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."I used Faiss as a basic database."
"The product has better performance and stability compared to one of its competitors."
"MySQL is easy to integrate. It works with just about every language."
"The most valuable feature of MySQL is the informative error outputs of command line interface."
"The solution is free to use, which is its most valuable aspect."
"It is free, which is probably its most valuable feature. It is a pretty full-featured relational database. It really does everything we need it to do."
"MySQL's most significant attribute is its capability to create, modify, and maintain databases. This is crucial and advantageous in procedures, such as SOAR. Therefore, all SQL functions are beneficial to any backend developer or developer who requires data storage."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its ubiquity. MySQL is everywhere, so if I need to find a developer to do things to it that I don't know, it's very easy to find someone who has expertise in it."
"Fully scalable and stable SQL-based RDBMS, with a straightforward and easy setup."
"We use it as a data store and from that perspective, we get everything we need."
"It could be more accessible for handling larger data sets."
"It would be beneficial if I could set a parameter and see different query mechanisms being run."
"Stability needs improvement and the backup needs to be enhanced."
"There should be more tools to manage the on-premises version and more automation features."
"It isn't as reliable as an SQL Server."
"MySQL's performance needs to be improved for enterprise-level applications compared to Oracle and Postgres."
"Even for the best database, we always want the database to perform much better, so we wish MySQL would be much better, in terms of performance."
"The user interface could be more user friendly. Mainly because most of the times we see black and white digital lines. Something like Python."
"Improvements to MySQL depend on the specific use case. For example, in my scenario, I frequently need to maintain and store data, which can then be utilized to generate reports. On the other hand, others may suggest incorporating a feature that allows for easier visualization of the data, such as what is available in Power BI or other similar tools."
"It does not stand out regarding scalability. When the company size increases, the user base having actual experience with (very) large MySQL solutions is reduced."
