Overall Satisfaction with MySQL

MySQL is used on one side of our organization, where the need for a strong and free database engine is mandatory. It covers all the needs we have related to efficiency and database handling, as many others paid engines, and we are happy with the performance and availability of the data stored on it. Due to customs restrictions, we choose MySQL as the most convenient engine, and we are very pleased with our choice.
  • Availabilty of the data
  • Complex queries
  • Data storage and maintenance
  • Optimization
  • Support
  • Connection witout plug-ins
  • Low Cost - Free
  • Easy to install and maintain
  • Free support and communities, as well
  • There is a lot of people who knows it, and can support
Cost related, is the biggest advantage.

Would you buy MySQL again?

It is perfectly suited for a company, that has a limited budget to pay for a database engine, and needs all of the capabilities of a paid service. Also needs complex data structures as well as connection with most of the data mining or business intelligence. Also great for open-source operating systems, because of their simplicity to install and maintain.
