"The main advantage is the very large user base. This enables users to fix about any issue by answering any question."
"Fully scalable and stable SQL-based RDBMS, with a straightforward and easy setup."
"MySQL is a popular database platform for businesses because it is extremely easy to use."
"The one interesting thing about this product is that it is open source. It comes from an open source product. MySQL has been positioned as open source, but it also provides support."
"The solution is free to use, which is its most valuable aspect."
"One of the best features is this solution is easy to use."
"We are completely comfortable with the database’s performance and it is a mature product. My organization was looking for an open-source database for our smaller customers like the community edition. For bigger customers, we can scale into commercial and supported editions."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"It has a programming language so anything that we require for Selenium is all available there."
"The solution is stable."
"Able to write queries more efficiently and the management of data has become better and easier."
"It's very clever."
"There have been no issues in relation to stability. We've never really had do to any recoveries. It is very stable."
"The additional value of having Java inside the Oracle database is all the security that is applied to an Oracle database will be enforced on Java's stored procedures as well."
"Could use some additional JSON query support in the solution."
"I would like to have the ability to cancel a query in SQL Developer."
"MySQL could introduce more indexing strategies."
"The full-text search feature must be improved."
"The solution could improve by having better performance and security."
"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."
"I would like to improve the solution’s pricing for licenses."
"MySQL's performance requires attention. For optimal performance, one should review and sometimes revise the code, particularly when using server-side scripting."
"The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language."
"It'll be better if Oracle Java supports open source technologies, like Node.js."
"Needs improvement in consistency issues with respect to timeframes."
"In terms of improvement, I'd like an automation tool that is lower priced. The core prices are very high."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using Oracle products is vendor lock-in."
