"I find the ease of deployment to be the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The solution is very useful for stock management."
"I appreciate the fact that, once the database is embedded, it doesn't need to be administered, and removes the requirement for a specific server."
"Firebird SQL is an open-source solution."
"The product was easy to use."
"I like that we don't have to pay external fees to migrate this data. So, we are looking to relocate from Postgres or EDB."
"The documentation is very well written."
"The product is easy to learn."
"The solution's performance is good."
"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 could improve by providing partitioning and encryption. It is not at the higher level of database solution but it could be with some upgrades."
"It would be nice to have a graphical user interface to handle the product."
"Technical support and performance could be better. We have some problems with this solution, but we don't know if the problem is with the database or the configuration. For example, sometimes, the users can't access the database."
"The main feature I expect is to be able to work with different databases at the same time because that's a wishlist item for me."
"I don't think the solution is very scalable, because the scalability of the performance when using more than one process is not very good."
"It would be good to have more automation and integration with the tools from other vendors."
"In the next release, it should support JSON, XML, and replication with third-party tools."
"It would be interesting if they added functionality with redundancy, reputation, and variability."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service's scalability is an area of concern that can be better."
"MySQL should have some kind of native query browser. If it could come with a built-in connector."
