Performance Testing And A PM Expert at ADM
Performance tests have been streamlined for analysis while query tuning still needs improvement
The technical support or community support for MariaDB on CentOS is bad. There is a main problem with all the companies that sell this kind of tool and services. The first level of support is the first one you reach. When you begin to have a more difficult problem, there is no one available because sometimes you need to update the call and recall on it. This is not good because when we have some big problem on the database, we need to have a database administrator, not a person who reads instructions on the screen. It is always the same problem. My rating is two.

"You can always improve a product, and the area that is very sensitive in MariaDB on CentOS is the release and the backward compatibility."
"The AI capabilities are good, and the guardrails are also to the point, but there is still room for improvement in the AI part."
