### "Great DB App for the $"

April 17, 2019

5.0

Pros

Price is right and it is as fully featured as that other SQL database application everyone knows. Works with many popular applications like Wordpress for example. Lots of tutorials and information available online.

Cons

Takes a lot of work and research to learn it on your own. Pays off once you do though. Support not really there for free versions.

### "Great option for db administration"

October 8, 2019

4.0

It is a reliable database system for use with not very high demanding applications or for learning purposes, free options and tons of documentation.

Pros

This is a software with a lot of history and thus has great documentation and support all around, it is open source and free, which serves a lot for learning and getting familiar with working with a database.

Cons

It is not very powerful, if you are looking for a high performance database you will have a hard time when your data sizes become very large

### "MSQLI"

December 11, 2020

4.0

Overall it's a very good system that allows us to store the data that we want but it's look n ease of use can be improved n it can be made better. N it's upp to us programmer to keep upgradding our software, just like how our cars and bikes get updated with new features

Pros

This software is really nice system that allows us to store data in the form of table. We can access the data as n when we want that's alao very very nice

Cons

It's looks a bit old fashioned, dey should try n use good images etc. It's not so user friendly like, we need to seach things n den try dem n see what is happening. Meaning we should get all option in front of use clearly like whether to delete or modify or change name of a row or type of Columbia like text, or number etc

### "A great software for database "

December 22, 2021

4.0

My experience was really good, MySQL is really good to make a lot of projects.

Pros

The main thing that i really liked about MySQL it´s that you can intall it and configurate in a easy way, i think it could be a great point and another can be the many tools or funcionalities to manage a database for example.

Cons

The worst thing with this software is that you need to learn with other person how to use it and how to create and use the differents tools and funcionalities, i think the main problem it´s the graphic interface, for the new users can be confused.

Data Storage / Analysis

Pros

I liked the reliability and extensive documentation for this software. MySQL has been an industry standard database solution for quite a while now and the developer documentation and user support online is very helpful because of this.

Cons

I disliked the learning curve the most about using MySQL. Although, there are lots of resources to help learn how to use MySQL and helping non technical people interface with this software.
