SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 15, 2025 – Industry-leading distributed SQL database TiDB earned lofty recognitions in G2’s Spring 2025 Spring Grid reports, riding a wave of positive customer sentiment to place in the leader’s quadrant of the DBMS G2 Grid and the high-performers quadrant in the Relational DBMS G2 Grid.
G2 based its Spring 2025 Grid placements on “the democratic voice of real software users” as expressed in G2 customer reviews, and measured by algorithmic evaluation of customer satisfaction and market presence.
Reviewers praised TiDB’s ability to scale, ease of setup, ease of use and quality of support, citing backup and recovery, data migration and data replication as standout features.
Among the comments in G2 reviews:
- “TiDB solves the issue of MySQL’s large single instances being unable to scale up.”
- “It’s super easy to migrate from MySQL, and I love the ability to scale horizontally when needed. The built-in high availability and real-time analytics are huge benefits too.”
- “It smoothly addressed the challenges of large data volumes and heavy queries, notably reducing the query time and improving overall efficiency.”
- “As a DBA with a foundation in MySQL, moving to TiDB requires almost no learning cost and is very user-friendly.”
