Review of MySQL
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is very easy to learn, especially for a beginner.
What do you dislike about the product?
I believe that MySQL is difficult to scale for large database.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my view, MySQL is very suitable for a small website or for a blog.
Great database for any web based development!!!
What do you like best about the product?
I have been a web developer for years now and using MySQL has been a breeze. I originally used Microsoft SQL Server but I love how easy it is to setup a MySQL database. Also, it comes bundled with Wordpress which means that I have a strong database structure right out of the gate. Every command I have thrown against it works great and the support and community are always available to help.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really don't have anything I dislike about MySQL. In my usage (web development and open source development) everything I have thrown at it works without an issue.
The caveat to this is the configuration file can be difficult to setup. If you don't know what you are doing you can corrupt your whole database. The best practice to resolve this is to always make a copy of that file and then change the copy.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since I use Wordpress mainly I use MySQL every day. I have been able to run some very complex queries when needed at it. Also, Wordpress integrates and builds the database for you. Another nice feature is being able to customize and extend the database to fit your specific needs
I have also used MySQL with custom built web applications and it handles that without a problem.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are building web-based applications in PHP, Python, or JAVA and you need to get started quick MySQL is the way to go.
My experience with MySQL
What do you like best about the product?
I have never used a different database program, this is my first and I'm still learning.
I love how simple MySQL statements can be - select, use, etc.
You can start very basic and get more in depth, and it's not *simple* to learn but it's intuitive enough.
I like the organization and all the reports you can run/all the information you can view about tables.

What do you dislike about the product?
I did not like getting started. When I first started with MySQL it was one of the first times I had ever touched Terminal, and I had no idea what I was doing. When I was asked to type into terminal the /path/to/mysql, I actually typed in /path/to/mysql
Other than that, there's not a whole lot that I actually dislike!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're hosting customer databases in MySQL, and making sure all their tables are clean, repaired, and optimized.
We had issues with MySQL 5.6 sometimes stopping on I believe Yosemite, and other issues with PID file as well as with 5.7, but now that I'm aware of these issues it has become a lot easier to direct customers towards a solution.
We host everything on MySQL so having only one platform to work with is great.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I really can't say a whole lot, but if I could familiarize myself with MySQL, I'm sure many others could as well.
Learning MySQL syntax can be done!
What do you like best about the product?
If you are diligent even a non-developer can learn MySQL syntax for queries.
What do you dislike about the product?
No issues to report does what is required when you have some of the basic syntax.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Moving from data silos to point solutions.
MySQL review
What do you like best about the product?
It is a very old product so it has lots of documentation and examples to show how to do what you want. Even if it is a fairly odd use case. It is a time proven product that is still very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some features that could be improved on that other databases have. MySQL could use to look at the features of newer databases and implement them. It would really help to make MySQL even more desirable and easier to use in specific situations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
storing data. The benefits of using mySQL are many and are better found by doing a simple google search of it than reading them here.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely look at different databases to find the one that works best for the situation you are trying to solve. There are different versions of databases that are almost the same as MySQL but with different features that could help in different use cases. MySQL is a great solution for many problems though, and is probably the most used database out there so far.
MySQL is easy to use and learn
What do you like best about the product?
For a relational database MySQL is fairly easy to learn, especially for someone with coding skills. The internet is full of examples of code and syntax. Easy to install and use, with a low learning curve.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only relational. Can be a pain to transfer to another database.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organized relational data.
Great product

What do you dislike about the product?
Query can be slow on big tables, or with a lot of joins.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using MySQL in one of our internal web platform, and it fits our requirements perfectly. By using a free, open-source database suite such as MySQL, we saved the cost of license to use a proprietary one like Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
MySQL is the correct choice for a free, open-source database suite for use with web sites, business applications and more. If you are looking for a free, feature-rich & high-performance database suite, try MySQL.

Medium level software development team member perspective
What do you like best about the product?
Because one of the most popular DB in the market and the support to this DB is a lot more than any other DB. We also integrate to cloud with different languages support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Actually, everything was fine except, not worked well with huge amount of data. We needed to optimize in case we receive a lot more data we have planned.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Health information related problem that we have been working on. Unfortunately, I can not give more info about the project because of terms. But I can say that mysql did good job in the system circle.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to build up something that easy to use and easy to development, mysql is the right choice. Also, if your team is consist of a few developers, mysql can satisfy with development process and and straight forward build up time. Postgrsql and Oracle can be other alternatives but the investment to this product can save your life and money in long term scheduling.
