Overall Satisfaction with SingleStore (formerly MemSQL)

SingleStore is super easy to implement and use. You can deploy a cluster in a matter of clicks. The UI is very intuitive, and everything is easy to configure even for a new user. The look and feel are very similar to any relational DB workbench. The source configuration is very easy. Other than the good HCI, the query engine is very fast and responsive, computes huge datasets, and delivers results in seconds. Compared to MySQL, it is fast, robust, and has a good IDE. I would definitely recommend it.
  • Responsive and intuitive UI.
  • Query engine is very fast.
  • Very easy to deploy clusters and use the database.
  • Execution plan can be shown when the query is running so that the user might get information of their running queries and where to optimize them
  • Since it is fast, complex analytical querying can be done very quickly.
Both MySQL and SingleStore are relational databases but when comparing performance and stability, SingleStore is significantly better in handling large datasets and the UI is also much better than that of MySQL.

For making up heterogenous source connections, SingleStore is very helpful since it is very easy to configure data sources. Also, in the case of large datasets, the processing capabilities of SingleStore are much faster as compared to MySQL, both being relational databases.
