MariaDB is the backbone of services relied upon by businesses and people every day. 75% of the Fortune 500 run MariaDB.
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,
My overall experience with MariaDB has been very favorable. I like the clustering features a lot, and it's built in already, which is awesome since it saves me time.
The renumbering of versions (skipping from 5.5 to 10.0) has left some confusing documentation and version tracking problems.
MariaDB is an excellent, free and open source solution for data storage, with a strong tradition of quality and a high level of support.
Migration sometimes can be hard especially when you are upgrading the software.
The improved fork of an excellent solution, integrate with a lot of software.
Starting a cluster is annoying. It's not overly hard, but you have to remember the statements.
It is very popular and well-known. Better performance than MySQL.
MariaDB is no longer completely compatible with MySQL. Which makes migration a tedious process.
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.
Speaker 1: I'm Justin, a DevOps engineer, and I give MariaDB four out of five stars. For more reviews like these, please click the link below. Before MariaDB, we had MySQL. Like a lot of companies, we use MySQL because it worked, it was relatively easy to use and it was open source and then Oracle bought it out and we are very familiar with Oracle and wanted nothing to do with any Oracle backed product. We chose MariaDB because we wanted something that was like MySQL, sort of a drop-in replacement with a lot of the same features and better community stewardship. We did not want to have another open-source project that would get swallowed up by a company like Oracle. It was very, very simple getting started with MariaDB, essentially every library and program we had to work with MySQL also worked with MariaDB. So it was just applying the same MySQL knowledge we already had to a different context. If you're thinking about MariaDB, two things, the first thing is MariaDB and MySQL have diverged a little bit more since I know initially adopted it. They are having some compatibility issues and I expect that to get a little bit worse over time. So think carefully about whether your existing MySQL tooling will in fact work with MariaDB. It's no longer necessarily a drop-in replacement. The second thing is MariaDB just announced a new release cadence, essentially before, they would have an annual release that will be supported for about, I think, five years. Now, they're releasing new updates every quarter and they're each going to be supported for one year. So, if you like the idea of more frequent updates, then you'll love MarieDB's new cadence. If not, then you may wish to consider something that's roughly equivalent that has a longer support cycle like PostgreSQL.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
