We performed a comparison between Exasol and MySQL based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We mainly chose Exasol for its performance reasons."
"The most valuable feature of Exasol is its speed."
"Its speed is great."
"We can quickly scale the solution as it works on an MPP system."
"The solution is hands-off; you set it up insert your data and it self tunes queries."
"The speed is very good compared to other databases, like SQL Server or Oracle."
"Performance is a top priority, and it excels in this aspect."
"It is easy to scale."
"The initial setup for the SQL database is not complex and it even integrates into the platform. You set up the recipe and then just follow the runbook, the build book. Then it works as long as you follow the procedures."
"Table partitioning is most valuable. It is easy to use."
"The solution helps us perform with our databases and extract data."
"The relations in the database, the dynamic workflow, and the ability to connect with all columns. It's useful for e-commerce."
"The way that MySQL has improved my organization is that it comes free and also works fine on the technical side."
"MySQL is open-source. There are a lot of open-source communities trying to come up with their own patches, and to come up with their own features, which help MySQL develop faster than traditional databases like Oracle, which is closed source."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It was easy to install."
"They don't talk very well to with other products when it comes to connectivity. Integration is lacking."
"Lacks a cloud-based platform."
"There are limited resources available to help me resolve the issue with Exasol."
"It's not cloud-native so many maintenance operations require downtime."
"It would be beneficial if the updates would occur more often."
"You have to install Exasol drivers, and it's not easy to find or implement a driver into different systems."
"They should improve the security features for MPP processing."
"The only area where we found it could improve was in custom role creation and security, and it was difficult to work with."
"Rather than going in-depth about the technical features, which a technical person can directly tell, I would say that MySQL should be able to adapt to the next framework. The 5G framework means an unstructured framework. So if MySQL becomes smoother and more adaptable, it'll be easier."
"MySQL doesn't have the auto-clustering and database clustering features that other competitors provide. They can include these features."
"When I run into issues, I really have to research how to fix them."
"We want high availability and replication features, which are currently missing in this solution. It would be great if they can provide an in-built replication feature, similar to Oracle RAC, in MySQL."
"When it comes to supporting big data, there is space to improve upon the database engines that are supported by MySQL."
"The solution could have better integration and security features."
"Sometimes, not because the version is not the latest version, there are some issues with it. Sometimes there's an issue with the server which creates issues with it."
"MySQL lacks a feature akin to Oracle's Real Application Clusters, which ensures continuous database availability within the same data center or nearby data centers."
