We performed a comparison between MySQL and Oracle Multitenant 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."I am totally satisfied with MySQL."
"The solution is very simple. It's easy to use. That's the most important feature."
"The connectivity with PHP is quite good."
"The replication feature is the most valuable. We are replicating our servers."
"I like MySQL because of its community."
"MySQL's clustering features are very strong, and you can automate scripting, so that helps. We wrote a Terraform script and ran it."
"The initial setup was easy. I work in an agile way, which means coding and deploying quickly."
"While MySQL offers strong basic functionality."
"You can scale the solution as needed."
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."
"The database becomes pluggable. Inside this container is called a pluggable database and each application contains this pluggable database inside Multitenant. We can then share resources like control files, memory, etc. This lets you stop and start each application without impacting the others. This resource sharing is the most valuable feature"
"The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."
"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."
"It's easy to use and works great."
"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."
"I did the implementation of the solution myself and I used community support. The support from the vendor costs money."
"The manuals or documentation could be better."
"I find the Microsoft solution a bit better. But mostly in terms of the UI layout, I would say. I just find it a little bit more efficient."
"When working with a cluster wide, I have to use the MySQL cluster version."
"The full-text search feature must be improved."
"There are some issues with compatibility with Java environments that need to be improved. When Oracle bought this solution there were some driver changes that caused some issues with operations."
"We require more ease of use, scalability, and high availability. These are some of the critical features that we use and look for in a product. It should be easier to manage clusters. Scalability is very important for us because our projects and concurrency requirements are quite big. We also require high availability of the server, application, and other things. It should also have more performance-based features or enhancements from the performance point of view. When we divide a database, it should be able to handle the queries very fast."
"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."
"That said, Oracle in general doesn't invest in their UI for any of their applications. If we're talking about the dashboard or other user experience, there is room for improvement. I'm talking about on premises. The cloud version has started to improve."
"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"The user interface for this solution can be made better."
"Technical support could be faster."
"It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it."
"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."
