Product version discussed: 10.5
Provides speed, functionality, and replication is easier

Pros

"The speed and functionality are the most valuable features. "

Cons

"An improvement would be scaling it up to the levels of Oracle, especially when it comes to resilience, so that we can do higher transactions for two databases or power our operation."

Excels for well-defined tasks involving specific data sets, is user-friendly, and scalable

Open-source, easy to set up, and offers community support

Pros

"It's a very easy product to set up."

Cons

"The solution should do some fine-tuning on maybe the transaction per second so that users can get more than they can on the Microsoft SQL Server."

Is user-friendly, scalable, and light

Pros

"MariaDB is a user-friendly solution. Performance wise, it's better than SQL. With SQL, I would need to write a number of queries. In contrast, MariaDB is light."

Cons

"The dashboard and pricing need improvement."

Product version discussed: 10.6.7
Helpful support, open-source, and reliable

Pros

"The most valuable feature of MariaDB is that it is open-source and we can easily migrate from other databases, such as Oracle to MariaDB."

Cons

"MariaDB can improve by adding more features. There are a lot of features, which are available in Oracle, and which are not available in MariaDB. We hope they will introduce the features soon."
