"The solution has PL/SQL compatibility."
"The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."
"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."
"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short."
"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's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes."
"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."
"The solution is not scalable."
"I’m not sure if it can scale."
"The customer service and support are okay. But the response time is slow. Moreover, the material is not available freely."
"It should work across all fields like SQLite, as it is the basis of any application, even apps for phones and the like."
"I am editing."
"The interface should be more user-friendly. It should be able to connect directly to the database and Interact with it without having to use commands. It needs better integration."
"With respect to clustering and the master-slave configuration, sometimes the slave goes out of synch."
"One feedback I can quickly provide is the need for a robust IDE for MongoDB. The existing PHP admin console doesn't meet the client's requirements effectively."
"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."
"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."
"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."
"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally."
"The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings."
