MariaDB - quick & easy
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing I liked about MariaDB is that it was very easy to learn and use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn’t like the usability in the sense that I expected more that I could do with the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Student-Teacher database relations.
Excellent database for working with MySQL
What do you like best about the product?
I really like its interface, it is very user-friendly and from phpMyAdmin it allows you to do everything necessary to manage everything related to storage.
What do you dislike about the product?
That by placing the different database servers, we can group them, making it easier to see.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Everything related to the storage and management of data for small web portals is very simple, including the use, export, and so on. For a less experienced user, it is also easy to perform queries and access raw data in a user-friendly way. This application is highly recommended. Good.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is the best option for MySQL.
Excellent option as open source database
What do you like best about the product?
As a MySQL fork, MariaDB covers all the needs for a SQL database, without the Oracle shadow...
What do you dislike about the product?
Since it's entirely open source and supported by the community, you sometimes need to dig to find answers to your questions...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Good relational DB, comes bundled with some Linux flavors, fully compatible
Good experience using MariaDB. Fast & stable.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the facility of use of mariaDB, it's really fast, optimized and works very well into the SQL relational environment. It's a good way to start also in the SQL world.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's only limited to relational SQL, it could be fine to expand this options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I worked with maria DB in information systems, it conforms a great database structure and really stable to work with frameworks like django or spring.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a great way to start with databases. Use is very simple, sometimes hard todo queries but it's an interesting start in SQL world.
MariaDB > MySQL
What do you like best about the product?
You have everything that you need in order to have a very well performance
What do you dislike about the product?
Quite a bit of the time, they forward you to MySQL's doc's, and their doc's are terrible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Useful for small projects or as a small development database, light and very practical
More or less the same MySQL one has come to depend on
What do you like best about the product?
Relatively easy to configure, good advice out there for tuning, etc. since the product is so widely used, and it's free if you don't need support, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could come slightly better tuned out of the box; setting up a new system that is properly functional is a bit daunting
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It works for various software products that require a database; we use it for several different other pieces of software. It is certainly far cheaper than Oracle, which frankly is overkill for many projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the extensive knowledge out there about MySQL, and consider mysqltuner.pl for tips on tuning.
Replacement of MySQL with more functionalities and better performance
What do you like best about the product?
New storage engines, speed improvements especially in complex queries. New system tables (INFORMATION_SCHEMA) are added to store statistics that can help us optimize the databases. The system for handling connections has been improved, as it implements the pool-of-threads system from MySQL 6.0, which allows us to have more than 200,000 connections to MariaDB. In general, many modifications have been made to improve performance, speed, and even implement new features.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only disadvantage is having to uninstall MySQL and install MariaDB, but the migration is very simple.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MariaDB is under the GPL license, which is less restrictive and completely free.

It is an alternative to MySQL, less robust but functional.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has lower compatibility and works somewhat worse than MySQL.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Small applications based on database queries
A simple upgrade from MySQL
What do you like best about the product?
Transparent and simple, allows us to seemlessly move on from MySQL and not look back.
What do you dislike about the product?
Additional learning curve involved in the install and having to be aware of the minor niggles and bugs which are all documented
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We reached end of life with MySQL and upgraded our server to the latest version of CentOS. MariaDB stepped in and took over allowing us to use our old systems transparently.
