Great tool with help from developer
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can quickly run whatever reports I need.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface is plane and unattractive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to run reports of all sizes with this tool. Now we know how our users are using our tool and if they need our help.
MySQL provides great solutions for a variety of applications
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL allows us to mine through a large amount of data extremely quickly and can be learned by anyone with previous computer experience
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like the user interface to allow for better learning of writing SQL queries. It is difficult to teach new employees how to write queries without simply giving them the queries we frequently use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We store millions of samples, each with information associated with those samples. This allows us to search for groups of samples and identify where in our storage space those samples are located so that we can do further analysis on our desired samples.
Good SQL database tool
What do you like best about the product?
Database product has small footprint and doesn't take up much memory compared to other tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Product isn't natively scalable and requires the need of add-ons to get the full use out of the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
mySQL can be used as a substitute to any other SQL solutions you are currently using
Makes using data base easier
What do you like best about the product?
Intuitive - it makes storing data easy and I learned it very quickly
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing- I have no memorable frustrations
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
running online experiments
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it
An Intuitive and Robust RDBMS
What do you like best about the product?
I use the mysql community and personally, the mysql workbench is an intuitive tool and allows me to quickly get a job done. If you're just starting out on database, this is a must-learn skill.
What do you dislike about the product?
The workbench might contain some (non-critical) bugs which affects the display of the results. However, it should be noted that the advantages far exceeds its disadvantages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primarily using mysql for teaching and learning purposes.
Maturity matters
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is 22 years old this month, and that matters. A database technology is only as good as its least-reliable part, and there aren't many holes in MySQL.
Because of its popularity over the years, there are solutions to nearly everything in MySQL.
MySQL is a strong implementation of a simple idea, without the headache of bells and whistles; it's the straight-razor shave of databases.

MySQL is a strong implementation of a simple idea, without the headache of bells and whistles; it's the straight-razor shave of databases.
What do you dislike about the product?
MySQL performance falls off a cliff with long tables in a way that other technologies don't. If you want to use MySQL to handle an implementation at scale, it requires some creative massaging (e.g https://medium.com/@Pinterest_Engineering/sharding-pinterest-how-we-scaled-our-mysql-fleet-3f341e96ca6f).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MySQL handles reporting tables (produced via ETL jobs through Hive over Hadoop HDFS) with almost zero ongoing engineering effort. Coupled with the mature connections from almost any tech stack you can imagine, it's easy to implement MySQL to pre-compute larger queries based on larger data sources on a regular basis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is easy to implement MySQL, and easy to move for MySQL to other products. Don't overthink it!
MySQL Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like MySQL because:
1) It's free.
2) It is can be used in both Windows and Unix.
3) I like the MySQL community
4) It allows multiple users to access to a variety of databases.
5) It was easier to learn than other databases.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that it's losing the open source. I think since Oracle bought it, updates and upgrades are lacking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In higher education, I use it for pulling a data for surveys for accreditation, as well as, reporting. It has helped to pull all types of data in one spot and organize it relationally for reporting purposes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I use MySQL workbench or Toad to create my queries, stored procedures, data models..
SQL- Excellent for small businesses
What do you like best about the product?
It is light and easy to install. Its portable and flexible and the interface is pretty straightforward
What do you dislike about the product?
Scalability is a big issue for mySQL. It works great with small data sets, but for large data it is not that efficient. It has fewer reporting options built on top of it compared to other databases. Less sophisticated options for mirroring and data encryption.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am currently working on development of an open source DBMS(Hive). I am using mysql as metastore for Hive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are writing smaller software, software that is mainly web focused this may be the database for you.
But if If you need to write a lot of records, using multiple servers, then some NoSQL databases (like Aerospike, Cassandra, ...) might be a better suit, or you can use some heavy SQL databases like Oracle.

Great and light DBMS
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is a light and easy to install on most of the operating systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
MySQL configurations are tricky. This happens when configuring MySQL for production purposes. Allowing access to the remote server and giving privileges to the existing users is quite challenging.
Also, the performance tuning parameters, especially with big data, require deep knowledge of the configurations trade-offs.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Research projects and non-big data problems.
Easy and complete
What do you like best about the product?
It is really easy. You have a lot of tools to manage it: Toad, Mysql Workbench. It is robust.
What do you dislike about the product?
You cannot define unique index on nullable fields. And it goes on growing more and more, and it can be explosive if you have big tables
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Each problem that needs table can be sorted with mysql. But the size of tables should be less than 10 milions of records.
