Percona Server Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Database Administrator at Systems Limited4.0I'm conducting a POC to compare Percona Server with MySQL's community version. Percona is easy to use, scalable, and backed by a helpful community, but I wish it had flashback functionality and more accessible training resources.
Systems Engineer at a comms service provider with 51-200 employees3.5I find Percona Server's replication and High Availability valuable. It's free with high ROI and straightforward to set up. My main complaint is its failure to reclaim disk space after row deletions.
