Great drop in MySQL replacement

  • December 01, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
When you need a quick relational DB, open source MariaDB is there for you.
What do you dislike about the product?
Fewer cloud providers offer this as an engine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Relational databases are enablers of many different kinds of business applications. By switching to MariaDB over MySQL, we got out from under Oracle's grasp without changing any application logic.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should first choose an engine supported by your cloud provider of choice. If MariaDB is not an option, choose MySQL, but for any local development go ahead and install MariaDB.

Why MariaDB

  • November 13, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
MariaDB has inherited one of the features of MySQL I liked most: speed. I have tested both MariaDB and PostgreSQL and I have always found MariaDB to be faster. Besides it it has a very complete featureset for a relational database.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even with the pass of time and even the fork that sprang MariaDB from MySQL, I have not witnessed substancial advancements in the replication scheme of this database.
Concurrent operations might cause trouble in MariaDB, because at this time, concurrency it is not well handled by this RDBMS.
Full Text search might be another area where you can find MariaDB short suport.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our website is a data driven web site, since most of it contents are loaded through templates and data that is read dinamically from a MariaDB databases. That let us make changes to the content of the website very fast and above all, the person in charge of doing this changes is not required to be a web developer. We also use MariaDB for other internal web apps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
MariaDB is definitely one of the best options you have when developing web application, due to its simplicity and speed. However, there are another issues that have to be considered, specially if the web site has a lot of traffic, like concurrency, because in this area MariaDB is still not performing very well and you might get a bottleneck in your apps.

A great alternative to MySQL!

  • October 30, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
MariaDB has feature congruency everywhere that it matters. If MySQL can do it, MariaDB can very likely do it the same way. Performance is better than MySQL almost across the board. Updates come frequently.
What do you dislike about the product?
Usually, you can follow MySQL-based tutorials, but occasionally they will contain instructions that are different if you're using MariaDB so you must keep that in mind whenever performing DB operations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're hosting website databases on MariaDB instead of MySQL and have experienced lower resource usage and better performance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's easy to drop in MariaDB as a replacement for MySQL, so give it a try!

Solid open source database option!

  • October 26, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Surprisingly stable and scalable for an open source database. The price tag for it is a NULL value as well :)
What do you dislike about the product?
Unlike it's MySQL counterpart, you can't get an enterprise support contract for it from Oracle. That said, depending on your past experiences with Oracle, that might be a positive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've built several data warehouses with MariaDB, some of them fairly large.
