MySQL Reviews

We primarily use the product for small applications.

The solution is great for small applications in particular.

The performance is good.

The solution originally was designed as an open-source product. It has a community edition that anyone can use for free.

The initial setup is simple and straightforward. 

I have doubts about its overall stability. It's something that they should look at.

As an open-source product, there isn't really any technical support available if you get into trouble or have issues.

There isn't much scalability potential in the product.

I've been using the solution for a very long time. It's been years at this point.

The stability could be better. It's not as stable as I would prefer it to be. 

It was originally designed as freeware, as an open-source project, and the community wrote the solution. However, they've made it worse over time.

That said, the performance is pretty good.

The solution is not that scalable. It's not something you should pick if you need something to expand significantly.

While I can't speak to how many people use the solution in our company, I can say that it is used by several departments and divisions.

The solution is open-source and managed by a community. Therefore, there is no technical support available to users. 

The initial setup is very easy and quite straightforward. It's not overly difficult or complex. 

That said, I was not a part of the original setup and therefore cannot speak to how long the deployment took my team.

We didn't need any assistance from integrators or consultants. The setup was handled in-house.

The solution is open-source and free to use. We have the community edition. We don't have to pay to use it right now.

Right now, Oracle has taken over the business of MySQL. Now, it's standard that you have to pay money for the license. That's why we are shifting all our databases, the small, small databases, from MySQL to Oracle. We do have extra data, so we do require a license.

Currently, we are using the previous version of the solution. I can't speak to the exact version number, however.

I'd rate the solution at a five out of ten.

I wouldn't recommend it to other organizations at this time.

In our company, we are providing an application in PHP language and we need to use another database and we made the decision to use MySQL.

When comparing MySQL to other solutions it is easier to use and boots up faster. Additionally, when you want to query a lot of data, MySQL is better in performance.

The solution could improve the monitoring. At the present time, you need to use third-party monitoring solutions.

I have been using this solution for approximately one year.

When it comes to stability SQL server is better than MySQL. This is an area they could improve.

We have approximately five users using this solution in my organization.

I have previously used SQL Server.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate MySQL an eight out of ten.

We are using this solution for database management.

One of the best features is this solution is easy to use.

The solution could improve by having better performance and security.

I have been using this solution for approximately five years.

The solution is relatively stable.

For what we have been using the solution for it is scalable. However, it could be more scalable.

We have a lot of customers using this solution with more projects coming up. We have overall approximately 500 users using this solution.

The technical support is very good and responsive.

The installation is straightforward. It can easily be installed onto a laptop or any computer.

I did the implementation myself.

There is not a license required for this solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate MySQL an eight out of ten.

We use this solution for billing, accounting, and data analysis.

The most valuable feature is the ease of use.

The manuals or documentation could be better.

I have been using MySQL for ten years.

We are using version 8.

We do not have any issues with the stability of MySQL.

For our needs, it's sufficient.

We have 10 users in our organization.

It has more than enough support available for our needs. There is plenty of support from the community.

We rely on the forums and other channels for help. It's pretty good at the moment.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The installation can take approximately an hour.

You need to be aware of databases to make use of it. You need a moderate level of competence.

We use the community edition.

There is no cost involved, no licensing fees.

We did not evaluate other products.

It's a good product for new startups.

I would rate MySQL a seven out of ten.

I have used the solution for a database tied to application development.

There are some issues with compatibility with Java environments that need to be improved. When Oracle bought this solution there were some driver changes that caused some issues with operations.

I have been using the solution for approximately eight years.

There are approximately 300 users using the solution in my organization. 

The solution is a small application and is very easy to deploy.

There is a license for this solution. A lot of the time the solution gets bundled with other hardware or software purchases.

I have plans to continue using the solution in the future.

I rate MySQL a seven out of ten.

We store mostly the metadata-related information and that's our primary use case for MySQL, storing a transactional database. 

This is a good traditional database, it supports JSON and it is whatever you need for a simple solution. It fits well, is easy to use and provides good service.

I'd like to see some additional JSON query support in the solution. 

The stability is fine. 

The scalability of the solution is fine although we haven't tested it too much. 

There is no need to contact technical support. 

The initial setup is very easy, it's not a big installation and there's no effort required with maintenance-related issues because it's a whole product and is more stabilized. So I don't recall any issues and getting issues on the database side.

I would recommend this product if it suits your needs. 

I rate this solution an eight out of 10.

It is the database for a web application. I am using it for personal and official purposes.

It is easy to use.

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.

I have been using this solution for a couple of years.

It is stable.

It is not scalable. We have around 10 to 15 web developers who are currently using it.

I have not interacted with them.

Its installation is not very complex. It takes two hours.

I installed it on my own. We have four or five people for deployment and maintenance.

For the on-premise version, no license is required.

We plan to keep using this solution. I would rate MySQL a seven out of ten.

It is deployed on local servers, and we are using version 8. The whole company uses our database. Our users don't communicate with the database directly. They use a web interface. All programs are deployed using MySQL. We have hundreds of thousands of users accessing MySQL via the website. Two of us manage the database, but it's enough for only one person to manage daily operations. 

As we are using the latest version of the database, it has many functions that have improved it. There are many new features in this version, and it is more powerful in what it can achieve.

MySQL has a lot of documentation, and bug fixing is better in the latest version.

We have been using MySQL for about 20 years.

It is very stable.

MySQL is scalable. We didn't scale it via the database tools provided but on the program side. However, it is easy to scale it using the functions provided with the product.

The support is fast and helps to find faster fixes to existing bugs. They recently advised us to downgrade to fix one particular bug, which resolved the problem we were having.We only use technical support for bug fixes, and the calls are usually closed quickly.

I was able to install it myself in about half an hour.

MySQL is free.

We have also used PhpStorm and DataGrip.

I would recommend that others use MySQL. I would rate it 10 out of 10.
