"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."
"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."
"The product's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes."
"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 most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."
"It would be helpful if they made it easier to migrate from an existing on-premises solution to the cloud-based service."
"The solution could improve by adding a sandbox environment and more security."
"I would like to see improvements in the tool's automatic restart."

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