We performed a comparison between MySQL and Oracle MySQL Cloud Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Open Source Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to use. It is simple to implement, which makes it suitable for our projects because we have deadlines. MySQL is also open-source, which is another plus point."
"It creates a unified view of the entire architecture and performance factor, helping to manage the network more easily."
"It is easy to use."
"The initial setup is easy."
"We are completely comfortable with the database’s performance and it is a mature product. My organization was looking for an open-source database for our smaller customers like the community edition. For bigger customers, we can scale into commercial and supported editions."
"It has a lot of features. The RDBMS, consistency, and multi-user features are valuable."
"We use it as a data store and from that perspective, we get everything we need."
"It is free, which is probably its most valuable feature. It is a pretty full-featured relational database. It really does everything we need it to do."
"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."
"The product is easy to learn."
"The scalability of the database is absolutely guaranteed by the new features."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service handles data easily."
"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."
"The GUI interface probably can be improved. Let us say I want to see the relationships in the database. In the query analyzer, I would like to go and drop the tables and create relationships between the tables. I haven't found a feature like that in MySQL. It was a shortcoming even in SQL Server. MySQL can have more performance monitoring tools. I know Google has these tools, but within MySQL, there are not that many tools to monitor things like performance and database locking. They might be in there, and I might not be familiar enough to know where they are. I am a pretty new user of MySQL."
"MySQL's performance requires attention. For optimal performance, one should review and sometimes revise the code, particularly when using server-side scripting."
"On the database side, it should be really lightweight, and the data structure should be like MongoDB."
"It could be more secure."
"I would like to have features that allow us to jump between the cloud and our on-premises system."
"Security is a concern. MySQL could have better security features."
"The workbench could be improved. In particular, error messages can be improved, which are horrific and completely unhelpful. I'd like to see improved parsing of errors. When you write SQL and it crashes, it usually is something completely irrelevant and not helpful. I've started to use GPT 3.5 for finding out how to do things. I got to do something a bit different, and that I found to be very useful. If there was some way to tie it into one of the new AI tools, that would probably be a good idea."
"The replication needs improvement. It's becoming a native cloud product like Oracle DB or Cockroach DB."
"The product has many bugs."
"The tool’s stability must be improved."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service's scalability is an area of concern that can be better."
"Sometimes, we face syntax issues with the solution."
"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."
"There could be more courses where the people could learn more easily how to use the tool."
"The solution should offer memory management."
