"A valuable feature is that we can use it for quite a few things, all the things you'd expect from a server—along the lines of Linux's Lightweight Directory."
"We find the product mostly stable."
"It should work across all fields like SQLite, as it is the basis of any application, even apps for phones and the like."
"MariaDB's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"I'd like to see improved materialized views, like the ability to save select queries. This feature is missing in MariaDB compared to other relational databases like Oracle and SQL Server."
