Efficiently manages extensive datasets with rapid connections and wide tool support

Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to manage and install. It does not require a DBA for management. The connections are very fast and it supports several thousand users simultaneously without any issues. New connections do not hang server operations. As soon as new releases are put out, they work as expected. Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is supported by every vendor and tool, including architectural, integration, and generation tools, offering wide protocol support. This makes Oracle MySQL Cloud Service a valuable solution.

Solution Architect at Wipro Limited

An excellent choice for diverse data processing needs with exceptional in-memory capabilities, robust failover mechanisms, easy scalability and high performance

Scalability is its key strength. Adding servers for scalability is a straightforward process involving simply incorporating a few additional servers and recycling the cluster triggers automatic repartitioning and redistribution of data. For instance, if the initial database creation involved a hundred servers and later, four more servers are added, specific commands can be executed to increase the partitions to one hundred twenty. The data is then efficiently redistributed across the expanded partitions without the need for manual data movement, ensuring a seamless and efficient scalability process. In my current organization, approximately three projects involve the usage of SingleStore, with a team size ranging from ten to twenty individuals.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability of the solution is very good. I wouldn't have used it for the past seven years if I was not satisfied."

"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is flexible and is an open-source product."

"It is very easy to start working with the product."

"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service handles data easily."

"The solution's performance is good."

"The solution overall is very, very good. It's got good integration with other databases and adds new features often."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"The most valuable aspect of the product is data migration."

More Oracle MySQL Cloud Service pros

"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."

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

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

Cons

"Integrating business intelligence or NLP solutions would help us save time and would prevent us from having to take a deep dive. Data problems seem to multiply on the system when you interact with it. Automation would save a lot of man-hours."

"The technical support is in need of improvement."

"There might be minor improvements, however, I can’t identify any particular areas for improvement at the moment."

"They could include more advanced features like clustering and replication in the Oracle databases."

"MySQL should have some kind of native query browser. If it could come with a built-in connector."

"Improvement could be made in the workflow, particularly when it comes to making changes or implementing certain functions."

"Sometimes MySQL does upgrades on the server. When we are still using the old server and when they integrate the upgrade, they don't carry along some of the old syntaxes. The versions don't sync."

"There could be more courses where the people could learn more easily how to use the tool."

More Oracle MySQL Cloud Service cons

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."

"It is an open-source product."

"While the core solution itself is not exorbitant, the support services are associated with a significant maintenance fee, often ranging from twenty to thirty percent."

"The product is free since it is an open-source tool."

"The license is expensive."

"Oracle has a better licensing model compared to its competitors."

"The solution’s paid plans are expensive."

"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."

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

"SingleStore is a bit expensive."

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