We performed a comparison between MySQL and Oracle Multitenant based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."For starters, it's free, which is always nice, and it's also pretty straightforward to use. It's a nice conventional database."
"The way that MySQL has improved my organization is that it comes free and also works fine on the technical side."
"The solution helps us perform with our databases and extract data."
"MySQL is an easy-to-use solution that provides stability, reliability, flexibility, performance, security, and high availability."
"I would use MySQL for a medium project, with around 1,00,000 hundred thousand users, because of the indexing and stored procedures."
"When comparing MySQL to other solutions it is easier to use and boots up faster. Additionally, when you want to query a lot of data, MySQL is better in performance."
"We use the basic features of MySQL. The interface that allows us to see the parameters of the server is good."
"The speed is very good."
"The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."
"The database becomes pluggable. Inside this container is called a pluggable database and each application contains this pluggable database inside Multitenant. We can then share resources like control files, memory, etc. This lets you stop and start each application without impacting the others. This resource sharing is the most valuable feature"
"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."
"You can scale the solution as needed."
"It's easy to use and works great."
"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."
"Sometimes, I get lost in the toggles and buttons, and a better visual design would be nice. The layout is not user-friendly or efficient."
"Security is a concern. MySQL could have better security features."
"I would like to see some improvements in the solution’s integration aspects."
"The solution could have better integration and security features."
"The GUI interface probably can be improved. Let us say I want to see the relationships in the database. In the query analyzer, I would like to go and drop the tables and create relationships between the tables. I haven't found a feature like that in MySQL. It was a shortcoming even in SQL Server. MySQL can have more performance monitoring tools. I know Google has these tools, but within MySQL, there are not that many tools to monitor things like performance and database locking. They might be in there, and I might not be familiar enough to know where they are. I am a pretty new user of MySQL."
"We want high availability and replication features, which are currently missing in this solution. It would be great if they can provide an in-built replication feature, similar to Oracle RAC, in MySQL."
"MySQL lacks a feature akin to Oracle's Real Application Clusters, which ensures continuous database availability within the same data center or nearby data centers."
"This solution needs to be improved when it comes to working with desktop applications on the developer side."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
"That said, Oracle in general doesn't invest in their UI for any of their applications. If we're talking about the dashboard or other user experience, there is room for improvement. I'm talking about on premises. The cloud version has started to improve."
"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."
"The user interface for this solution can be made better."
"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
"It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it."
"Technical support could be faster."
