We performed a comparison between MySQL and Oracle MySQL Cloud Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."A lot of the software components have been trialed and tested for often more than 10 years."
"When comparing MySQL to other solutions it is easier to use and boots up faster. Additionally, when you want to query a lot of data, MySQL is better in performance."
"We use it as a data store and from that perspective, we get everything we need."
"It is a very stable solution. I deployed the product six years ago, and it still works fine."
"For sure, the solution is very stable."
"The main advantage is the very large user base. This enables users to fix about any issue by answering any question."
"The initial setup was easy. I work in an agile way, which means coding and deploying quickly."
"MySQL is a light database. It's not very complex. It's easy to develop, easy to maintain, and easy to back up and restore."
"It is very easy to start working with the product."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution's performance is good."
"The solution overall is very, very good. It's got good integration with other databases and adds new features often."
"The access to a suite of management and administration tools that simplify tasks such as database provisioning, configuration, and monitoring."
"MySQL is a centralized RDBMS in itself, and you don't have the overkill of having the full Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server. It's ideal, and it helps with the developer console. It has three versions for developers. It's a very good tool for open source."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to use and implement."
"The scalability of the database is absolutely guaranteed by the new features."
"MySQL tutorials and guides could be improved. Often they are too complex for someone with no database experience to understand."
"The licensing of the solution is on the expensive side."
"It should have some code analytical functions. It can also have a monitoring tool."
"We want to continue using MySQL but it merged with Oracle and the scalage changed."
"Could use some additional JSON query support in the solution."
"The replication needs improvement. It's becoming a native cloud product like Oracle DB or Cockroach DB."
"I would like to see the automatic backup feature in the solution as well. Data is very important and we need to preserve it in a safe place. It would be good if MySQL can back up the data automatically."
"MySQL could be improved by adding more automation."
"The support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues."
"Sometimes MySQL does upgrades on the server. When we are still using the old server and when they integrate the upgrade, they don't carry along some of the old syntaxes. The versions don't sync."
"The product has many bugs."
"In a production environment, upgrading from a lower to an upper version is a very long process that needs to be improved."
"The user interface is not simple."
"The solution should offer memory management."
"Sometimes, we face syntax issues with the solution."
"MySQL should have some kind of native query browser. If it could come with a built-in connector."
