Pros

“Writing queries, filtering data, joining tables, and retrieving specific information is efficient, and there is a large amount of documentation available when you need help.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Rashad G.

New Well Delivery and Geomechanics Team Lead

“I use MySQL for all our internal projects in our company for our DB software.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Ryan M.

Board Advisor

“MySQL have great features for a organization which is depending on no crash and no performance issues.”
VD

Vijay D.

Director

Pros

“The price is a little steep for a small company or a individual to purchase considering that the database layer is not typically the only thing a developer has to focus on, so pricing could be about 50% lower and you would probably have 10x the number of users.”
CS

Christopher S.

Owner

“Backup and restore tasks are also straightforward and easy to handle.”
ML

Markus L.

---

“The price might be a bit high considering there are several free tools available that offer similar basic functionality.”
FL

Francisco L.

CEO

Cons

“One of the most irritating problem is crashing Workbench during altering tables”
VD

Vijay D.

Director

“MySQL becomes lagging and doesn't handle queries well when working with large, heavy and complex datasets, unlike MSSQL or PostgreSQL.”
SK

Shreyas K.

Reporting Financial Analyst

“One common criticism of MySQL is its handling of complex queries and lack of advanced features compared to other databases like PostgreSQL.”
MR

Mahmood R.

Call center

Cons

“The support team often requests an excessive amount of data—sometimes even requiring a near-complete copy of the database—which is impractical and raises privacy concerns.”
MA

Manuel A.

IT Manager

“The version control was not intuitive (you have to push to the file, then push to git for instance), so a better "wizard" for getting new users through the process might be helpful.”
