"For non-production purposes. I'm just using it for my personal project, so it works quite well. I haven't faced any errors yet."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is a cloud-based tool, so it is pretty fast."

"The integration with other products is seamless."
"The product has been stable and reliable."

"I would like to see more compatibility going forward. This would help if there is a need to change databases."
"I’m not sure if it can scale."
"The license should be cheaper and closer to that offered by MySQL, Oracle and other products."
"It's not very stable. It needs improvement."
"With respect to clustering and the master-slave configuration, sometimes the slave goes out of synch."
"If Percona had flashback capabilities, it would be ideal."
