MySQL
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is a great skill to have and once you get the hang of it is a very powerful tool. Combine mySQL with any programming language and you can do a lot of things. In today's day and age, everything is about information, and information has to be stored somewhere, that's where databases and mySQL come to great use.
What do you dislike about the product?
mySQL is pretty resource intensive, MariaDB is fork of mySQL and runs much better and is more powerful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to mySQL, all data was being stored very inefficiently utilizing text files, which were extremely resource intensive and extremely large files. Relational databases are a very powerful tool, which can be reassembled in many different ways without having to reorganize the original database tables. This saves a lot of time, and resources. By using mySQL we have cut down our resource utilization by over 80%, and have sped things up over 250%.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your not using mySQL already, then what are you waiting for? Get on it ASAP.

Industry standard for webdev
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is industry-standard for web-development. It is easy to install, set and manage database. It is in rapid developement and always implements new features in new realeases. MySQL is reliable and stable what more do you need?!
What do you dislike about the product?
As many others SQL DBs MySQL may be slow on really big datasets, sometimes master-slave replication works not so good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it on every our website as main DB.
Great and light DBMS
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is a light and easy to install on most of the operating systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
MySQL configurations are tricky. This happens when configuring MySQL for production purposes. Allowing access to the remote server and giving privileges to the existing users is quite challenging.
Also, the performance tuning parameters, especially with big data, require deep knowledge of the configurations trade-offs.

Research projects and non-big data problems.
Mysql review
What do you like best about the product?
Mysql is almost always a supported option for any database based application. Practically an industry standard.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing to dislike from a basic database perspective. Hardcore dB admins may have some issues, but it covers most standard application needs without problems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use mysql as a dB back end for custom mvc applications. It is simple to setup and backup. This allows us to turn up solutions quickly while not worrying about cost.
Easy and complete
What do you like best about the product?
It is really easy. You have a lot of tools to manage it: Toad, Mysql Workbench. It is robust.
What do you dislike about the product?
You cannot define unique index on nullable fields. And it goes on growing more and more, and it can be explosive if you have big tables
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Each problem that needs table can be sorted with mysql. But the size of tables should be less than 10 milions of records.
Review of MySQL
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is very easy to learn, especially for a beginner.
What do you dislike about the product?
I believe that MySQL is difficult to scale for large database.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my view, MySQL is very suitable for a small website or for a blog.
MySQL is a really scalable structured database available for free
What do you like best about the product?
Its open source and available for free. There are lot of communities for MySQL and if you are stuck with anything you will get help from everywhere
What do you dislike about the product?
There is almost nothing that I dislike about MySQL. It really does what it is supposed to be doing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I wanted to create secondary indexes for my logs which I'm storing and MySQL was a good choice for me to store secondary indexes.
Great database for any web based development!!!
What do you like best about the product?
I have been a web developer for years now and using MySQL has been a breeze. I originally used Microsoft SQL Server but I love how easy it is to setup a MySQL database. Also, it comes bundled with Wordpress which means that I have a strong database structure right out of the gate. Every command I have thrown against it works great and the support and community are always available to help.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really don't have anything I dislike about MySQL. In my usage (web development and open source development) everything I have thrown at it works without an issue.
The caveat to this is the configuration file can be difficult to setup. If you don't know what you are doing you can corrupt your whole database. The best practice to resolve this is to always make a copy of that file and then change the copy.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since I use Wordpress mainly I use MySQL every day. I have been able to run some very complex queries when needed at it. Also, Wordpress integrates and builds the database for you. Another nice feature is being able to customize and extend the database to fit your specific needs
I have also used MySQL with custom built web applications and it handles that without a problem.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are building web-based applications in PHP, Python, or JAVA and you need to get started quick MySQL is the way to go.
best open source database
What do you like best about the product?
The sheer volume of knowledge surrounding MySQL makes it a no-brainer for using in any enterprise project: if you run into a problem you're almost guaranteed to find a solution online from someone who has experienced it before you.
What do you dislike about the product?
Other RDBMS seem to get better and earlier support for new technologies, such as JSON datatype.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OLAP and OLTP. MySQL is an extremely reliable and performant RDBMS.
My experience with MySQL
What do you like best about the product?
I have never used a different database program, this is my first and I'm still learning.
I love how simple MySQL statements can be - select, use, etc.
You can start very basic and get more in depth, and it's not *simple* to learn but it's intuitive enough.
I like the organization and all the reports you can run/all the information you can view about tables.

What do you dislike about the product?
I did not like getting started. When I first started with MySQL it was one of the first times I had ever touched Terminal, and I had no idea what I was doing. When I was asked to type into terminal the /path/to/mysql, I actually typed in /path/to/mysql
Other than that, there's not a whole lot that I actually dislike!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're hosting customer databases in MySQL, and making sure all their tables are clean, repaired, and optimized.
We had issues with MySQL 5.6 sometimes stopping on I believe Yosemite, and other issues with PID file as well as with 5.7, but now that I'm aware of these issues it has become a lot easier to direct customers towards a solution.
We host everything on MySQL so having only one platform to work with is great.

I really can't say a whole lot, but if I could familiarize myself with MySQL, I'm sure many others could as well.
