage of the particular product depends on the project. Personally, I would like to work on MySQL. But in certain cases where the application scale is very large, and custom models from certain regions of the globe prefer Microsoft, then we have to go with MSSQL. But technically, there is not much difference.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The scalability of the database is absolutely guaranteed by the new features."
"It is very easy to start working with the product."
"The product is good for tuning."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service handles data easily."
"MySQL is a centralized RDBMS in itself, and you don't have the overkill of having the full Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server. It's ideal, and it helps with the developer console. It has three versions for developers. It's a very good tool for open source."
"The solution overall is very, very good. It's got good integration with other databases and adds new features often."
"All the features are excellent."
"The access to a suite of management and administration tools that simplify tasks such as database provisioning, configuration, and monitoring."
"We chose Greenplum because of the architecture in terms of clustering databases and being able to have, or at least utilize the resources that are sitting on a database."
"Scalable (Massive) Parallel Processing (MPP) – The ability to bring to bear large amounts of compute against large data sets with Greenplum and the EMC DCA has proven itself to be very effective."
"The most valuable feature is asynchronous calls, which are easy to configure."
"The solution has really cool features to use. Its management console is excellent. You can utilize plugins to view the performance of the whole service on one network."
"The product is not complex."
"After creating a RabbitMQ service, they provide you with a sort of web management dashboard."
"The stability of this solution was very good."
"Very sophisticated routing control and priority messaging capabilities"
 

Cons

"There might be minor improvements, however, I can’t identify any particular areas for improvement at the moment."
"The support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues."
"MySQL should have some kind of native query browser. If it could come with a built-in connector."
"It requires a significant amount of expertise and effort to manage, especially when dealing with substantial volumes of data."
"Integrating business intelligence or NLP solutions would help us save time and would prevent us from having to take a deep dive. Data problems seem to multiply on the system when you interact with it. Automation would save a lot of man-hours."
"The product has many bugs."
"In a production environment, upgrading from a lower to an upper version is a very long process that needs to be improved."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service should be easier to replicate and integrate into further solutions."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy."
"When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use."
"VMware Tanzu Greenplum needs improvement in the memory area and improved methods for quick access to the disc. So, one of the quick goals of Greenplum must work on enhancing access to the disc by adding hints in the database."
"The next release should include some of the flexibility and features that Kafka offers."
"The availability could be better."
"We needed to configure additional plugins. While it was relatively easy to do this on-premises, it became more challenging in the cloud."
"I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc."
