best features of Percona Server for MySQL is its scalability
Date: Feb 16 2024SummaryAnother feature that I appreciate about Percona Server for MySQL is its security. It comes with built-in data encryption and advanced security measures that ensure the safety of our sensitive data. This is particularly important for enterprises that deal with customer data and need to comply with strict data privacy regulations.
PositiveThe first thing that caught my attention was its high performance. Percona Server for MySQL is built on top of the open-source MySQL, but with added features and a better performance. I noticed a significant improvement in query execution time compared to other databases I have worked with. This has greatly enhanced the overall performance and speed of our backend processes.
NegativeOne of the best features of Percona Server for MySQL is its scalability. As a backend developer, I understand the importance of a database that can handle a growing amount of data without compromising on performance. With Percona, I was able to effortlessly scale up as our data grew, without any downtimes or performance issues. This has been a major advantage for our team, as we no longer have to worry about database limitations.

Best Application for any kind of help in MySQL
Date: Aug 23 2022SummaryOverall, everyone who works with SQL should give this a try; I promise you'll enjoy it.
The server provided round-the-clock assistance, was online, and I never had a downtime, so I'd say it was successful.PositiveAfter using their service for five months, I can say with certainty that it was well worth the effort. This server is excellent for any SQL queries. Although slightly more expensive than the competition, the cost is still fair and the server support is excellent. Additionally, its user interface is excellent.
NegativeSimilar to other MySQL database servers, Percona Server is not a well-liked option, making it occasionally challenging to persuade businesses to choose it rather than the alternatives.

Been using Percona for over a decade
Date: Aug 13 2021SummaryPercona 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.
PositiveI 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.
NegativeI 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.

MySQL isn't complete without Percona
Date: Aug 13 2021SummaryWell 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.
PositiveRequired 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.
NegativeNone that I can think of. Using Percona Server for MySQL makes it basically MySQL++.

My experience with Percona Server
Date: Aug 27 2021SummaryMy first experience with Percona was using the set of tools they offered for MySQL servers, after that good experience it was a no brainer to try the Percona Server. Its reliability has been unmatchable during all these years working as system administrator.

NegativePercona Server is not a popular choice like other MySQL database servers, and sometimes is difficult to convince companies to use it instead of the others.

Excellent product for Mysql administration
Updated: Aug 18 2021SummaryDespite being a free and open source software, it has helped us with the implementation of some business software that we previously used with proprietary software, which has helped us to save money, in addition, Percona Server can be fully implemented in the cloud, which has been very useful for the migration of some products.
PositiveInstallation and use are very easy, it is open source and I can know its development internally. The learning curve is short. Percona XtraDB cluster migrations become easy thanks to this software. It is equipped with security functions and can be used through the cloud.
We were able to achieve better performance with Percona Server, best of all, it is free.NegativeI could only add as a disadvantage, the need to expand the documentation, and the support for large-scale applications.
