"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.""It's a distributed relational database, so it does not have a single server, it has multiple servers.

Cons
"Technical support is below our expectations currently. It could be improved.""The pricing could be improved. It would ideal if it was more reasonable.""The solution should move to the new way of writing software code with AI that is intelligent and learns.""Lacks sufficient integration with other tools.""The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The product could be more economical.""The query optimization and backup features should be added.""Oracle should include column store or advanced query optimization so a database can be optimized by enabling analytic queries to run faster."

More Oracle Database In-Memory Cons →

"It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks.""There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great.""Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial.""We don't get good discounts in Pakistan.""Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally.""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.""The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings."
