We performed a comparison between MariaDB and SQLite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, PostgreSQL, MariaDB and others in Open Source Databases."It is an absolutely stable solution."
"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 most valuable feature of MariaDB is the replication mode."
"The product has been stable and reliable."
"The documentation is quite straightforward."
"The solution's high availability is its most valuable aspect."
"A valuable feature is that we can use it for quite a few things, all the things you'd expect from a server—along the lines of Linux's Lightweight Directory."
"What I like best about MariaDB is that it is open-source and reliable."
"I haven't encountered any problems in my use cases. So, it has been a stable product for me."
"SQLite’s most valuable feature is the ability to store granular-level backups of databases."
"Sometimes, you want data to persist within the app even when there's no internet connectivity. To avoid showing blank screens, we can use SQLite to store data locally and then sync it with the cloud database when connectivity is restored."
"I use Flutter Technology with the JSF plugin."
"The product is lightweight and highly scalable."
"The solution is not scalable."
"It's not very stable. It needs improvement."
"The customer service and support are okay. But the response time is slow. Moreover, the material is not available freely."
"Data continuity could be improved."
"The solution should do some fine-tuning on maybe the transaction per second so that users can get more than they can on the Microsoft SQL Server."
"The price could be less expensive."
"The maintenance and performance could be a bit better."
"In future releases, mainly the addition of security features would be beneficial for MariaDB."
"There are some difficulties on the server side. When syncing data with databases like SQL Server or Oracle, SQLite requires a kind of double effort."
"The performance could be better."
"A potential drawback is that the database file stored within the application's local storage could be accessible to users."
"I primarily use SQLite for small-scale applications due to its limitations in storing large amounts of data. For larger-scale projects, I typically opt for MySQL or other alternatives. Storing a large number of dates in SQLite can significantly impact its performance."
"It could have a user-friendly GUI and better intelligence features."
