We performed a comparison between Amazon Aurora and Oracle MySQL Cloud Service 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."Aurora's compatibility with MySQL or PostgreSQL benefited our database management. The migration from on-premise MySQL to Aurora was similar, so we didn't need to change our source code."
"The provision of custom read and write endpoints eliminates the need for managing a separate proxy load balancer."
"The solution’s scalability is good since we don’t need to take a maintenance window during unpredictable workloads. I like the solution’s behind-the-scenes happenings. It is a great feature."
"We had better control over the parameters that we could tweak in terms of intermediate storage and better indexing capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to do multiple-read and single-write. These are the kinds of features that we were interested in, and Aurora takes care of that natively."
"The most valuable feature is that the maintainability is offloaded to the service provider. I don't have to maintain a database or do any administrative tasks, which comes in handy."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon Aurora is SQL standardization, it doesn't have its own syntax which is good. It has a lot of hands-off self-management type of activities, such as log rolling and auto-scaling."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service handles data easily."
"The scalability of the database is absolutely guaranteed by the new features."
"The most valuable feature is the data aggregation function."
"The product is easy to learn."
"The solution's performance is good."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is flexible and is an open-source product."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to use and implement."
"It is very easy to start working with the product."
"There is improvement needed to have more developer focus. Additionally, it would be helpful to have a stand-alone solution outside of Amazon. Amazon has a tendency to favor developing web-based clients, which may not always provide the fastest or most responsive solution as desired."
"The product's distributed query process for MySQL needs improvement."
"It would have been helpful if they had provided some benchmarking numbers."
"I would like to see more AI-related features in future releases."
"I would like to see performance insights on the database based on the queries. Currently, we use SolarWinds as the monitoring tool. I would like to leverage SolarWinds’ performance insights in AWS services. SolarWinds gives larger insights when we run performance issues."
"It is a bit costly. The features are quite good, and I wouldn't say it requires any technical improvements. But from a cost perspective, some clients wouldn't go for Aurora because of that."
"The pricing could improve. It should be reduced."
"The user interface is not simple."
"Sometimes, we face syntax issues with the solution."
"It requires a significant amount of expertise and effort to manage, especially when dealing with substantial volumes of data."
"MySQL should have some kind of native query browser. If it could come with a built-in connector."
"Improvement could be made in the workflow, particularly when it comes to making changes or implementing certain functions."
"In a production environment, upgrading from a lower to an upper version is a very long process that needs to be improved."
"The product has many bugs."
"The tool’s stability must be improved."
