We performed a comparison between MySQL 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."Setup is easy. MySQL of various flavours has community editions to easily test, deploy, and run."
"The tool is open-source and there is no cost involved in its use."
"The speed is very good."
"The most valuable feature of MySQL is auto-scaling."
"The solution is very stable."
"I like MySQL because of its community."
"Table partitioning is most valuable. It is easy to use."
"I like the simplistic view of MySQL to build custom queries and things like that as compared to SQL Server, which seems more cluttered. SQL Server has a query analyzer. MySQL pretty much does the same, and performance-wise, it has less overhead for connecting to our ERP system. It seems more responsive and cleaner. With MySQL, you get what you need without any overbloating, for which Microsoft is known. That's why they have so many constant security patches for everything because there is so much stuff, which degrades performance."
"The solution overall is very, very good. It's got good integration with other databases and adds new features often."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is data migration."
"It is very easy to start working with the product."
"The product is easy to learn."
"The product is good for tuning."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to use and implement."
"The solution's performance is good."
"It's easy to use."
"MySQL lacks a feature akin to Oracle's Real Application Clusters, which ensures continuous database availability within the same data center or nearby data centers."
"The replication needs improvement. It's becoming a native cloud product like Oracle DB or Cockroach DB."
"MySQL needs improvements on its diagnostic features."
"When it comes to supporting big data, there is space to improve upon the database engines that are supported by MySQL."
"It requires a training platform."
"The availability of tools could be improved in the MySQL open-source platform. They can provide more analytical tools. I haven't had any particularly difficult issues to troubleshoot on MySQL, but in the past, on Microsoft SQL Server, I had to troubleshoot some difficult issues, and better tools were in place to see what was going on in real-time on the server. So, that's the bit that is lacking on the MySQL open-source platform."
"It should provide better customer experiences."
"When working with a cluster wide, I have to use the MySQL cluster version."
"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."
"Improvement could be made in the workflow, particularly when it comes to making changes or implementing certain functions."
"The technical support is in need of improvement."
"The support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues."
"They could include more advanced features like clustering and replication in the Oracle databases."
"The tool’s stability must be improved."
"The product has many bugs."
"There could be more courses where the people could learn more easily how to use the tool."
