MariaDB Overview

What is MariaDB?

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?

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.

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.
