User Testimonials
	FirebirdSQL	Weaviate
Likelihood to Recommend	When looking for low maintenance and a solution suited for all kinds of pc applications. It is great when you are looking to store physical files in folder locations and you can then reference the document in the database. It has an open-source community around it along with documentation for third-party drivers of the development environment. Incentivized Jane Carey Account Executive Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	Reliable RDMS for the SMB's and we found its performance is really fast. It allows us to store the physical files into the folder location and reference of the document in the database. Easy to take back-ups, and portable. Incentivized Muddassar Inayat IT Solutions Consultant Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	Clustering features require alot of attention. Remote access can be quite slow. Incentivized Pauline Harris Account Specialist Read full review	No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	Because it is free and usually zero maintenance. Just the issue of more difficult format updates in the future lower the rating a bit. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	Usability has improved by unifying the architecture. The only thing's missing out of the box is a simple GUI DB tool for viewing DB contents and maybe running some SQL queries. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	This is an open source project. It provides a fair amount of free documentation and I think forums somewhere... Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Implementation Rating	Even somebody just starting to use RDBMS himself should get it working quickly, at least if he's got a GUI tool and some SQL knowledge. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
