For me, Mysql is a no-brainer for its users.

  • December 13, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Of course , its popularity amongst fellow software engineers which makes it easy to find solutions to any problem encountered with it. Asides this, It is easy to setup . Infact I experienced no problems with it as a first time user, coming from a background of previously working with SQL models .
Perhaps most importantly for me, Mysql integrates with most programming languages and its cross platform support, ensures I can use it with Linux, Unix or Windows operating systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment. Mysql does not cater for SQL constraints, lacks a reliable native debugging tool, and it is not suited for data analytics purposes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Mysql to simply store user data. When it comes to selecting a database for web and mobile Applications in my company, Mysql is the first option.
On the business side, Mysql helps my company save financially since we can setup multiple database models without incurring licensing fees for each , which is usually the situation with commercial Mysql alternatives.

I find Mysql reliable for my DBMS needs.

  • November 04, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I find Mysql to be secured and very importantly, it is a very scalable dbms. Asides this , Mysql is open source and is perhaps the most used dbms globally, thereby translating to a large user community and easy access to free help resources created by hundreds of Mysql community users around the globe.
What do you dislike about the product?
The intuitiveness of the user interface of the Workbench version of Mysql need a lot of improvement. The lack of support for SQL check restrictions is yet another aspect of Mysql, I have got reservations about.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mysql is my dbms of choice , regardless of the size of the project I am undertaking.
Amongst the many benefit I have derived from Mysql is how easily and quickly, I can set it up in a Windows, Linux or Unix environment without complications.

Routine User of MySql

  • October 12, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I would like to say that MySql is one of the best database service providers which is open-source.
I have integrated MySql with PHP, C#, VB, and java as well.
Its operational ability of indexing and retrieving data is as good as MS SQL.
What do you dislike about the product?
I prefer to use MySql with a small size application because as it can be difficult to handle a structured database with a big enterprise application.
MySQL doesn't have a good developing and debugging tool compared to other databases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used MySql for storing data of my application like web apps, e-commerce apps etc.

MySQL is the best tool for database management.
We can manage/handle structured database in it.
Can create and store procedures, triggers fo DB actions.

As per my perspective the UI of MySQL is not that good/user-friendly or not improved as per technology improved this days.
Compair to other db tools they provide more wide options and good UI.

I used MySql for manage databases.
I used to store data of ecommerce Web apps and CMS web apps.

Free of cost comprehensive Database solution

  • October 06, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best part is zero cost of implementation without compromising on critical features a database solution should have
What do you dislike about the product?
Performance is not comparable to modern database solutions and methods that pertain to much larger datasets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have organized Data collection, management and reporting through multiple users from a single point.
We use it for hosting larger datasets that spreadsheet solutions cannot handle.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Any database solution must be in the simplest form to be used by a large employee/user base, and MySQL provides that.

We can check the data, table by application. And this will help to develop applications. It provides a lot of features to create, delete and modify data by UI and SQL query.

If you have a large dataset and you want to import that database then sometimes it will stop responding.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If you are developing software and you want to debug your code then it is the best software that will make it easier.

My sql - A Relational database

  • September 11, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best part of MySQL is the ease of use and setup. It doesn't consume much space as compared to other databases like SQL server and being lightweight it is much easy to set up and connect your application with it. Yet it can handle pretty heavy transactions. Its one of the choice when comes to databases for a spring boot project. Moreover, it is available on both LINUX and WINDOWS platforms. It comes with its features which include access, authentication, backups, extended running support for languages like Perl, Tcl, Huskey. Its client i.e. Mysql Workbench is also lightweight and has a nice responsive UI with lots of operational features.
What do you dislike about the product?
When it comes to data-intensive transactions and analytics it lags. For such operations, one has to move to mongo or SQL server-like databases. Another negative aspect is it blocks database operations while taking backups. In terms of data security and authentications, it lacks what other paid RDBMS offer. It also lacks debugging capabilities which now most of the paid databases come with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use MySQL databases in most of the microservice-based applications in our organization. It's easy to implement especially when it comes to the java spring boot project. And above all, it's free to use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are planning to build small or medium size applications/microservices then it's a good choice to choose Mysql as a backend database. It's easy to maintain, query, and gives output pretty quickly.
