Overall Satisfaction with MySQL
We use MySQL as the backend database for vendor products that support MySQL. It is an open source product so it addresses licensing costs as compared to using MS SQL.
- It's a very secure DB
- Reduced TCO
- High Performance
- Doesn't support very large DBs efficiently
- No stored procedures
- Quick patches for vulnerabilities
- Saved on purchasing MS SQL licenses
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.
