Easy to use and not so expensive

For first-time users, if you don't know much about the tool, I think you should go with a document-based DBMS tool. I had to use the tool because I learned about it in college. My advice to others is that they need to learn about the tool, nodes, and vertices and then purchase Neo4j Graph Database. It will be a little bit difficult for new users to know what is the meaning of a node, what vertices are, how to use it, or how an application can use it. The tool is easy for new users as it is an intuitive tool. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

A reasonably priced product that offers good speed and seamless support

Currently, I can't think of any areas that require improvement because SingleStore was recently launched in the market. The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings. The current SingleStore model provides output based on the RANK function. If a user searches for a liquor bottle, then with all the data the product has, it will search for the liquor bottle in the data, and based on a match, the product has an algorithm to rank the product because of which the paragraph that has the best match will be ranked as a 100, the next one as 99, following which the next product will be ranked as 98 and so on. The output from the solution will fetch you all the 100 products that are available in a store, but sometimes a user might require a product with a 97 or 98 percent match from the DB, meaning the product doesn't always work to provide a 100 percent match, an area I feel that can be optimized in the product. Currently, SingleStore's features are excellent as it can read documents, images, and everything. The product works seamlessly for me.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Creates the ability to visualize outputs."

"The solution's best feature is how it differs from traditional SQL databases. It's hard to map people and find those near me in SQL, which requires long, complex queries. Neo4j Graph Database makes this easier with simpler queries. It also supports more data types, like JSON, which SQL doesn't."

"For now, the tool doesn't break down or stop, so it is quite stable."

"Enables people to understand what the business problem is and how the technology helps."

"As a graph database, I am surprised at their performance and response time."

"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short."

"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."

"The product's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes."

"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."

"It's a distributed relational database, so it does not have a single server, it has multiple servers. Its architecture itself is fast because it has multiple nodes to distribute the workload and process large amounts of data."

"The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."

Cons

"The tool could improve by having more resources, especially for Golang, which we use. It lacks good basic libraries and doesn't have an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) tool, which many NoSQL databases have. We thought about building an ORM for the Neo4j Graph Database but are too busy."

"For me, when the tool was deployed on an on-premises model, it was a little bit difficult the first time."

"There are concerns about performance and whether the tool can necessarily scale to provide the solution."

"So far, we have not had any issues and are happy with the product in general."

"Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial."

"There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great."

"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally."

"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."

"The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings."

"It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks."

"For new customers, it's very tough to start. Their documentation isn't organized, and there's no online training available. SingleStore is working on it, but that's a major drawback."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is open source so that you can use it for free. They also offer an enterprise version with its billing. If your company is earning well, I suggest using the enterprise version. Otherwise, you can deploy it on your own cloud and pay based on usage."

"The tool is not expensive."

"I would advise users to try the free 128GB version."

"The price of the product is okay compared to the other available solutions in the market. SingleStore is a reasonably priced product, considering the functions it offers."

"SingleStore is a bit expensive."

"The product's licensing is not expensive. It is comparable."

"They have two main options: cloud installation and bare-metal installation, each with different pricing models."

"Using it for analytical purposes can be cost-effective in the long run, especially in terms of infrastructure."

SingleStore

Overview

Neo4j is the graph database solution allowing the analysis of complex relationships and patterns in data, leading to better decision-making and improved business processes. The graph database offers easy data integration from multiple sources, providing a more comprehensive view.

The most valuable aspect of a graph database is its performance and response time, as it does not use the join function and only has nodes and raw data. Overall, Neo4j, as a global first-ranking solution, has helped organizations become more efficient and effective in data analysis and decision-making processes.

SingleStore enables organizations to scale from one to one million customers, handling SQL, JSON, full text and vector workloads — all in one unified platform.
