### "Análisis FODA del motor de base de datos MySQL"

January 31, 2022

5.0

Es una gran herramienta que nos permite a los desarrolladores un inicio rápido, en la etapa de modelado de una base de datos, acelerando así el inicio de los proyectos de desarrollo. Además, es una gran herramienta para la administración de bases de datos pequeñas a medianas, pero que no es la mejor para bases de datos muy grandes.

Pros

1- Lo sencillo de su interfaz de usuario. 2- El bajo costo de la herramienta versus sus grandes capacidades para administrar el almacenamiento de la información en base de datos.

Cons

1- La baja velocidad de acceso a los datos, cuando se consultan tablas que tienen varios millones de registros. 2- Su falta de compatibilidad con versiones anteriores, esto cuando se actualiza a una nueva versión de dicho producto.

### "Great for Accessing Enterprise Data"

March 11, 2022

5.0

Pros

MySQL has been great for querying data from my company's enterprise data warehouse and makes it simple to run powerful queries.

Cons

This tool isn't as easy to use as Hyperion when you are not familiar with SQL, but with that knowledge this allows you to query much more granular data.

### "Great DB with some caveats"

August 31, 2020

4.0

Overall MySQL is a great DB and they should continue to improve it.

Pros

It's great that MySQL still provides the community version of DB along with all the Connectors which it has to offer. I also love the Data Masking which it provides as it greatly helps in hiding sensitive data.

Cons

Even though I like MySQL but it seriously falls behind when it comes to choosing of storage engine. It would be great if MySQL can add the SphinxSE engine as it will really help in communicating with Sphinx.

June 19, 2018

5.0

Allowed for us to database our website and make it more functional.

Pros

Excellent database software. We have used MysQL for years and it has served us well. We can not thank MySQL enough for allowing us to grow our company.

Cons

MySQL doesn't allow for some queries that Oracle will allow for. There are work around's when running into these issues so definitely not a deal breaker.

### "MySQL - Great DB"

September 19, 2018

5.0

I would highly recommend that anyone, who is starting a new project, take a look at MySQL as an option for your DB. You won't regret it.

Pros

Very easy to use as a novice user and yet for a power user you get great features and the ability to leverage so many of those.

Cons

Install can be a bit harder than SQL Server for example. You need to take your time and really wrap your head around that.

### "Database management for everyone."

February 2, 2019

4.0

MySQL will solve your problems when you need to make or manage databases, it is free so no complaints over there.

Pros

In my eyes MySQL always have been straight forward to use, I do have a computer technology background so it's not for everyone. But if you need it and you know you need it you'll probably be able to work with it.

Cons

There is a learning curve if you want to use MySQL, ofcourse you have to be able to write SQL-code if you really want to be good at working with databases and MySQL.

### "One of the best databases"

April 30, 2019

5.0

Pros

Unlike other similar programs, MySQL is much easier to use. I like the new functionality added in every new version. There is a useful backup feature.

Cons

When creating queries to large databases, it starts to work slowly, consuming a significantly larger amount of memory and loading the PC processor more heavily.

Pros

I started my databases journey with mysql, it was very easy to learn considering the huge amount of tutorials you find online.

You can't scale a mysql database, the more size it has the slower performance you get that pushes me to use mysql only for small/medium projects.

### "MySQL: The best RDBMS"

June 30, 2022

The overall experience is great as it solves many common problems related to RDMBS.

Pros

MySQL is a great software full of useful features. We can easily make relational database, add tables to it, populate them with data. We can also write queries to fetch, add, modify, delete data in any of the tables in our database.

Cons

It doesn't support large databases. Sometimes the connection is lost to the MySQL server.
