We performed a comparison between MariaDB and Percona Server 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 documentation is quite straightforward."
"Installation is straightforward."
"The product has been stable and reliable."
"MariaDB performs well as the backend database for our cloud-based telephony solution."
"There is the need for a robust IDE for MongoDB. The existing PHP admin console doesn't meet the client's requirements effectively."
"The most valuable feature of MariaDB is the replication mode."
"From the user's perspective, the performance of the columnar queries is very good in terms of the database when comparing it to the Oracle, and MySQL."
"Easy to use and available in most environments."
"We find the product mostly stable."
"Lacks time series data and additional driving support would be helpful."
"The maintenance and performance could be a bit better."
"MariaDB should provide HA and archive logging... I haven't had the opportunity to use the features provided by the solution since I don't know how to see them."
"Replication could be better, and it's not so simple. It would be better if they had a replication server. It would make things a lot easier. You need to have that replication server, but not in the same server farm. Then there will be a bit of latency between both because you should have one in one city and another one in a different city. That kind of solution should be more baked into every single database today. Mirroring the database in a live environment where any record written on the production server replicates instantly across the fiber on the other server wasn't easy. Many people don't even bother with that, and they just run one server."
"The performance could be a bit better."
"Data continuity could be improved."
"The product needs more features and more functionality. It's imperative that it supports more platforms, and supports more operating systems."
"It's not very stable. It needs improvement."
"If Percona had flashback capabilities, it would be ideal."
