InterSystems data management software is in use at hundreds of thousands of production deployments through healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, utilities, retail, supply chain and logistics,
Overall, my experience with MYSQL has been great. This is a very reliable and efficient software, and is very popular throughout the industry owing to its features and stability.
With huge data, I had faced data loss and improper data retrieval but it is very rare and manageable. Some of the error messages are so general and unable represent the actual problem.
I like the security it provides for the users. And i am happy with the ability of portability of the data with the secondary databases.
I think the main downside for me is that the software is not that intuitive. I struggled a bit and it demanded some research to get used to it.
It was recommend by my friend and he said that it is very fast and reliable data base program but also it is very simple to understand and work with it. There for I choosed it and he said true.
This i a known well-issue, and there is no cure at this moment, you have to reboot the database instance. This is simply a disaster.
The recent upgrades to allow JSON fields has been wonderful. Also Amazon's version "Aurora" is awesome.
The version update is bad it should have an automatic update and to use in the HTTPS url for example just internally messing with his code.
The software is very fast and easy to use. The documentation is very good and it has a lot of good information.
And others that were lost because of the broad range of possibilities not finding their way.
Even if you only need to work with text files or handle thousands of http requests IRIS will provide great performance, monitorig tools and superb stabilty.
Unless you configure the admin settings properly at the beginning , you'll get a lot of permission restrictions later on and dealing with those can be frustrating.
Easy to manage the data and analyse, its very good for the one who need to analyse the big database data and it support all kind of database.
The look and feel, I miss some interaction between classes and the business process fields. You need to copy paste classes to the fields instead of a rolldown in some cases.
Eventually we can use this as a database and integration engine as well. I really recommend this wonderful product.
Using Cache Object script can be a pain as the error codes can be quite difficult to work with and the Studio IDE lacks some ease-of-use features.
Samuel S.: Hi, my name's Samuel. I'm a director for a website design company, and I recommend MySQL. I'll give it a five out of five, and if you want to see more reviews like this, click the link below. Before using MySQL, I used to use Excel for my data. I used to store my data like that, but I needed a more reliable, more accessible way to get connected to my data, so I decided to use MySQL, which is great. I really like using MySQL, because my data is all in a central location now. It's very secure, as well, and it allows me to have more than one user connecting to the database, and not only that, more than one application, as well, so it can be a single source of truth information, which is what I really like about it. The initial setup is somewhat advanced. I used sort of other tools to set it up. I used WordPress, which installs and sets it up for me. The install and setup is relatively easy, but you can get more advanced when you're doing your own queries into the database itself. There're a lot of database applications out there, but I think MySQL is one of the highly rated ones. A lot of the larger organizations use it, because it's really reliable and secure and safe.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
