### "An excellent, full-featured database provider" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *2 October 2019* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The general ease of operation for:&#10;- Spinning up new databases&#10;- Scaling up&#10;- Scaling down&#10;- Migrating to a different region&#10;- Restoring backups&#10;Is really great. It's amazing how many features you get out of the box.&#10;The plans with redundancy are also cool because you get full access to the slave as a read-only replica, this means you can run heavy select queries without putting load on the main database.&#10;There is a very significant "it just works" factor to it, which is not something I would imagine myself saying about a database provider so easily.
> 
> **Cons**: They are not the cheapest&#10;Monitoring/alerting options were a bit lackluste, but this has improved recently.

### "It's great. Everything just works; setup was effortless; customer service is responsive and helpful." — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *18 October 2017* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The best thing are the no-downtime migrations and upgrades. The setup was quick and easy and since then no maintenance has been required. Customer service is great and pro-active. The dashboard works well.
> 
> **Cons**: As far as I can tell there's no way to set a separate billing email.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;It would be nice to also see in the dashboard what's taking up most memory and disk space and to be able to set up alerts, such as  if there are queries that take too long to execute.
