Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, PostgreSQL, Firebird and others in Open Source Databases."MariaDB has a straightforward initial setup with easy-to-understand documentation."
"The most valuable feature is that it uses multiple cores, which is better than some of the other databases."
"I would say that for most use cases it works fine."
"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 runs very quickly. It's not slow at all."
"I haven't faced any technical issues with the product, and it works fine."
"This solution is user-friendly."
"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."
"We find the product mostly stable."
"Could have more integration with user platforms."
"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."
"MariaDB should provide HA and archive logging... I haven't had the opportunity to use the features provided by the solution since I don't know how to see them."
"Lacks time series data and additional driving support would be helpful."
"Document caching is an area of concern in the product, where improvements are required to help MariaDB improve on the previous queries as they are retained, and you can roll back to them."
"The PL/SQL performance is slow if you have big batch jobs running overnight."
"The difficult part related to the product stems not from the tool itself but is related to learning how to implement the product in the right way without creating any wrong configuration that could cause security issues or performance issues."
"The customer service and support are okay. But the response time is slow. Moreover, the material is not available freely."
"If Percona had flashback capabilities, it would be ideal."
