We performed a comparison between MariaDB and Percona Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, PostgreSQL, MariaDB and others in Open Source Databases."The speed and functionality are the most valuable features."
"It is a scalable solution. It easily scales up and scales down."
"I like the global transaction IDs (GTIDs) feature. It's quite reliable for replication between a master and a replica server, and it's a feature that MySQL also has but implemented differently."
"The solution is very stable. It was originally built under MySQL. It has a similar level of stability."
"The solution runs very quickly. It's not slow at all."
"The documentation is quite straightforward."
"It's a very easy product to set up."
"We like the easy way that we can collect data from other databases."
"We find the product mostly stable."
"The performance could be a bit better."
"It would be helpful if I could specify multiple drives for the database storage."
"We'd like more data intelligence."
"I am editing."
"Replication could be better, and it's not so simple. It would be better if they had a replication server. It would make things a lot easier. You need to have that replication server, but not in the same server farm. Then there will be a bit of latency between both because you should have one in one city and another one in a different city. That kind of solution should be more baked into every single database today. Mirroring the database in a live environment where any record written on the production server replicates instantly across the fiber on the other server wasn't easy. Many people don't even bother with that, and they just run one server."
"MariaDB should provide HA and archive logging... I haven't had the opportunity to use the features provided by the solution since I don't know how to see them."
"The difficult part related to the product stems not from the tool itself but is related to learning how to implement the product in the right way without creating any wrong configuration that could cause security issues or performance issues."
"MariaDB doesn't handle long or complex SQL queries quite as well as Oracle Database."
"If Percona had flashback capabilities, it would be ideal."
