Overall Satisfaction with SingleStore (formerly MemSQL)

We worked with MySQL and needed a faster solution that it will be easy to integrate with.
Right now, MemSQL is our main DB and serve all of our customers.
We are transferring data with MemSQL pipelines.
In addition we are collaborating multi DBs into clusters. It is very comfortable instead of MySQL
  • Query time
  • Very easy to MySQL customers to work with
  • Easy to transfer data from other data sources
  • IN operator at where clause
  • Multi key index at columnstore
  • Enable to run cross clusters query
  • Great customer support
  • Great product
  • Releases helpful features
MemSQL is based on MySQL and our code is based mySQL. It was easy to adjust our queries to work with MemSQL.
In addition, it more suitable to our customers with their data.
Hadoop integration was more complicated and we needed to implement it and we didn't to waste a lot of time on integration and continue to develops features that requires stronger DB
It helps us our DBA team. It allows them to bring better service to developers.
In addition, it saves them time and as a developer, I am receiving responses from them in faster than we worked only with MySQL.
And I can see that DBA answers to developers contain (most of the time) great solutions
If I will be honest, I am not familiar with MemSQL hardware but most of our features approved by our DBA team. Which means that memSQL provides an easily scalable DB.
