It is very easy to handle multiple databases with work bench. I also use cloud version of it and the one hosted on cPanels for data hosting purposes. ----- ### "Akshi's Review On MySQL" — 4.0/5 > **Akshi** | *9 February 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The thing which I liked most about MySQL is that MySQL databases are relational and the data is stored in different tables instead of storing all at one place. It is an open source software and fast, reliable, secure and easy to use. It can handle large database easily and the performance is great. > > **Cons**: The cost and pricing plan to use MySQL is very high. It has 3 different plans starting from $2140 per year which I think is expensive. > > My overall experience with MySQL is great. It helps me in my day to day work and the best thing is that it is easy to use and can handle large amount of data easily. ----- ### "My sql review" — 5.0/5 > **Sayali** | *7 March 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Queries can be solved effectively in minimum amount. > > **Cons**: If want to use other language you need to shift to other dbms ----- ### "Best Integration with Excel" — 4.0/5 > **Harshit** | *9 March 2025* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best thing I like about it’s integration with Excel. > > **Cons**: It’s a little hard to understand for beginners. ----- ### "A thinking about MySQL" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *8 June 2024* | Program Development | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: MySQL is an extremely sophisticated and adaptable open-source relational database management system. It is simple to set up and operate, and it is extremely flexible, allowing customers to personalize the system to their individual requirements. MySQL is an excellent solution for businesses of all sizes due to its extensive range of features and capabilities. > > **Cons**: It can be troublesome to import big MySQL databases from one host to another. Remember that there may be website issues, process breakdowns during uploading or importing that require you to restart, or the import that does not fully transfer everything. I've figured out a way around this multiple times with only a massive dump. Other than that, it has gotten better with time, and as of the most recent version, I have to say that it is performing flawlessly. ----- Page: 1 / 85\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/11482/mysql?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/11482/mysql) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
