### "Great tool for working with applications"

December 23, 2019

5.0

Pros

We use mySQL to create databases for mobile applications. At first, we used SQL Server for this task, but that service is more suitable for working on the web. And mySQL has an extension of SQL-a, which allows me to solve much more complex tasks.

Cons

Each user is on their own. I do not have to wait for help from the support service. They answer there for a long time and not always on business. I have no complaints about the work of the service itself.

It was a pleasure working with it when developing PHP solutions. Provided good security features.

Pros

Easy to use and manage. Works great in an open source tech stack.

Cons

Could argue that it is not as mature. Open source could be a con as well as the development process is not great.

### "MySQL review"

May 1, 2019

4.0

Pros

What I like most about this software is how easy it makes to view data. As we use several SQL based software, we needed another software to make it easy to view data instead of going into each database.

Cons

My only complain with this software is it being open-sourced. The UI for open-sourced software generally irritates me, but it was a lot more tolerable with MySQL.

### "I like this database system is my first option when it comes to storing information."

May 28, 2018

5.0

facilitates the elaboration of dynamic web projects and storage of relevant data at any time of my work

Pros

My experience with this software has been excellent, it is dynamic, fast, easy to use, and very fluid when it comes to creating modify or eliminate information from a database. I use it in projects on a daily basis. It is a very good option for beginners and experts.

Cons

the interface is the only point to criticize this application should be a little more comfortable without affecting its excellent functioning, the rest has no break poin.

### "a great free sql server"

May 24, 2018

5.0

Pros

this is my go to SQL server when i'm creating a new project. It is probably the most commonly used SQL server on the market because it is easy to use, and works well. I've never had any problems installing or using MySQL.

Cons

The command line interface can be a bit hard to use at times. there are front end interfaces that give a GUI to MySQL such as PHP my admin which I like to use on top of MySQL.
