We performed a comparison between Firebird SQL and Oracle MySQL Cloud Service 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."I appreciate the fact that, once the database is embedded, it doesn't need to be administered, and removes the requirement for a specific server."
"I can deploy it on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows — it's very easy."
"The solution is very useful for stock management."
"Robustness is the absolutely main feature."
"I like that we don't have to pay external fees to migrate this data. So, we are looking to relocate from Postgres or EDB."
"I find the ease of deployment to be the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The most valuable feature of Firebird SQL is the creation of databases."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is reliable, offers good performance, and is easy to use."
"The product is easy to learn."
"The solution's performance is good."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to use and implement."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is flexible and is an open-source product."
"It's easy to use."
"The solution overall is very, very good. It's got good integration with other databases and adds new features often."
"The stability of the solution is very good. I wouldn't have used it for the past seven years if I was not satisfied."
"The most valuable feature is the data aggregation function."
"It would be nice to have a graphical user interface to handle the product."
"The solution could improve by providing partitioning and encryption. It is not at the higher level of database solution but it could be with some upgrades."
"Database sharing is a capability that Firebird SQL lacks."
"The main feature I expect is to be able to work with different databases at the same time because that's a wishlist item for me."
"It is not easy to integrate the tool with Visual Studio."
"In the next release, it should support JSON, XML, and replication with third-party tools."
"This solution isn't very user-friendly, or intuitive, which could be improved when it is developed."
"On large databases, we have some difficulties."
"The user interface is not simple."
"Sometimes, we face syntax issues with the solution."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service's scalability is an area of concern that can be better."
"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."
"Sometimes MySQL does upgrades on the server. When we are still using the old server and when they integrate the upgrade, they don't carry along some of the old syntaxes. The versions don't sync."
"MySQL should have some kind of native query browser. If it could come with a built-in connector."
"The tool’s stability must be improved."
"There could be more courses where the people could learn more easily how to use the tool."
