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 problems is MariaDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

Some of the open and incredible bugs affecting MySQL also affect MariaDB: when seeking help, the database engine you are addressing should sometimes not be used. Any database that required MySQL, we have been transferred to MariaDB. Mysqltuner is an exceptional program to help you adjust the settings. Mysys, sq., Myisam, etc. There is already a series of manuals about MariaDB that allow you to get up and go for a walk right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MariaDB?

Like most users of MariaDB, we started with MySQL. When we wanted to switch, we thought the process would be tedious, but it actually was pretty quick and effective, with no reconfiguration or reprogramming required. This was great because we hold a big a database and this could’ve been problematic. All the reads on MariaDB are really fast and it’s compatible with all the apps developed to MySQLDB, so we still get to use the best features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

A couple of times I have found cases of malformed data with no particular reason. Also, when erasing cache data it takes too much time for a process so simple. Also, I think it lacks of some features, such as one that allows user to compute median values for the whole database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MariaDB:

MariaDB is a great solution for companies looking for a solid RDBMS. It will give you a high range of management tools to add and perform effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

MariaDB is implemented in our company as a database server for several of the online services we provide. It is used by all the developers on the IT department and all of them, me included, agree it’s better than MySQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MariaDB?

For starters, what strikes me most about MariaDB is that it is open source. It is excellent that it has a large community of users that contribute to its development. On the other hand, it has GIS features which facilitates location data queries. In addition, it has excellent accessories such as Connect and Spider to improve storage. I can also highlight its simplicity to migrate, being a replacement for MySQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

I think this database manager is not as scalable as it is for example, MongoDB or Cassandra. I have had some problems with scalability, but that is a small database and centralized data. I have also had problems with the cluster, which stops due to inactivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MariaDB:

MariaDB promotes day by day development in their community. In addition, its code is available in all public repositories and all development phases are also available. It is flexible and usually has a good performance. I recommend it, for those old MySQL developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use MariaDB to store data that we collect in digital marketing. For us, it was very easy to migrate from MySQL to MariaDB. In addition, it is very modern and easy to access. On the other hand, it facilitates our works and projects by having much updated documentation online at our disposal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MariaDB?

MariaDB offers stability and is open source, which minimizes costs. The important thing is that it is supported on a large platform of users who frequently publish very useful solutions. As for its configuration, it is very basic and does not need a lot of computer resources. I like the modification in terms of the structure of the table in reference to MySQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

I think the debugging tool fails sometimes, because it does not analyze the missing indexes. I also found some flaws in the replication of the database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MariaDB:

MariaDB is a great project and is supported in a large community of users. It is fast and works perfectly with a large amount of data. Also security is guaranteed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I think MariaDB has given us security, because security patches are obtained frequently. Migration has never been so easy and usually has a good performance. Previously we used MySQL and the security versions were slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MariaDB?

MariaDB is a great solution for partitioning, as implementation feels solid and fluid. Something I really like is that it always stays updated, as new releases for security patches are launched monthly, keeping MariaDB always on top in security matters. MariaDB definitely has some advantages over MySQL. The one I highlight the most are the Alert Table queries, as in MariaDB you’re able to check the progress in a process list, so you can always keep a visual track in the advances. This can’t be done with MySQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

In order to run MariaDB properly, you must a have a decent hardware, otherwise, writes may be effected and you may experience some troubles. Also, the compatibility with MySQL isn’t always happening, as the newer versions of MySQL don’t integrate well with MariaDB. You have to make some internal work in order to make this integration possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MariaDB:

MariaDB is a great option for companies or personals wanting to work with open source software that demands active clusters. If you are a MySQL user, MariaDB integrates with MySQL so you can export your database from one to another. Adaption from one platform to another will be easy, as MySQL and MariaDB share similar interfaces, libraries, APIs and commands. However, consider you must have a great hardware in order to run MariaDB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

MariaDB is used by our company internally for many applications. The infrastructure team is in charge of using the database for setting up some management tools. This data helps when it comes to report to our customers, as well as keeping some metadata for analytical purposes. The integration with Galera gives this solution a great spot in availability.

What do you like best about MariaDB?

I like this software because it is a solid and secure database, at the same time it is an improved version of MySQL, it has really powerful search engines for when you have a lot of information in the databases. It is also widely used in the company for our web projects because of the ease of integration it has with servers such as apache Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

I do not like that this software does not bring all the functions are fully documented, the same happens in the case of MySQL. But it is a software like a lot of potential, which is used in large projects and is superior to its competence Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MariaDB:

I highly recommend this software, I really consider it a great software for many web projects, I always recommend it to my colleagues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I was able to solve the speed of response when consulting content from a database, since it used to take longer, and thanks to the fast search engines of Maria DB can be consulted in tables with large amounts of data without having to take time. Finally this software is helping us to develop various applications in the cloud, which without the help of this software were very slow and heavy applications when using. This software has been a great tool for the company Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
