"Recent MemSql Experience "
4/5
What do you like best about SingleStore?

The ease of installation and compatibility with all cloud providers is the best. Resilient components makes it easy for installing and maintaining as distributed components.DB replication feature is the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SingleStore?

Instances are hard wired to memsql instance ids, It would be easier if we have option to add new one's and delete existing ones easily. The process of node joins and node decommission can made be simpler making all the cloud operations easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Used it for a personal project "
4.5/5
What do you like best about SingleStore?

MemSQL durability is slightly different for its in-memory rowstore and an on-disk columnstor which makes it awesome and a cluster can be configured in "High Availability" mode. It is also one of the fastest databases for columnar storage and analytical workloads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SingleStore?

A little maybe better documentation would be helpful , espically for beginners. Also to play around for smaller machines like raspbeery pi and some fun projects to start with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rob Richardson of SingleStore

I’m so glad you’re enjoying the speed of ingesting Kafka data. Temp table performance is unexpected. Can you reach out to community@memsql.com so we can learn more about your scenario and help you achieve amazing results here too?

"Great for extreme data processing"
4/5
What do you like best about SingleStore?

For extremely large data mining, memsql stands above the rest. The ability to process an extreme amount of data expediently is by far the greatest part of memsql. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SingleStore?

Being on the Operations side of Memsql comes with it's challenges. There's a high learning curve for it, and at this time there isn't nearly as much out on the internet to help. Support is great, but being able to get in-the-moment answers is lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
