Overall Satisfaction with MySQL

I use MySQL to manage our customer data within our applications. This also allows me to easily query this data to check usage, spot trends, and confirm client issues when they contact us. Since it's ubiquitous within the SaaS realm, it's easy to find tools that can visualize MySQL data.

Pros

  • Easy to query
  • Easy to maintain
  • Easy to implement within applications

Cons

  • It's not easy for novices
  • DB locks are a pain
  • It's free!
Harder for novices to use. Once you get used to it, though, it's a breeze. Every now and then you'll need to search for how to do something, but there is tons of documentation out there.
I like the structured nature of MySQL over MongoDB.

Do you think MySQL delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with MySQL's feature set?

Yes

Did MySQL live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of MySQL go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy MySQL again?

Yes

It's great for querying large amounts of data. If you're running a very basic application, it might not be the best option.
