Pros

The availability of this tool is fabulous and configuring setting up clusters is done in minutes. Also, the performance of this service is amazing, be it in any region, across the globe.
Ease of being able to access the information or saved documents of high importance. Love the fact you can connect with others and build great relationships with.
I love how easy and user friendly this software is. It is also very reliable and consistently just works.

Pros

Easy to install and free, nice tool to write SQL queries. Important for data analysts and a good tool on the market.
Overall MySQL is an amazing database for any kind of application. It is robust with almost every feature an application needs.
Great database for open-source but commercial products as well. It has very good performance and lots of additional features (like log-based replication) included without additional cost.

Cons

It is charged in dollar which makes it very expensive for people living in countries where the local currency is weak compared to the US dollar.
I dislike that it causes me to worry about privacy in regards to anything I upload. You never truly know where it's going or who has access when it goes to the cloud.
Navigation on the pages can be confusing at times and some information is not updated for the latest version.

Cons

Error messages are not well explanatory. If you are stuck with an issue, it is difficult to get a support.
Really large databases become slow and need a lot of maintenance. Error messages are often vague and unhelpful so finding what went wrong requires a lot of work.
Worst thing is that in scenarios with multitenant databases with somewhat mediocre load MySQL starts to leak memory.

Mysql is my preferred platform

Pros

first off, the availability of MySQL across multiple platforms is why i love it . Mysql has a great interface and its user friendly. Easy to export the sql dump and import into another mysql installation. Likewise the fact that it is free makes it very popular on many systems

Cons

There are some syntax compatibility issues with MariaDB when trying to use their sql dump on either platforms

GCP - Super Computing power

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

The Google BigQuery feature is the most precious tool in the platform. It can perform queries on a database that is several TB's in storage in a matter of seconds and minutes. It can perform join operations on huge datasets, editing schemas is very easy, no painful migration processes.

Cons

Does have some weird constraints like, columns names should have not spaces, number precision requirement, and does not provide every single feature as that of PostgreSQL or MySQL.

CloudSql as a cloud counter part to popular RDBMS answers

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

The ability to provision a postgres/mysql deployment in the cloud with just a few clicks is a valuable feature for businesses that rely on databases to manage their data. This feature enables businesses to quickly and easily deploy the same database that would normally be on-premises in a cloud environment, providing greater flexibility and scalability. This feature also benefits third-party tools that require a database, as it allows for seamless integration and interaction.

Cons

It's true that compared to other data solutions in the ecosystem, Google Cloud SQL may not have the highest performance capabilities. However, it still provides reliable and scalable database services that meet the needs of many businesses.

MySQL (now MariaDB for the non-Oracle version) is super popular, so it's easy to find compatible frameworks and there is a good supply of database administrators.

Cons

Sometimes cloud providers (e.g. GCP) only offer older versions of MySQL which don't have the features we need, so we need to stand up our own instances or use an alternative DB.

Good for custom web-based DB backed implementations

Reviewed 6 years ago

As Finance manager I led a project to develop a web-based system to share payroll receipts to thousands employees in our factory. For that purpose we built some kiosks with printers embedded (client-side) and a Linux server running a cloud platform. MySQL engine has been the best solution to run the cloud system and store thousands payroll records per week, and allows a secure encrypted access through kiosk terminals.

Pros

Most valuable features: - High compatibility with most web-based open-source platforms, like CMS, clouds, e-commerce, blogs. - State of the art of SQL language - Highly intuitive admin interface for almost every task - Can be host on cloud or on-premise in your local infrastructure

Cons

MySQL is not for everybody, to be used proficiently you need some knowledge about DB architecture, SQL syntax for queries, and admin skills to properly set privileges. Despite that, most of open-source platforms that use MySQL to store data include automatic setup in their install routines.

Its not a community based database system so lacks the continuous improvement as per users. Doesn't have enough debugging tool as that of competitors.

A good fully functioning database engine. I quite like it!

Pros

Quite easy to deploy on Linux. Combined with MyPHPadmin you get a fully functioning database engine. Good performance.

Cons

Some of the error messages are difficult to understand. Google does a decent job of putting them into English!

MySQL

One of the best database system to handle large amount of data

Reviewed 3 years ago

I found MySQL reliable, robust and traditional database system and overall a good choice for the organisations looking for managing the data.

Pros

MySQL is one of the most popular and extensively used RDBMS among a lot of organisations even today. It provides faster query time and indexing features to query millions of records in quick time. It also provides a GUI client and command line interface with its own set of commands to perform various operations on databases and tables. It is one of the most reliable and tested database engine over time.

Cons

MySQL has been traditionally used as RDBMS and facing a huge competition with cloud based database providers, big data and in-memory databases. A lot of organisations are looking for alternatives to MySQL due to its traditional way of storing and querying the data. MySQL should expand its services more on the cloud providers and also should ease the steps required for installing and administrating the software which consumes a lot of time for the developers and users of MySQL. The GUI client could be made more user-friendly as well.

I love MySQL!

Reviewed 5 years ago

MySQL is the "backend" for much of the software on my home Pi server. It just keeps working.

Pros

Free database software; what could be better? I've used this at home for years; it's installed on my Raspberry Pi web/email/cloud storage server. Couldn't be happier with it!

Cons

Nothing, and I mean nothing! MySQL has been solid for years and years, and continues to serve me well. Newer Linux databases have arrived on the scene, but MySQL is still a very, very solid choice.

Excellent Open Source RDBMS to cater small and medium projects

Reviewed 5 years ago

I have use MySql a lot for small projects, and light weight web applications.Its easy to interact and implement. A cloud version of mysql "Amazon Aurora" in AWS gives very reliable and scalable RDBMS features is worth looking into

Pros

1. Open-source RDMS, also available in Amazon Web Services. 2. Easy to learn and implement, less complexity in installation and maintenance. 3. Cross Platform compatibility like Mac, Windows and Linux, 4. Command line operations are easy to perform, also MSSql Workbench software which is availble on mysql website helps a lotin gaining good insights and manage the mysql database and track realtime metrics like storage , RAM usage, queries per second, connections etc.

Cons

1. For large data or concurrent operations, it takes a performance hit, and over utilization of resources ,in such cases it is not as reliable as compared to Oracle or MS SQL Server. 2. Full fledge stored procedure functionality not available compared to other databases like Postgresql. 3. Also Scalability is a concern.

MySQL

A Reliable Relational Database Service

Reviewed 3 years ago

MySQL is very compatible with almost all types of cloud service providers. We can use it for free because it is open source. So, I will recommend everyone to use it. The overall experience of mine with this software is really nice.

Pros

MySQL is very reliable when it comes to a relational database management system. It is one of the most popular among all of the Database management systems out there. It is higly Integrated and provides a high performance. It is fully managed and we can use it to build any cloud native applications.

Cons

MySQL is very favourite to me. I personally haven't found any cons of this database since I love working with Relational Databases.

Great for your next php website

Reviewed 5 years ago

We are using MySQL mainly with our WordPress installations and it has been great so far without any major problems.

Pros

MySQL is easy to setup and with cloud options the costs of building and maintaining your own infrastructure are a thing of the past. Awesome documentation makes it easy to start using MySQL for any newcomer.

Cons

Few settings are a bit obscure (switching from using a disk to mainly using RAM).

MySQL is the ubiquitous Database platform for the web

Reviewed 4 years ago

I use MySQL with a popular content management system, and it has never, in any way let me down. Our CMS has custom database query commands, so I hardly ever have create my own queries. Even when I do manually write queries I have access to years of documentation to help me along.

Pros

MySQL is a robust, well document, secure, and interoperable database system software. Almost everyone, all the way down from the vast majority of cheap shared hosting providers up to enterprise cloud hosting providers has support for MySQL databases. I don't need to know how to write queries to use it as there are a number of visual tools to write and execute queries. It is scalable. A project can start small on a single server and grow huge to work in a distributed cloud ecosystem.

Cons

Learning MySQL is a steep learning curve however you don't have to learn it in most cases as there are frameworks, and visual tools that create MySQL queries for you.
