MySQL Reviews

Pros

MySQL consistently delivers exceptional performance, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, from small-scale projects to large enterprise systems. Its optimized query execution, indexing mechanisms, and caching strategies contribute to efficient data retrieval and manipulation.

Cons

Fine-tuning settings for optimal performance can require in-depth knowledge, and improper configurations may impact system stability.

Pros

MySQL is an extremely sophisticated and adaptable open-source relational database management system. It is simple to set up and operate, and it is extremely flexible, allowing customers to personalize the system to their individual requirements. MySQL is an excellent solution for businesses of all sizes due to its extensive range of features and capabilities.

Cons

It can be troublesome to import big MySQL databases from one host to another. Remember that there may be website issues, process breakdowns during uploading or importing that require you to restart, or the import that does not fully transfer everything. I've figured out a way around this multiple times with only a massive dump. Other than that, it has gotten better with time, and as of the most recent version, I have to say that it is performing flawlessly.

Pros

ease of use, user friendly, good interface

Cons

not updated with latest requirements of my field

Pros

Databases management in one place is what I like most about MySQL.

Cons

It was quite daunting to deploy MySQL, but we acquired third-party system integrators.

Pros

I like MySQL because it is open source , easy to use it can handle large amount of data it is secure and reliable.

Cons

Although it is a great rDBMS but it is not very very secure and also the scalability is not very good like it's competitors.

Pros

The thing which I liked most about MySQL is that MySQL databases are relational and the data is stored in different tables instead of storing all at one place. It is an open source software and fast, reliable, secure and easy to use. It can handle large database easily and the performance is great.

Cons

The cost and pricing plan to use MySQL is very high. It has 3 different plans starting from $2140 per year which I think is expensive.

Pros

You can easily manage your data with MySQL, its data filter featuer is really helpful, integrating MySQL with other software is really simple, the permissions system is really useful and works well.

Cons

Learning all the commands can be very tricky, but once you've done that, you won't have any issues managing your database.

Pros

Coming from a country where life is at its hardest I have to spend less and get the most out of the little, MySQL has made this possible because it is free.
The other thing I love about MySQL is its simplicity, installing and setting it up is just so easy.

Cons

When large applications, backing up of all the data is necessary at all given time because there might be instances of data loss.

Pros

I've been a MySQL user for over 20 years. It is one of the best and most stable options on the market.

Cons

Maybe it needs a new look, for modern times.

Pros

Its database replication is efficiently managed, allowing the creation of database copies for performance reasons thanks to redundancy.

Cons

Port conflicts require a plethora of configurations

Alternatives Considered

Pros

MySQL is very user friendly and the queries used are easy and well suited for beginner and small scale applications

Cons

I am not a fan of the UI of MySQL as it’s pretty basic

Pros

I have been using it for a year, and I like its compatibility with various applications and its secure, reliable software for storing requested information. The best part is that it is scalable to use in small personal projects and can be scaled up for use in large organizations.

Cons

What I liked the least is that it can get confusing in many tools and can be challenging for new users who start using this software; it can be complicated.

Pros

A light program on the computer.
It features a beautiful control interface that makes it easy to use in creating databases, tables, relationships between them, or other services.
It is characterized by taking a backup copy and restoring it smoothly.

Cons

When I am writing queries I found that some are different from the other and I have to search on the Internet to make them work.
Sometimes the large amount of data slows down the insertion, updating and selection process.

Pros

It's a reliable database system that can scale well, both vertically and horizontally, allowing business to grow their application without major disruptions. Has a large and active user community where you can find a wealth of resources and third-party tools to help. The fact that is open-source is a big factor.

Cons

Complex configuration and lack of some advance features and functionality, especially in areas like analytics and reporting. Enterprise-level support can be costly.

Pros

We have being using MySQL for a number of years now and are very happy wih it. We found the training courses extremely useful and the support options are very helpful also

Cons

We have had nothing but positive experiences to date with MySQL

Pros

MySQL was initially an open source RDBMS till it was acquired by Oracle corporation. MySQL was integrated with a very versatile web interface PHPMyAdmin which provided a full-fledged database client that allows administrators to manage the creation of database entities including tables, views, stored procedures, triggers, users, .... MySQL supports the various SQL 92 constructs including DDL, DML, and DCL SQL statements. It is not supported with advanced Undo/Redo Logging algorithms as in the case of Oracle database, but still can support advanced SQL queries with decent optimization mechanisms.

Cons

PHPMyAdmin suffered from performance lagging and bottlenecks specifically when inserting database rows. The lagging is mainly from the Web GUI since the actual SQL insertion mechanism is effectuated in the database but not refreshed in the PHPMyAdmin GUI. The latest database engine supported by PHPMyAdmin is MariaDB which suffered the same performance lagging issue. Customer support wasn't successful in figuring out the source of this bug. This is mainly experienced on Windows installations. MySQL is not open source anymore which makes MariaDB (the open source alternative) a much cost efficient choice.

Pros

It's a relational database management system and easy to work with structured data.
Support a secure protection for sensitive data such as passwords.
Last but not least, it's a free and open-source software.

Cons

Lack of ability to handle large databases.
When it comes to development and debugging tools, MySQL can't provide as much as paid databases does.

Pros

MySQL is amazing to use for accessing and retrieving data! It is very secure and trustworthy.

Cons

The quality of support can be improved with MySQL

Pros

It’s Easy to Use and Administer,It’s Scalable and Flexible , Secure and Reliable

Cons

there are no inconveniences I am very satisfied

Pros

We had lots of data and used MySQL to write queries and get results. This helped get really structured and useful data very quickly.

Cons

Error debugging can be tricky and learning all the commands.

Pros

Managing large data sets in MySQL is its most impactful feature. MySQL is easy to use. Integration with other software is also very easy.

Cons

The user interface is little old. Sometimes I face lagging while working. Integration with other software is easy.

Pros

I like the UI and its easy to use we can store huge data in forms of rows and columns also we can create multiple databases.

Cons

You should be knowing the SQL language as every operation needs a query to run and one mistake can cause error in whole table.

Pros

Been using it for years, it just keeps on working.

Cons

User management is a bit of a pain, I can't help thinking it should be easier

Pros

Really very helpful and eazy to use and integration with most of programs i recomend all to learn and use mysql

Cons

Really nice and support tools and faster with command and easly to use thank oracle for that

Pros

Mysql is the most efficient and user-friendly database management system. Additionally, it is the most popular DBMS. I need to use the host and port number to connect to the database, and I can rapidly construct simple queries for data retrieval and insertion. Additionally, because read queries appear to be written in ordinary English, they are considerably simpler to interpret.

Cons

My knowledge indicates that MySQL is not the best choice for handling intricate or large volumes of data.MySQL is not the best choice for applications that must manage data in real-time.
