Overall Satisfaction with MySQL

We use MySQL Database multiple departments across the organization as an RDMS(relational database management system) for small-medium projects, easy to implement, cost-effective, easy to make changes, easy test, and supports millions of records. MySQL supports multiple database engines and we use mostly InnoDB to store the data, organize the data, and reporting purposes.
  • Multiple database engines.
  • Open source
  • Supports millions of records.
  • User interface to manage DB.
  • Data replica or auto sync between two servers.
  • Best cost savings.
  • Easy to implement.
  • Data import and export is very easy.
Before MySQL, our team was exploring and evaluating different options for a good RDMS (relational database management system) service. We explored Oracle, MSSQL, and Google BigQuery. Most of these are costly and not easy to maintain in the long run in terms of price especially when data is millions of records. It also supports storing millions of records/transactions.

Do you think MySQL delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Yes

Did MySQL live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of MySQL go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy MySQL again?

Yes

MySQL is free to use under the GNU license so most of the open-source, non-profit organizations can use it for free, it is easy to adapt and implement, and most cost savings compare with other SQL providers in the market. It is most suitable for small to medium projects and not recommend for banking and enterprise projects.
