What do you like best about MariaDB?

Highest IQ in databases and one company

Amazing customers

Modern architecture and compelling vision

Global company dual headquarters Finland and Silicon Valley

Fun people, so international

Genuinely cares about the customer and their success. Customer satisfaction super high. Smart, talented team of experienced individuals that help carve the way for the next generation of DB development and it's customers. Multi-cultural environment. Creative. Dispersed workforce. Work from home. Incredible product and strong vision for innovation. Regular company meetings and share of information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

Very distributed teams, communication can be a challenge - Slack helps a lot

Poor management that will throw you under the bus in front of others.

The company is missing strategic & ethical leadership at the top, with a small closed door executive team. Employees feel disengaged, burnt out and not respected, with only the ones with non-marketable skills staying on for job security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MariaDB:

Plenty of opportunity to fix things and gain experience in a variety of areas. Leverages the reputation of MySQL as core product. Unfortunately, it is now outdated with limited scope for growth in today's market. Some good talent coming through misled by its new silicon valley presence, but they usually leave pretty fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use MariaDB to store some customers informations and reuse it for giving customers all services that they need. Work to promote open communications, and ensure employees aren't punished for two-way, honest and transparent feedback, and importantly that a "yes" culture isn't developed and potential problems or delays hidden.

What do you like best about MariaDB?

MariaDB is something new in the market and toward the starting, I didn't know about making the relocation, but rather it has been extremely simple to utilize and has demonstrated a great deal of solidness and speed, I extremely like it to be OpenSource with the product under the GPL permits. This decreases numerous costs which gives a point in support while picking it, I like that it has a huge network where there are dependably individuals willing to help in any issue, its design in the servers is very basic and with not very many assets can have the administration operational, I like that the facilitating suppliers have included it at no extra cost, which influences me to think of it like a ton when I'm going to execute a substance administrator or an electronic trade framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

In spite of the fact that the network has attempted to ensure 100% similarity with MySQL actually it isn't exactly evident when moving to MariaDB it is important to change a few information types that are not accessible. I didn't care for that it is important to uninstall MySQL on my advancement servers so as to introduce MariaDB. This product is fine for little and medium ventures yet it is constrained when you require a hearty database and with many long and visit inquiries so for huge activities it's anything but a decent alternative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MariaDB:

I trust that any organization that has any site or web applications should utilize this database since it is exceptionally quick and amazing to deal with huge information streams. I prescribe it to every one of my partners. In the meantime, it is exceptionally simple to incorporate to any site, and it is likewise simple to relocate from MySQL to MariaDB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Not at all like numerous other open source ventures Oracle acquired from the Sun procurement, Oracle does without a doubt still create MySQL and as far as anyone is concerned they have even contracted new able designers after the majority of the first engineers surrendered. The following real discharge MySQL 5.7 will have critical enhancement over MySQL 5.6. In any case, the summit log of 5.7 demonstrates that all donors are @oracle.com. Most submit messages reference issue numbers that are just in an inward tracker at Oracle and in this way not open for open dialog. There are no new submits in the most recent 3 months since Oracle appears to refresh the general population code archive just in huge clusters post-discharge. This does not strike as an improvement exertion that would profit by people in general input circle and the Linus law of "given enough eyes all bugs are shallow".

MariaDB then again is created completely in the open: all advancement choices can be evaluated and bantered on an open mailing rundown of in people in general bug tracker. Adding to MariaDB with patches is simple and fix stream is straightforward in the completely open and exceptional code archive. The Github measurements for MySQL 5.7 show 24 patrons while the proportional figure for MariaDB 10.1 is 44 givers. In any case, it isn't only an issue of code benefactors – in our experience, MariaDB appears to be increasingly dynamic likewise in documentation endeavors, conveyance bundling and other related things that are required in everyday database organization.

What do you dislike about MariaDB?

It is very difficult to discover what one dislikes about MariaDB, I suppose the reality is that it is not as scalable as the NoSQL counterparts. The scalability issues while the facts are in a larger range of TB. It is true for a centralized database and small to medium-sized configurations. Also, from time to time we have faced positive issues with information replication. Additionally, from time to time we face positive issues with data replication.

The update to MariaDB has made things much easier for me and for the students as well. Header, footer, etc. We use it as a database engine, which is found in all the famous Linux distributions for Drupal development, especially.

We use it for many other unique portions of the program. We use a MariaDB on our server to host a Data Warehouse. Additionally, many programs like Cloudera use MariaDB as a backend. Small applications from queries to ddbb This has allowed us to considerably reduce the amount of massive guide improvement that occurs by splitting HTML pages with common structures.
