    Our Integrated/brand marketing and Lifecycle marketing teams find monday CRM to be particularly useful for project management. Integrated marketing uses monday to build out our yearly promotional calendar, which keeps the entire company informed on all the launch and sale details for the year, across both retail and digital channels. The Lifecycle marketing team uses monday CRM to track individual campaign projects, mainly consisting of email asset creation. There are times when monday is not the preferred CRM platform, such as data and analytics tracking, project performance tracking, or scenarios when immediate feedback is required.

    MySQL is best suited for applications on platform like high-traffic content-driven websites, small-scale web apps, data warehouses which regards light analytical workloads. However its less suited for areas like enterprise data warehouse, OLAP cubes, large-scale reporting, applications requiring flexible or semi-structured data like event logging systems, product configurations, dynamic forms.

    Cons
    monday.com
    • It takes a while to get used to the UX if you are used to Hubspot or another CRM
    • We are still testing mass email functionality, it's a little less intuitive vs Hubspot
    • The quote/invoice forms are not pre-built into the CRM the way they are in Hubspot, so you have to manually set those up. Some might see that as a positive thing because it's more flexible with your respective tech stack, but it required more research on our end to make sure we set it up to flow efficiently.

    • Learning curve: is big. Newbies will face problems in understanding the platform initially. However, with plenty of online resources, one can easily find solutions to problems and learn on the go.
    • Backup and restore: MySQL is not very seamless. Although the data is never ruptured or missed, the process involved is not very much user-friendly. Maybe, a new command-line interface for only the backup-restore functionality shall be set up again to make this very important step much easier to perform and maintain.

    For teaching Databases and SQL, I would definitely continue to use MySQL. It provides a good, solid foundation to learn about databases. Also to learn about the SQL language and how it works with the creation, insertion, deletion, updating, and manipulation of data, tables, and databases. This SQL language is a foundation and can be used to learn many other database related concepts.

    It's a really easy to use and improve tool, that helps you to quickly master its functions and then helps you to improve the features usage as quickly as you learned the basis. Any doubts you have are easily solved by the contents and tutorials it provides, and if it doesn't solve it, the team is always quick to reply and help you.

    I give MySQL a 9/10 overall because I really like it but I feel like there are a lot of tech people who would hate it if I gave it a 10/10. I've never had any problems with it or reached any of its limitations but I know a few people who have so I can't give it a 10/10 based on those complaints.

    When I have requested customer service from monday.com account the person who I spoke with was really helpful but the set up to get a hold of someone in customer service was a little complicated and time-consuming. I had to get a ticket in an email and then wait for a specific person to call me back at a certain time, that's why I gave a six.

    We have never contacted MySQL enterprise support team for any issues related to MySQL. This is because we have been using primarily the MySQL Server community edition and have been using the MySQL support forums for any questions and practical guidance that we needed before and during the technical implementations. Overall, the support community has been very helpful and allowed us to make the most out of the community edition.

    Monday is significantly better. Not only is it more aesthetically pleasing it is just better overall. I feel as if Monday has a better system in regard to keeping track of all the files we have. Moreover, I also feel like the fact that it allows me to tag my other coworkers enables me to have better communication in the office.

    MongoDB has a dynamic schema for how data is stored in 'documents' whereas MySQL is more structured with tables, columns, and rows. MongoDB was built for high availability whereas MySQL can be a challenge when it comes to replication of the data and making everything redundant in the event of a DR or outage.
