Overall Satisfaction with MemSQL
My overall experience is outstanding. It has excellent performance, and the SingleStore DB (formerly MemSQL) installation is effortless. My expertise in implementing the solution was excellent. Unlimited database feature interface successful Has fast processing prioritize multiple operations Very successful product. It's friendly for MySQL user but faster, more and more. SingleStore DB (formerly MemSQL) has hybrid RowStore and ColumnStore solution to resolve different cases. I was trying to replace MySQL with an in-memory column store SingleStore DB (formerly MemSQL) resolved that issue.
- Data structuring.
- Data retrieval.
- GUI needs to be better.
- To scale out on the fly needs to be a little simpler.
- To scale on the fly. It required manual intervention.
- Have to write core MySQL functions in-app layer, adding more complexity.
- VoltDB is more transactional.
- Redis just a k-v as is Voldemort.
- Elasticsearch security is an issue. Plus more of reads than writes
- Aerospike great K-V that is great with writes and reads. But expensive. More expensive than SingleStore DB (formerly MemSQL).
- Firebird opensource, but scalability is an issue
- SingleStore DB (formerly MemSQL) at least supports ANSI-SQL. Between SingleStore DB (formerly MemSQL) and VoltDB, I would choose VoltDB, based on pricing.
