What is MariaDB?

MariaDB frees companies from the costs, constraints and complexity of proprietary databases, enabling them to reinvest in what matters most – rapidly developing innovative, customer-facing applications. MariaDB uses pluggable, purpose-built storage engines to support workloads that previously required a variety of specialized databases. With complexity and constraints eliminated, enterprises can now depend on a single complete database for all their needs, whether on commodity hardware or their cloud of choice. Deployed in minutes for transactional or analytical use cases, MariaDB delivers unmatched operational agility without sacrificing key enterprise features including real ACID compliance and full SQL. Trusted by organizations such as Deutsche Bank, DBS Bank, Nasdaq, Red Hat, ServiceNow, Verizon and Walgreens – MariaDB meets the same core requirements as proprietary databases at a fraction of the cost. No wonder it’s the fastest growing open source database. Real business relies on MariaDB™.

What do you like best about MariaDB?

The best thing about the database manager is that it has the facilities and advantages of a paid one since it was derived from MySQL, but instead, this is a free option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

It barely has things I don't like, but if I had to decide, one would be having to uninstall MySQL and install MariaDB, but anyway, the migration is simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My team and I made a website at the University with this manager and also, later at work, due to budget, we decided to use MariaDB instead of other paid ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MariaDB?

We used MariaDB to make use of Galera clustering. We found the command prompt and logging to be better than that of MySQL. Also, new features usually come faster to MariaDB. Extremely stable to use in Production systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

Not much to dislike. There are a few caveats that need to be covered. It was intended to be a drop in replacement for MySQL but the project has deviated from MySQL since 5.5 release of MySQL. So care needs to be taken while migrating as issues are expected. It is still a smooth transition all and all if you are not using any legacy features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are using MariaDB as our SQL Database for our backend application. We are happy with the performance and the stability it provides to complete our business goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MariaDB:

It is the best option for MySQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Everything related to the storage and management of data for small web portals is very simple, including the use, export, and so on.
