"It is very easy to start working with the product."
"The solution overall is very, very good. It's got good integration with other databases and adds new features often."
"The access to a suite of management and administration tools that simplify tasks such as database provisioning, configuration, and monitoring."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is data migration."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to use and implement."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is flexible and is an open-source product."
"The stability of the solution is very good. I wouldn't have used it for the past seven years if I was not satisfied."
"The product is easy to use."
"Enables us to convert to bigger DBs and more easily move or upgrade between branches."
"I find query optimization to be highly valuable for data management. Additionally, drag-and-drop query creation greatly facilitates data management tasks."
"SQL Server scales well."
"The solution is easy to use and provides similar features to other competitors."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Very stable relational database management system that offers ease of management, querying, and scaling. It has well-designed databases."
"SQL Server is an inexpensive solution. I recommend it if the project isn't sensitive. SQL is similar to Oracle and integrates well with tools in the cloud environment. The difference is that Oracle is for data solutions where there is replication and moderation."
"There could be more courses where the people could learn more easily how to use the tool."
"The solution should offer memory management."
"The product has many bugs."
"Sometimes MySQL does upgrades on the server. When we are still using the old server and when they integrate the upgrade, they don't carry along some of the old syntaxes. The versions don't sync."
"The support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues."
"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."
"Sometimes, we face syntax issues with the solution."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service's scalability is an area of concern that can be better."
"Indexing, as well as integration, are areas of this product that need improvement."
"Performance could be improved."
"The documentation could be much better. It's lacking right now. If there are better help pages, for even complicated queries and stuff like that that would be quite a help for users."
"Security is an issue."
"It is very costly, and that's the reason people are moving away from SQL Server."
"Microsoft doesn't have active-active load balancing scenarios. It's always a failover cluster."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"In my experience, I've found that scalability can be improved."
