We performed a comparison between Firebird SQL 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."I appreciate the fact that, once the database is embedded, it doesn't need to be administered, and removes the requirement for a specific server."
"Firebird SQL is an open-source solution and can run on most operating systems, such as Linux, Unix, and Windows."
"I find the ease of deployment to be the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The product was easy to use."
"The documentation is very well written."
"I can deploy it on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows — it's very easy."
"The most valuable feature of Firebird SQL is the creation of databases."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is reliable, offers good performance, and is easy to use."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service handles data easily."
"The access to a suite of management and administration tools that simplify tasks such as database provisioning, configuration, and monitoring."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is data migration."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to use and implement."
"It's easy to use."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is flexible and is an open-source product."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The stability of the solution is very good. I wouldn't have used it for the past seven years if I was not satisfied."
"The main feature I expect is to be able to work with different databases at the same time because that's a wishlist item for me."
"The solution could improve by providing partitioning and encryption. It is not at the higher level of database solution but it could be with some upgrades."
"This solution isn't very user-friendly, or intuitive, which could be improved when it is developed."
"On large databases, we have some difficulties."
"Database sharing is a capability that Firebird SQL lacks."
"It would be nice to have a graphical user interface to handle the product."
"It is not easy to integrate the tool with Visual Studio."
"Technical support and performance could be better. We have some problems with this solution, but we don't know if the problem is with the database or the configuration. For example, sometimes, the users can't access the database."
"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."
"Integrating business intelligence or NLP solutions would help us save time and would prevent us from having to take a deep dive. Data problems seem to multiply on the system when you interact with it. Automation would save a lot of man-hours."
"The support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues."
"The solution should offer memory management."
"The tool’s stability must be improved."
"It requires a significant amount of expertise and effort to manage, especially when dealing with substantial volumes of data."
"Improvement could be made in the workflow, particularly when it comes to making changes or implementing certain functions."
