Users report that MariaDB excels in data schema management with a score of 9.4, which reviewers mention makes it easier to handle complex database structures compared to XAMPP Server, which lacks a dedicated schema management feature.
Reviewers mention that MariaDB's query language capabilities are rated at 9.3, providing advanced features that enhance data manipulation, while users on G2 note that XAMPP Server's MySQL component, while functional, does not offer the same level of sophistication.
G2 users highlight MariaDB's strong security features, particularly its role-based authorization (9.4) and encryption (9.0), which reviewers say provide a more robust security framework than XAMPP Server, where security features are perceived as less comprehensive.
Users say that MariaDB's performance in terms of integrated cache (9.0) and query optimization (8.6) leads to faster data retrieval and processing, while reviewers mention that XAMPP Server's performance can lag, especially under heavy workloads.
Reviewers mention that MariaDB's auto recovery feature (8.8) is a significant advantage, ensuring data integrity during unexpected failures, whereas users on G2 report that XAMPP Server lacks a similar level of automated recovery options.
Users report that MariaDB's overall ease of use (8.9) is slightly lower than XAMPP Server's (9.2), but they also mention that the learning curve for MariaDB is worth it due to its advanced features, which can lead to better long-term database management.
