    "Amazing platform for drop-in replacement"

    Posted 2021-08-14

    Pros: It has a trial version and a free one that makes the product available for the mass as it is a great opportunity for everyone. Besides, in our system, we use Oracle MySQL and it shows amazing performance. Storage of data management is having incredible performance.

    Cons: The user interface, generally, I would like to have it more user-friendly that we were experiencing some difficulties when we were implementing first. The scale of documentation still lacks and comparing with other actors in the marketplace for the same segment.

    Overall: Generally, I would say it is an amazing product that is capable to satisfy greatly the needs of users, however, I want to highlight that there is still room for improvement.

    "Been using Percona for over a decade"

    Posted 2021-08-13

    Pros: I really enjoy the tools that are provided FREE with Percona. It makes backups, resource tuning, and performance analytics easy and saves me so much time. It's also very reliable and I've never had an issue, even in the event of a crash.

    Cons: I haven't revisited XtraDB Cluster, but it was a little cumbersome when I first started. But setting up a slave and falling back to it was pretty easy and straight forward.

    Overall: Percona Server for MSQL is the only DBMS I use for all my projects and clients. It's robust, reliable, and easy to set up and maintain.

    "MySQL isn't complete without Percona"

    Posted 2021-08-13

    Pros: Required enhancements to MySQL. Even without the improvements made to MySQL distribution, the tooling around backups, replication etc is worth using over the standard distribution alone.

    Cons: None that I can think of. Using Percona Server for MySQL makes it basically MySQL++.

    Overall: Well documented, high quality solution. I wouldn't think of using a stock MySQL distribution. To me MySQL means Percona MySQL. When I've needed it the Percona support engineers have been subject matter experts and quickly identified our problems and provided solutions.
