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."Apart from the features that are in the enterprise part, we find the database to be valuable. The connectors and the backup features are valuable as well. We use the basic database. We don't really use the extra features. Our clients like the security features in the database."
"The fact that it is free is what appeals to me the most."
"It has a remote access feature to manage the database from a remote location. This enables in-work collaboration."
"MySQL is easy to use, has fast performance, and it is comfortable for end-user to use. The schema level and structure we are using are very simple and easy to understand. Additionally, packaging tool development is straightforward and the data is presented in a way that is very simple to understand."
"A lot of the software components have been trialed and tested for often more than 10 years."
"I would use MySQL for a medium project, with around 1,00,000 hundred thousand users, because of the indexing and stored procedures."
"The initial setup for the SQL database is not complex and it even integrates into the platform. You set up the recipe and then just follow the runbook, the build book. Then it works as long as you follow the procedures."
"The main advantage is the very large user base. This enables users to fix about any issue by answering any question."
"It's easy to use."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to use and implement."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is flexible and is an open-source product."
"The most valuable feature is the data aggregation function."
"The stability of the solution is very good. I wouldn't have used it for the past seven years if I was not satisfied."
"It is very easy to start working with the product."
"The solution overall is very, very good. It's got good integration with other databases and adds new features often."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"While utilizing a comparable algorithm, is noted to be sensitive, especially when configuring the inner device."
"Its scalability can be better. It is probably not as scalable as Oracle. I had some issues with connectors. I used it from a C++ program, and it required some work to make it run, but finally, it worked."
"Could use some additional JSON query support in the solution."
"The interface could be improved."
"Oracle should start putting in some of the enterprise features in the standard feature. There are some key features that should be part of the standard."
"We have encountered some performance issues, and the solution takes time for performing complex queries."
"Some problems with big table operations, and a struggle to keep the servers responding in peak situations."
"They should come up with a better solution than the NDB cluster for better scaling. If they could come up with a better solution for write scaling, apart from the NDB cluster, which is supported by all open source communities, that would be great. Although the NDB cluster, I believe, is an open-source tool, it's not widely supported as a 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 tool’s stability must be improved."
"The solution should offer memory management."
"Sometimes MySQL does upgrades on the server. When we are still using the old server and when they integrate the upgrade, they don't carry along some of the old syntaxes. The versions don't sync."
"The user interface is not simple."
"MySQL should have some kind of native query browser. If it could come with a built-in connector."
