February 4, 2021

Mostly managing specific datasets that require more than one users to be part of the same agenda.

Pros

Excellent data organisation options with amazing features that make the product very handy. Open source options are a plus.

Cons

Managing users and data can sometimes be difficult within that interface, but nevertheless I don't think it's a huge issue.

### "A great data manager and cloud data"

March 6, 2022

4.0

I really love the manage of the data with this software, it´s amazing

Pros

I really like the way that you can manage the data, this software provide us great tools to do it and another thing that i really like, but it don´t take part of the software, it´s the community and the support for this software.

Cons

I really don´t like the interface, because you need to read or watch some tutorials to understand where you can use the differents tools and for the people that it´s new with the database it´s really difficult to understand.

### "Databases Galore"

December 1, 2018

5.0

Pros

MySql is extremely stable and seems to work with all programming languages we've thrown at it via frameworks and plugins. There's so much you can do with it.

Cons

It's a bit heavier than some of the lighter database solutions but that's not too much of an issue considering we use it in a small production setting.

### "I learned a lot from MySQL"

August 14, 2022

5.0

Pros

Once you have defined the specific objectives, the available filters do a lot of the query work for you. The interface is easy to use and intuitive. MySQL is unmatched when it comes to JSON integration.

Cons

The overall load time is slow, compared to similar platforms. This is especially felt when doing replicates. Using an Inner Join keyword often leads to crashes and I am unsure why.

### "The best database management software"

June 30, 2018

5.0

Pros

We are using mysql for a long time, after we switched from a competitor we understood how fast it is. The new update version 8.0 makes it even harder to overtake by a competitor. Very solid, very reliable and very very fast

Cons

Being an open project and always updateing is a hassle to be every time secured and updated. But it is a great software.
