Ideal, stable, good support and it helps with the developer console

I have used MongoDB, MySQL, and Oracle. MongoDB is entirely different. It's a NoSQL platform database, so it's totally different. It is a little bit hard to work with. The way it is organized and structured is different. But between Microsoft Azure MySQL and Oracle, they are pretty similar. * Cost: Microsoft is not a preferred platform. Their licensing is very complex and expensive. Oracle is much better. * AI: In terms of data analytics and AI, Microsoft is better. Certain complex transformations are easier to do in MSSQL. So, if you have to analyze data from a lot of different data sources, it becomes much easier. However, the usage of the particular product depends on the project. Personally, I would like to work on MySQL. But in certain cases where the application scale is very large, and custom models from certain regions of the globe prefer Microsoft, then we have to go with MSSQL. But technically, there is not much difference.

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

"It's easy to use."

"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to use and implement."

"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service handles data easily."

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

"The solution's performance is good."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"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 feature is the data aggregation function."

More Oracle MySQL Cloud Service pros

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

"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."

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

"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."

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

Cons

"The technical support is in need of improvement."

"The user interface is not simple."

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

"It requires a significant amount of expertise and effort to manage, especially when dealing with substantial volumes of data."

"The support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues."

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

"Sometimes, we face syntax issues with the solution."

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

More Oracle MySQL Cloud Service cons

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."

"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."

"It is an open-source product."

"The solution’s paid plans are expensive."

"The license is expensive."

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

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