I like that I can use all of the standard toolsets that work with MySQL, and they are interoperable which makes the life of an admin and user much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I find it confusing that some features only exist in MySQL vs MariaDB, as it makes the decision to use it difficult if you ever wish to migrate between the pieces of software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Great open source DB with plenty of documentation. We use MariaDB exclusively for all our web projects. It uses mainly standard SQL statements, is easy to install, configure, and is well supported in terms of security updates. The price is also great (ie, free!).

There isn't much although if I had to say one thing it would for a better GUI interface to view/edit/delete data. MySQLAdmin could use an interface update, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The commitment to open source model and th continued development of innovative features and integrations. The Galera synchronous cluster and Node.js MariaDB Connector are two recent ones that come to mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish they would finish the Aria DB engines features to make it on par with the InnoDB engine. I wish they would incorporate either the MyDumper or mysqlpump parallel backup tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Since MariaDB is a fork of MySQL, the database structure and indexes of MariaDB are the same as MySQL. This allows you to switch from MySQL to MariaDB without having to alter your applications since the data and data structures will not need to change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
To make sure MariaDB maintains drop-in compatibility, the MariaDB developers do a monthly merge of the MariaDB code with the MySQL code. Even with this, there are some differences between MariaDB and MySQL that could cause some minor compatibility issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have been using maradb for over 5 years it hosts various websites and mail servers that I run. I really like how reliable it is. It is also very easy to use. I have used a lot of databases and i feel that this one is by far the most reliable. Install it setup your schema and away it goes! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There really isn't much to not like, but if i had to be picky it would be connecting it to a mail server. If you are a newbie then you will really need to read into how to use the DB, although once you have done this once you won't forget it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best thing we talk about MariaDb is it has many several optimization techniques that tend to improve the performance, as it has better query performance.
It allows the parallel execution of commands resulting in multi processing and fast execution of the program.
It has an additional feature of thread pooling, a useful concept for the API.
MariaDb is compatible with almost every different platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The errors mesaages displayed in MariaDb are usually not very cleared.
So if bit description can be added than it will be more useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Open software readily available and easy to install. Quick setup and allows work to progress quickly and efficiently with minimal waiting/downtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Must be installed in a linux terminal. Lacks GUI interface as far as I'm aware to install in desktop linux environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
MariaDB is one of the best relational database in world with very high valued features like Performance Analysis, Multiple Programming Languages Supported and Data Replication. This features are the best thing s which I liked in this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This product is one of the best database server but it needs some improvisation also like Virtualization and Data Migration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that MariaDB is maintained by a community-based foundation as opposed to being owned by a larger corporation, especially one that maintains another major relational database system, Oracle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lacks some of the more "fancy" features of other, more established relational databases like MSSQL and Oracle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
