MySQL Reviews

I started an Azure account and this is when I tried testing different databases, non-relational databases, and relational databases, using this solution.

The solution is easy to use.

There should be more tools to manage the on-premises version and more automation features.

The solution is able to be scaled but it depends on your Microsoft configuration. I would recommend this solution for small businesses.

The installation was fast, it took approximately five minutes.

I did the deployment of the solution myself.

There is a license needed for this solution.

I rate MySQL an eight out of ten.

Public Cloud

Microsoft Azure

I used it to obtain insight into the entire network and the resources being utilized. The current GUI lets us see the traffic happening east to west and the total bandwidth consumed by it.

• It provides visibility, where something was either broken or in pieces only.
• It creates a unified view of the entire architecture and performance factor, helping to manage the network more easily.
• It has a remote access feature to manage the database from a remote location. This enables in-work collaboration.

I have found the following features valuable:

• NetFlow of the whole system
• Information flow and scaling
• Communication between multiple collaborators and stakeholders
• Its user-friendly features.

The only service which could be improved is its usability. The entire user experience needs to be revamped to meet the 2018 design standards.

Less than one year.

The overall service is great. 

MySQL database is the database on which we run JD Edwards. You could run it on Unix or you could run it on Oracle or something else. Our choice was to run it on MySQL because of the availability of resources in our area. There are more MySQL database resources available around Houston than there would be those that are familiar with, say, Oracle Database.

The availability of resources for MySQL has been the biggest benefit for our organization.

I'd like to see Oracle provide more certification for it.

We've had no issues with deployment.

It's pretty rock solid and we've had no issues with instability.

We're able to scale without issues.

I cannot tell you when the last time was that I had to call about support for MySQL. It's really rock solid.

Choose your database based upon your ability to be able to hire people and support the product, like supporting JD Edwards with a MySQL database. Not everyone can work one database with JD Edwards as well as they can another one. So just make sure you've got the compatibility and skill-set.

MySQL has established itself not only as the most popular open-source database, but the most reliable one as well. In my more than six years as system administrator managing various websites and web servers, MySQL has been our server of choice for web applications. It wouldn't be acquired by Oracle if it did not see it that way too.What I like most about MySQL is that it's relatively easy to install, fast, lightweight and reliable. It's available for both Windows and Linux, making it a very good alternative to other open source databases back then, which only runs on Linux. PostgreSQL for example did not have a Windows installer before. This made it very difficult to adopt it for mixed-OS environments and that is why we use MySQL.

Back in the days, our only gripe about MySQL was that it was a purely command-line based system. We don't really see it as disadvantage though, as it allowed it to be fast and very reliable. This has been addressed through the years with graphical management systems for MySQL. MySQL is a highly recommended product. I give it five stars as it really gets the job done without much of a hassle. Being available for the many platforms also makes it a very compelling choice for mixed-OS environments, as data migration can just be as easy as backing-up and restoring on another server even on different operating systems.

Just be ready though to work at the command line should you wish to use MySQL in its free form. It may not be the most intuitive user interfaces available, but it also makes MySQL a simple yet very reliable database for most people's needs.

We use MySQL primarily for internal application systems that we developed.

We use the basic features of MySQL. The interface that allows us to see the parameters of the server is good.

I have been using MySQL for approximately six years.

The stability is fantastic, it has been 100%.

We did not plan to increase the usage of this solution at this time.

We have not needed to contact technical support.

The implementation was simple and took approximately one day.

I did the implementation of the solution myself and I used community support. The support from the vendor costs money.

We are using the free community version of the solution.

I rate MySQL a nine out of ten.

Hybrid Cloud

We use MySQL to store data for our customers, in the database. It is a service-related application. Also to configure the data.

The fact that it is free is what appeals to me the most.

Scalability could be improved.

We use MySQL, which is a component of Oracle but operates as a separate database.

We have been using MySQL for more than ten years.

We are not using the most recent version, but rather one that has been tested with our applications.

We don't always use the latest version.

MySQL is a stable product.

It is very scalable. There are third-party solutions to assist with scaling but that may cost money, or it is available in the Commercial edition of MySQL.

We are primarily interested in Red Hat technology. As a result, we have primarily worked with Red Hat products.

This virtualization is built into Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure.

We use both Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure.

The installation is straightforward.

We are using the free community edition of MySQL.

Definitely, I would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate MySQL a seven out of ten.

On-premises

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.

Public Cloud

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

It is free and bundled with cPanel.

Cost effective.

Not at the moment in my current work environment.

Two years, began when I started at my current workplace.

So far, so good due to limited clients at the moment.

So far, so good due to limited clients at the moment.

There is no technical support since it is a CE.

No.

Straightforward.

It's free.

No, because this is bundled with cPanel.

It's good and affordable.
