Overall Satisfaction with MySQL

We are a service-based company so we have multiple projects running simultaneously and many times the projects can be of different domains as well. We needed a system that could be used for multiple domains easily so that our teams do not have to learn a new technology every time they work on a new project and also be cost-effective. when choosing the DBMS system we opted for MySQL as it is lite weight, efficient, and open source. Thus reducing the cost as well as increasing our productivity.
  • We use MySQL in the development of our Client specific E-COmmerce website, as it is an efficient and easy-to-manage System with a lot of features.
  • Backup and restore functions are really good so if anything goes wrong on client-server it is easy to restore our data.
  • A major drawback of MySQL is it cannot be used on large database sizes and slows down in such cases.
  • Data security
  • High performance when working with small to medium sized Data-stores.
  • Being open source has reduce our Application cost efficiently.
  • Its high performance helps produce efficient software.
MySQL is open source and reduces development costs drastically.
