Likelihood to Recommend	Nitrosphere If you have an analytics-supporting SQL Server instance on a VM or bare metal, this is for you. Any large queries will get a massive speed-up.

Pros	Nitrosphere No answers on this topic	IgniteTech ScaleArc does provide high availability and during failover it takes care of the master slave lag as well seamless switch between master and slave. ScaleArc also helps to reduce application traffic on MySQL database server by filtering frequently used commands like AUTOCOMMIT. ScaleArc provides a single interface for all application and database user management. This helps in strengthening security aspects of user management.

Cons	Nitrosphere No answers on this topic	IgniteTech The fact that the analytics is included in the product; it really is hard to recommend this. However; I would recommend the analytics be a little more easier to use and more intuitive for drilling down to the source of the problem.

Alternatives Considered	Nitrosphere No answers on this topic	IgniteTech Outside of Microsoft SQL Server 2016 introducing the ability to route reads across the entire availability group; there is no other solution on the market that even comes close, and that's even if they exist.
