"Speed!!"

4/5

What do you like best about MariaDB?

free, fast, easy deployment, and open source Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

There are disadvantages when storing huge amounts of data (blobs) in a single raw with a raw size limitation, but it's not designed to store files anyway and it's not the best practice to do so. If you know your way around file hosting services, or implement file level storage for files, you wouldn't practically come across these disadvantages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"MariaDB is good alternative to commercial RDBMS"

4/5

What do you like best about MariaDB?

It is an open-source RDBMS distributed under GPL license, which means it's free for non-commercial use. Оne can typically install it on several Linux/Unix distributions, but Windows is also possible. MariaDB uses a standard and popular querying language (SQL), supports various programming languages, and offers cluster technology for redundancy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

Lack of support which is the feature of all open-source projects, makes it challenging to use for a business environment critical for downtimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can use it when you need an inexpensive and rather powerful database engine in Linux environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"2021 - MariaDB in NOT MySQL -IT is SO much more!"

5/5

What do you like best about MariaDB?

Being a MySQL Fork once upon a time, and the fact the original developer of MYSQL runs MariaDB, it is compatible, familiar, and very easy to get up to speed, even scale. Its direction and focus on features is "for purpose". JSON ,GIS, ColumnStore... and more.. give it full hybrid OLAP/OLTP. 1.5 billion row tables on a single instance - with what would be considered "low" end VM! Fantastic! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

My only issue would not be a MariaDB fault -but rather that it is often mistaken and referred to as MySQL, unfairly skewing the numbers against MariaDB. Testament to just how compatible it had remained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MariaDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

Without MariaDB, bootstrapping our now maturing startup would never have been possible. Low cost with available staff skills. Rapidly having to scale Ingest and processing while keeping hardware to a minimum, impressively so. 1.5 billion row tables and no technical debt, with the dev team seeming to be 1 step ahead of our needs, delivering improvements and new features, but always comfortably familiar. I have nothing but absolute praise. Now to address the issues that it is not MySQL - it is SO much more! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent database."

5/5

What do you like best about MariaDB?

Moving up to MariaDB has made our exclusively assembled MRP framework more strong and further developed speed of access. There are additionally more choices for reduncy like Galera group which I plan to investigate sooner rather than later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

I still can't seem to find any motivations to detest MariaDB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very speedy database"

5/5

What do you like best about MariaDB?

Quick and stable. Viable with other information base frameworks. You can import and fare data set reinforcements from most SQL reinforcements. Viable with various types of workers. You can introduce it on most working frameworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

The movement of an exceptionally tried and solid framework like MySQL. Albeit outright similarity is ensured, and an enormous steady and incredible framework, we should survey whether today a perplexing framework merits passing to MariaDB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
