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."The most valuable feature of MySQL is the informative error outputs of command line interface."
"What I really like about MySQL is the opportunity to search for information and organize it any way I like."
"The solution is very simple. It's easy to use. That's the most important feature."
"It creates a unified view of the entire architecture and performance factor, helping to manage the network more easily."
"The deployment process is pretty fast."
"Fully scalable and stable SQL-based RDBMS, with a straightforward and easy setup."
"For starters, it's free, which is always nice, and it's also pretty straightforward to use. It's a nice conventional database."
"It's a mature solution that's been around for decades."
"The access to a suite of management and administration tools that simplify tasks such as database provisioning, configuration, and monitoring."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to use and implement."
"It is very easy to start working with the product."
"The solution's performance is good."
"The scalability of the database is absolutely guaranteed by the new features."
"The most valuable feature is the data aggregation function."
"The solution overall is very, very good. It's got good integration with other databases and adds new features often."
"From a user perspective, the initial setup could be simplified a bit."
"I would like to have features that allow us to jump between the cloud and our on-premises system."
"It could be a little bit simpler to use."
"The solution could improve by having better performance and security."
"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."
"We have encountered some performance issues, and the solution takes time for performing complex queries."
"They should come up with a better solution than the NDB cluster for better scaling. If they could come up with a better solution for write scaling, apart from the NDB cluster, which is supported by all open source communities, that would be great. Although the NDB cluster, I believe, is an open-source tool, it's not widely supported as a solution."
"The solution could be more secure."
"The solution should offer memory management."
"The technical support is in need of improvement."
"Improvement could be made in the workflow, particularly when it comes to making changes or implementing certain functions."
"Integrating business intelligence or NLP solutions would help us save time and would prevent us from having to take a deep dive. Data problems seem to multiply on the system when you interact with it. Automation would save a lot of man-hours."
"The tool’s stability must be improved."
"Sometimes, we face syntax issues with the solution."
"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."
