VP R&D, DevOps, and Products Information Technology and Services ### "Strong, robust and fast database engine" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 September 20, 2023 We are using SingleStore as our main database engine both for online transaction processing (OLTP) and for data warehousing. It has proved to be a robust database engine with great performance and many useful features. Pros Singlestore is a very strong relational database management system which produces very good results in terms of speed and robustness. It have many unique features that make it a good system for data consumption and processing. It is also API -compatible with MySQL dialect so you can use mysql-targeted tools to query data on SingleStore. Cons It's not the cheapest engine you could get but generally, in terms of cost-value ratio, I feel it's a good match. Also, backup on a self-hosted solution is not always easy to implement since it needs to backup large amounts of data.

Pros Single store basically is a mem-sql. Its comes with concept of shard key, partition and many more unique features that stand this out to any other relational databases. Its give a perfect SQL editor and faster query execution for sharding concept. Its store the data in either rows store or columns store based on the data set. The ease of exporting data from exiting My sql database and loading it into single store is very impressive it’s provided different kind of data loading concepts like data pipe like bloc file loading etc. Cons Some time the connection of the GUI database tools such as my sql workbench having some issues it’s required some additional configuration for it its a little headache for user.Dashboard part bit confusing its content lots pf details other then that its perfect performance wise and feather wise i can say.

AU Anonymous User Senior Software Engineer Information Technology and Services ### "A review of few features requested by SingleStore" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 April 26, 2022 Note: This review was incentivized by SingleStore. I was paid to test few features, such as: Kafka integration, Ingestion and migration features. I was requested to write an honest review here after few hours and a 1 hour seminar. Therefore I do not have any significant experience with the tool, and this is like a newcomer's first experience review. Pros I loved the simplicity in general. It was easy to use the guides, and to follow the documentations I encountered. In some cases I dug a bit deeper just to try to find some mistakes, but for example the password is not displayed if I request the system to echo back the Kafka connection details I set up. It could have been a security issue, but they were obviously aware of this and they made sure it is not possible. The specific things I liked is the ingestion speed is lightning fast. And to set up a Kafka linked table (real time message data in a table!) is as easy as it can possibly be. Cons The support. The chat is although quick and efficient, I had no issue to explain that I want a copy of the "Replicate" tool, to do similar actions that was shown on a video. The agent confirmed he understood correctly what I said, and that he needs to escalate this as I was a trial user. But of course given I was hired by them they will probably make an exception. But I was shocked that a week later I got a very generic reply and a link to an unrelated page. Like only the higher topic was understood, and all my request to have a copy of the Replicate tool was lost. I reported my disappointment towards SingleStore, and after all they are working on improving this mow. It is uncomfortable to leave this story here but necessary to understand I believe that with Support you can have hiccups and you might need to repeat yourself.

Pros The system has great performance It ensure ease of data migration It is very wasy to use It is cost effective Cons The company has a great product but they really need to work harder to break into the market in order to be recognize and be part of the market leaders.

DBA Telecommunications ### "SingleStore should be considered as a DB option" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 April 26, 2022 It is worth considering a POC if you are looking for a new DB to choose from. Pros Building pipelines, Concurrent data loading & large data processing at the nodes level (sharding). Analytics, fast data loading, nice SQL Editor.

Software Developer Telecommunications ### "SingleStore Data Performance" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 26, 2022 SingleStore is much useful for Real-Time data Analytic and Reporting feature and that is the key feature we looking towards Relational Database For local testing it is considerable that it consume too much memory consumption and that area is need to be improved to bring best out of it towards developer point of view. Pros It has faster query result in RDBMS platform along with high availability with the possibilities of loading data from different sources with real time data support. It has unique ingest capability to do parallel ingest of data from different sources with distributed and partition feature with M-S architecture. This standout SingleStore from others. Cons I believe it should have better User interface to support dynamic query creation along with that if it provide powerful Data virtualization options that would be nice.

Lead Data Engineer Information Technology and Services ### "Delivers more than expected!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 23, 2022 The overall experience is super awesome! I would highly recommend this product for all sorts of data processing and analytical needs. The business problem that I face on day to day basis is the need for processing tons of data in minimal time to optimize the overall ETL operations and make the data available for further analysis to carry out necessary business-critical decisions. Therefore, I always feel the need to use a product that is not only easy to configure and use but also super-efficient in handling huge data volumes. Since we are progressing towards a more dynamic environment, I think we should be able to make a more robust and adaptable system that would allow systematic or data changes easy to build and configure. Pros Easy to configure and use. And on top of it, is the efficiency in which the SingleStorm delivers the results and displays the output. Cons Using SingleStorm is super easy. I have not found any shortcomings in the platform yet. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Sujay K. Sr Manager, Data Engineering - Data & AI Computer & Network Security ### "Checked - One solution for Streaming Analytics on Big Data" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 December 27, 2019 Pros \- Super simple, we implemented the whole of our customer-facing streaming analytics data store in a 2-day hackathon - Natively integrates with AWS & other services (we are a multi-petabyte S3 shop with huge Kafka clusters) - Since most of it is SQL, anyone can hit the ground running in no-time, an ultra-low barrier to entry - We saw a sub-second response on a test case with 1000 concurrent heavy API calls (scanning billions of rows across many tables + window functions etc) along with applying RBAC functionalities on the fly - Incredibly fast out of the box, basic performance tuning will suffice 95% of use cases - Fantastic partners to work with, super helpful, we have access to their core engineering team, +100 on Customer engagement! Cons In my humble opinion, it solved a very unique hard problem for us elegantly (without having to compromise on any architectural or data principles). Problem of streaming analytics on high-velocity high volume data sets with sub-second API responses can be a handful. For me, this along with other use-cases they mention is their core strength. So anything beyond these capabilities is a "Nice to have" for me. Their roadmap covers most of what the community is asking - hot back-up's, better UI, modelling etc. Reasons for choosing SingleStore All the previous solutions we tried solved either one or few of the challenges in this use-case for us. Memsql covered almost all the focus areas without having to compromise on any architectural or data principles.

AQ Ahmad Q. Big Data Manager Government Administration ### "Best Distributed RDBMS Ever!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 October 18, 2019 So far MemSQL was able to handle all types of workloads we applied to it, executing blazing fast queries against tables with real-time data ingestion. Some of the features we use and are extremely helpful are json support and full-text search, which allowed us to ingest millions of documents every day and run sophisticated dashboards against them Pros 1\. Lightening speed queries 2. High speed, high throughput, real-time data ingestion and queries. Thanks to the pipelines 3. Scale out very easily with no limit 4. In-memory tables for high OLTP workloads, and on-disk columnar storage for OLAP workloads 5. Short learning curve. drop-in replacement to the famous MySQL DB 6. Full-text search 7. Free edition is available Cons I really can't think of much here. I advise MemSQL to accelerate adding features to the MemSQL studio Reasons for choosing SingleStore Achieved the highest performance, short learning path, familiar syntax, compatibility with almost all products in the market as it support MySQL wire protocol. Cost effective Excellent support team Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.
