Find out in this report how the two Open Source Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."For non-production purposes. I'm just using it for my personal project, so it works quite well. I haven't faced any errors yet."
"From the user's perspective, the performance of the columnar queries is very good in terms of the database when comparing it to the Oracle, and MySQL."
"MariaDB is a user-friendly solution. Performance wise, it's better than SQL. With SQL, I would need to write a number of queries. In contrast, MariaDB is light."
"The solution runs very quickly. It's not slow at all."
"I like the global transaction IDs (GTIDs) feature. It's quite reliable for replication between a master and a replica server, and it's a feature that MySQL also has but implemented differently."
"The solution has PL/SQL compatibility."
"The solution's high availability is its most valuable aspect."
"The solution is very easy to implement."
"We find the product mostly stable."
"In future releases, mainly the addition of security features would be beneficial for MariaDB."
"I would like to see more compatibility going forward. This would help if there is a need to change databases."
"One feedback I can quickly provide is the need for a robust IDE for MongoDB. The existing PHP admin console doesn't meet the client's requirements effectively."
"The price could be less expensive."
"We'd like more data intelligence."
"The product needs more features and more functionality. It's imperative that it supports more platforms, and supports more operating systems."
"Lacks time series data and additional driving support would be helpful."
"MariaDB could be improved by adding more automation."
"If Percona had flashback capabilities, it would be ideal."
