MariaDB Overview

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?

Community open source based I do think is the best part about MariaDB, so its able to support a lot of things like framework languages (Java, Python, C) and more which is regularly maintained and I do think that wide scope has significant advantages. On premise option against cloud services I also think is really good, and then enterprise version as well with things like higher security, storage engines, logging etc are very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

MariaDB is still primarily a relational DB, and I dont think there are huge advantages about that, but it was something that wasnt very strong of a positive for us. I did mention the open source community was a pretty good advantage, but I think compared to others like MySQL it is significantly behind a little in that facet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In terms of absolute problem solving, I would say scale and performance for speed, its faster than SQL for queries, and in our solution we were enabling things like real time payments and doing some logic that needed sub second latency so it was key for us to find a solution that was fairly good in that area which MariaDB solved for us.

Compatible with MySQL, which was a definite need; when we were doing a migration from SQL, it was also quite easy so we didnt suffer from downtime or performance issues which was key. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MariaDB?

IT HAS GOOD ARCHITECTURE AND FUNCTIONALITY, WHICH MAKE IT AN EFFICIENT USER. EVEN FOR THE NEW USER, IT DID NOT NEED ANY MEMORY POWER TO MAINTAIN THE FLOWLESS USE OF THE DATABASE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

SOMETIMES THE ERROR DOES NOT SHOW THE CORRECT LOCATION, SO IT BECOMES VERY HARD TO CAPTURE THE PROBLEM AND, EVEN WORSE, TO GET THE SOLUTION FOR A PARTICULAR DATA BASE, AND THE PROCESS BECOMES TIME CONSUMING. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

DATA CONNECTIVITY IS EASY AND GIVES PROPER STURCUTE WITH AUTO-GENERATED DATA STRUCTURE, SO IT HELPS ALL THE USERS FOR BETTER STRUCTURE CREATION AND PROPER FILTER APLICATOIN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MariaDB?

MariaDB was one of the first of similar relational databases to offer JSON support, and I find they continue to provide more robust features related to JSON usage. It's also nice that it's a drop-in replacement for MySQL which makes migration pretty easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

Since it has a smaller user base than MySQL, it might be harder to find tutorials or community examples for all use cases that you might be interested in experimenting with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We had wanted a solution that stores/validates json data, and provides flexible/robust schemas for querying it. MariaDB allows indexing json data which helps to improve the overall efficiency of your json-related queries Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MariaDB?

The official website offers a lot of add-ons and complements, as well as a great community. DB administrators can access various tools, while DB administration is simple, robust, and compatible. This product has become one of the most trusted in the industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

Maybe it's not convenient for a bit stream of data. Further, it performs relatively well in terms of clustering, and it is constantly updated with new features and functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The stability and prosperity of MariaDB made it an ideal choice for our organization. Performing ad-hoc analytics on large amounts of data is easier with it because it can be configured in a variety of ways. Data formats supported by MariaDB Platform include conventional, JSON, and hybrid, as well as statistical, composite, and interactional workloads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

perhaps an inbuild first-party GUI to interact with the database as it is mainly used by a web application that often has visual web pages. almost always I've used it with PHPMyAdmin so the first party would be much appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
