Pros

“I was a newbie when I start using MariaDB but the database was pretty easy to handle and use. This database can do competition with MySQL because both databases have good quality and usability.”

Torikul I.

Freelancer - Web Developer

“My overall experience with MariaDB has been very favorable. I like the clustering features a lot, and it's built in already, which is awesome since it saves me time.”

Cindy C.

Owner

“The improved fork of an excellent solution, integrate with a lot of software.”

Daniel P.

Innovation and product developer

Cons

“Sometimes it's slow on merging upstream from MySQL which becomes pain because you can't use the same feature which already exists in MySQL.”

Verified reviewer

Anonymity request

“I had some problems where I couldn't actually login as the root user even though I set a password for them. The only way I've been able to is by using sudo.”

Hunter B.

Ops

“It doesn't have all the MySQL features and it has delayed compatibility with MySQL versions starting from 5.5.”

Haritha W.

Software Engineer
