Overall Satisfaction with SingleStore (formerly MemSQL)
We use SingleStore's managed solution as a data warehouse for the analytical analysis of quality metrics. We ingest data from Kafka and build reports on top of the data to inform our customers about various scenarios. We use hosted business intelligence tools to analyze data and answer both specific as well as open-ended questions that our customers may have.
- Ingesting data from kafka at very high rates.
- Easy to understand performance characteristics.
- Hosted solution is bulletproof and always up.
- Programming languages for ingest logic.
- Ability to run in our own cloud accounts to save transit costs.
- Time to market was much faster using a hosted solution.
- Hosted solution reduces operations costs.
- Performance characteristics of small instances is great.
We evaluated SingleStore against MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Druid. We have also quickly looked at ClickHouse and Pinot. We found SingleStore was a polished installation and operation was a breeze. That, coupled with the great performance, led us to select SingleStore very quickly in our evaluation.
We don't do predictive analytics.
The performance of SingleStore enables us to hit our SLAs for our customers in terms of reporting performance. Our old reporting platform would take minutes to return large reports whereas SingleStore can complete the reports in a matter of seconds.
