Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and others in Relational Databases Tools."Optimization of databases, RAC, Data Guard Replication with Data Guard and RAC Database are the best features."
"It is easy to set up on their engineered systems."
"The command interface is very user-friendly. The required commands are not complicated and we are able to easily access the root system."
"The solution has an endless capacity."
"It's extremely easy to use and the performance is great."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its cloud and API features."
"I like that it's a robust product. It has very good features. One good feature is Oracle REX because, in SQL Server, we don't have that. SQL Server has something similar, but it's not the same stuff."
"Oracle Database is easy to use."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."
"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."
"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."
"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."
"If you want to scale, it will get even more expensive."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"Their support portal requires a person to become well-trained in how to use it. They are pretty good at handling absolute critical emergencies, but with the exception of absolute critical emergencies, getting problems solved from their support system is difficult and takes a long time."
"There are a lot of additional costs. That is the reason we are only leveraging for transactional related purposes, so that we do not spend so much on doing the same thing on Oracle. That is the reason we are looking for open source databases now."
"With the new version, we never came across any important limitations. There was nothing that needed improvement. However, in versions 9 and 10, we sometimes had problems, and big and complicated queries did not get through. In versions 11 and 12, I did not experience any problem. There could be some more information about load balancing and all these things. For me, it was just a part of the infrastructure maintained by other people. So, I cannot really say what they need."
"There are actually a lot more features for the Oracle Databases. It is almost impossible for a single person to know and give all the features."
"Sometimes, the patches supplied by Oracle to update the software do not work."
"If you just install a database, it's easy but if you install some other programs it can be a little bit longer and difficult to install."
"The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings."
"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."
"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."
