We performed a comparison between LocalDB and MySQL 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."The solution is fast."
"The initial setup was simple."
"The most valuable feature of LocalDBis the connection between the application and DB."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. The guidelines are very easy to follow. Maintenance is very easy and requires very little manpower."
"It's a mature solution that's been around for decades."
"A good traditional database that supports JSON."
"MySQL's most significant attribute is its capability to create, modify, and maintain databases. This is crucial and advantageous in procedures, such as SOAR. Therefore, all SQL functions are beneficial to any backend developer or developer who requires data storage."
"What I really like about MySQL is the opportunity to search for information and organize it any way I like."
"I am totally satisfied with MySQL."
"Compared to other databases, MySQL is cheaper and we were using the community edition which was free of cost. ML is fully integrated with the database in HeatWave. It has also many other features. MySQL is a far better solution in terms of pricing."
"The solution helps us perform with our databases and extract data."
"I like MySQL because of its community."
"The internal connection features of LocalDB could improve."
"The solution needs to create a management tool. Right now, the solution has tools for creating a local installation, but it's too simplistic. We need something that's a bit more complex so that we can extend the tools with our scripts."
"The initial setup is complex and requires a skilled person."
"The ALM features can be improved, but the database by itself is reliable."
"It should have some code analytical functions. It can also have a monitoring tool."
"The backup methods need improvement."
"In terms of what I'd like to see in the next release, one thing that's always missing is dash boarding. There's no real BI tool for MySQL, like there is in Yellowfin and all the different tools that you get. They all have MySQL connectors, but there's no specific BI tool for MySQL. These open source projects have sprung up, but they're more general purpose."
"Could use some additional JSON query support in the solution."
"The documentation is pretty weak and should be improved."
"The replication needs improvement. It's becoming a native cloud product like Oracle DB or Cockroach DB."
"It could be a little bit simpler to use."
"The product is a little bit complex and it is difficult to find sufficient documentation."
