Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and others in Relational Databases Tools."The best feature of CockroachDB is the ability to keep the nodes in different locations."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its resiliency features and the geo-partitioning capabilities."
"The subset of SQL that my client is using is completely supported."
"The tool's most valuable feature is node syncing, which takes only 0.54 milliseconds."
"The availability and the easy to use feature is the most valuable. The documentation is also good."
"I use CockroachDB to test big data samples and to create the best structure for databases. We have four users and required 10 people for deployment and maintenance."
"CockroachDB is highly reliable."
"The product has valuable security features."
"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."
"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."
"The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."
"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."
"The product's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes."
"Cockroach does not support all types of protocols. I need to improve it myself to support a CouchDB on my network."
"The product must improve its disaster recovery features."
"We are looking for more features to support distributed high availability and geo-partitioning."
"The closer they can make CockroachDB to being completely compatible with Postgres, the better. It's almost compatible, but not completely. If it was, it would be nice to just be able to use Postgres libraries without any fiddling."
"The platform could be more extensible."
"The initial setup and pricing could be improved."
"I find the serverless offer a bit confusing."
"CockroachDB needs to improve store processes."
"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."
"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."
"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."
"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."
