    It is able to handle simultaneous connections when using the embedded software version. It is well suited for organizations looking for standalone servers that can handle high data volumes and still perform well and which is also cost-effective database management system especially when they are working on a low budget.

    Because it is free and usually zero maintenance. Just the issue of more difficult format updates in the future lower the rating a bit.

    Usability
    Open Source
    Usability has improved by unifying the architecture. The only thing's missing out of the box is a simple GUI DB tool for viewing DB contents and maybe running some SQL queries.

    This is an open source project. It provides a fair amount of free documentation and I think forums somewhere...

    Even somebody just starting to use RDBMS himself should get it working quickly, at least if he's got a GUI tool and some SQL knowledge.
