"MariaDB is a fast and flexible tool."
"From a customer perspective, MariaDB is a good choice for cluster configuration. It's also easy to operate and cheap."
"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."
"It is an absolutely stable solution."
"The solution runs very quickly. It's not slow at all."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is an open-source product and offers its users great online community support."
"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."
"SQLite’s most valuable feature is the ability to store granular-level backups of databases."
"The product is lightweight and highly scalable."

"I’m not sure if it can scale."
"It's not very stable. It needs improvement."
"The configuration could be improved. It should be easier."
"The scaling for database online transactions needs improvement."
"MariaDB doesn't handle long or complex SQL queries quite as well as Oracle Database."
"A potential drawback is that the database file stored within the application's local storage could be accessible to users."
"It could have a user-friendly GUI and better intelligence features."
"The performance could be better."
"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."
"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."
