It is an open-source solution.
View full review »The cost is quite good. You can have the open source, free version, which has adequate capacity. Compared to Oracle, MariaDB has a more flexible policy and less officials. Oracle is too big of an organization, and they do certain things that leave a sour taste in our mouth. Dealing with a smaller company is sometimes better, especially for smaller systems.
I would rate the licensing cost as nine out of 10.

View full review »The solution is free, but if you want the enterprise version you will need to pay for some licenses but the cost is less than other solutions, such as Oracle.
View full review »I rate the product's price a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price since there are some support costs involved, even though it isn't an open-source solution.
View full review »Price-wise, the product is affordable. The product is not expensive.
I can't speak to the exact pricing.
The cost of licensing is dependent on the projects. We have many types of licensing. We have a subscription and we also have some like lesson sheets that we buy. After, we just pay for the maintenance.
My company uses the free version of the solution.

MariaDB is an open-source software, meaning I don't need to pay for the product.
I haven't used the licensing model for MariaDB, but I would prefer to use it since I am familiar with the platform and find it easy to work with. I wouldn't want to switch to a different database management system.
View full review »We use the open source edition which doesn't require licensing. We don't offer the enterprise edition, because if we're taking the customer off Oracle, for the additional benefits, we have to optimize the cost. If we have a customer with budget constraints, it's saving hundreds of thousands of dollars, sometimes millions, if we use MariaDB instead of Oracle.

The licensing cost is approximately $4000.00 per year and the licensing is based on the software and the number of posts that you make.

MySQL is under a license for Oracle, which means that it is free and cheaper than other systems and databases.
When it comes to MariaDB, it should have a more cost-effective license.
