Overall Satisfaction with MySQL
I currently use it to manage databases of several internal web development applications of the company's personal and computer department. It is a versatile database manager. It is easy to use and install. And, because it is relational, it is very easy to locate information, export data, and make changes, among others. It does not require much induction for certain users to use it for some activities.
- The main advantage is that it is an open source app, so you have the free version, and if you want the paid version, the cost is very competitive.
- It does not require a team or many resources to be installed and used.
- It is a good application to access databases on the internet because it connects quickly, it is very fast and safe.
- I do not recommend it if you require a more robust database or for applications used by the organization with a high volume of information since it is not efficient.
- Many of the utilities are not documented to improve the performance or user experience.
- When talking about data security, it is always a matter of not skimping on money. With this application, unauthorized access to the data is not possible because it is protected with a password encrypted in the database. The data can be recovered using a secure copy for solutions in the cloud. MySQL is competitive in the market and works for small and medium companies where sometimes the technology costs can be very high.
First of all, it's free and open source and MySQL supports more programming languages. The MySQL query syntax is easier to learn compared to other database management software. It also works perfectly with Linux or Unix servers. But compared with others, MySQL runs slow on large tables. If you have transactions with a large amount of data, it can not be done properly. This affects the performance of the screens.
