The first and best part is that is on an Open Source platform, it offers a very good performance and is inexpensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It doesn't handle well security, and is not scalable for big companies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
MariaDB claims that it is faster than MySQL, and i have tested it personally that mariaDB is faster too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
MariaDB has little less technical support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Development of MariaDB is more open and Vibrant as compared to MySQL and the simple reason is that MariaDB is open source while MySQL is owned by Oracle. Even the GitHub stats show that the number of contributors for MariaDB is way more than MySQL. The storage engines options are better in MariaDB since it excels in the number of storage engines and other plug-ins, most of the popular engines such as Connect, spider are part of the official releases where as in MySQL they are supported via Third party. MariaDB is compatible and easy to migrate i.e. it can easily get compatible to MySQL files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
MariaDB should come up with better troubleshooting options e.g. GUI like SSMS for the SQL server. MariaDB is compatible with MySQL till 5.5 but it still lacks some of the features which were released with MySQL 5.6. It should work more on Fixing the replication issues.

It supports all of the features we need out of a relational database, and it is faster than MySQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It does not natively support storing and querying JSON, instead we have to build logic into our application to work with JSON. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its simple to install and use obviously you need to have the right business case to use this. Do not put your mission critical systems on it. If the transactions are light then this can be a great open source technology. But dont put anything on it that you cant afford to rebuild or loose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is still a lack of commercial support. it has lot of catching up to do with commercial options Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not all OS's support MariaDB. There are better DB's out there Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

FREE. No kidding, a database server this awesome and free pretty much sums it up. Needless to say the stability of MariaDB is phenomenal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's very hard to find what to dislike about MariaDB, i guess just the fact that it's not as scaleable like the NoSQL counterparts? But then again i understand why it cant be so there's that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
