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."For sure, the solution is very stable."
"It is a very stable solution. I deployed the product six years ago, and it still works fine."
"The speed is very good."
"We use it as a data store and from that perspective, we get everything we need."
"MySQL's clustering features are very strong, and you can automate scripting, so that helps. We wrote a Terraform script and ran it."
"The initial setup for the SQL database is not complex and it even integrates into the platform. You set up the recipe and then just follow the runbook, the build book. Then it works as long as you follow the procedures."
"The tool is open-source and there is no cost involved in its use."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"It is very easy to start working with the product."
"The access to a suite of management and administration tools that simplify tasks such as database provisioning, configuration, and monitoring."
"The scalability of the database is absolutely guaranteed by the new features."
"The solution's performance is good."
"It's easy to use."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is data migration."
"The solution overall is very, very good. It's got good integration with other databases and adds new features often."
"When I run into issues, I really have to research how to fix them."
"I would like to have the ability to cancel a query in SQL Developer."
"I did the implementation of the solution myself and I used community support. The support from the vendor costs money."
"We require more ease of use, scalability, and high availability. These are some of the critical features that we use and look for in a product. It should be easier to manage clusters. Scalability is very important for us because our projects and concurrency requirements are quite big. We also require high availability of the server, application, and other things. It should also have more performance-based features or enhancements from the performance point of view. When we divide a database, it should be able to handle the queries very fast."
"There should be an arrangement for end-users to get trained to use the tool...Improvement-wise, a graphical interface could be added for new users, eliminating the need to memorize the complex syntax."
"The workbench could be improved. In particular, error messages can be improved, which are horrific and completely unhelpful. I'd like to see improved parsing of errors. When you write SQL and it crashes, it usually is something completely irrelevant and not helpful. I've started to use GPT 3.5 for finding out how to do things. I got to do something a bit different, and that I found to be very useful. If there was some way to tie it into one of the new AI tools, that would probably be a good idea."
"It could be more secure."
"In the next release, I would like to see the scalability features improved to allow you to configure it and reduce the complexity with the configuration, making it easier for the end-user to scale. Make it as simple as it can be."
"Sometimes, we face syntax issues with the solution."
"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 support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues."
"The solution should offer memory management."
"They could include more advanced features like clustering and replication in the Oracle databases."
"The product has many bugs."
"There could be more courses where the people could learn more easily how to use the tool."
