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

"The product offers high scalability."

"The most valuable feature is that Database-In-Memory is more consistent and faster than traditional databases as it requires fewer CPUs to process instructions."

"Normally, every database server uses hard disks. In-Memory has a feature, apart from their database, which is very good. When we start our server, all your data needs loading memory. We can use that. It's a very good feature. I think they added this feature in 2019. We can mount memory in the partition, create partitions in there, and create table space from that spot to share. It's a really good feature. We use it a lot."

"The on-premise version is stable. We have different teams and resources for the server side, for admin, and for development. We can easily take care of all the services and applications."

"It accelerates query processing, which in turn speeds up operations and streamlines workflow, and ultimately enhancing productivity."

"The application development is very user-friendly."

"The solution is very fast."

"The scalability of the solution is very good. It's able to support large amounts of data."

More Oracle Database In-Memory pros

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

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

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

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

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

"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 paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."

Cons

"The solution is quite expensive."

"Technical support is below our expectations currently. It could be improved."

"I would like Oracle Database In-Memory to include a data replication feature."

"They should lower the price. My customers think that it's too expensive."

"It would be good if Oracle could reduce downtime when transferring from non-In-Memory to In-Memory."

"Lacks sufficient integration with other tools."

"Oracle should include column store or advanced query optimization so a database can be optimized by enabling analytic queries to run faster."

"The query optimization and backup features should be added."

More Oracle Database In-Memory cons

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

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

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

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

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

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

"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 platform's licensing cost needs improvement."

"It's quite costly and it comes with a fixed price."

"The pricing is pretty good so I rate it an eight out of ten."

"The solution's pricing is high."

"I rate the pricing a zero out of ten because Database In-Memory is too costly."

"Oracle Database In-Memory is expensive."

"There is a need to make a yearly payment towards the licensing costs, after which there is any to pay towards the support cost attached to the solution."

"The product is expensive."

More Oracle Database In-Memory pricing and cost advice

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

"SingleStore is a bit expensive."

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

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

"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."

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