We performed a comparison between MariaDB and SingleStore based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, PostgreSQL, MariaDB and others in Open Source Databases."Easy to use and available in most environments."
"We use MariaDB for identity provider services. Most of the things that we are doing are deployed in the container mode. All such solutions require a database, and MariaDB is easier to use for these kinds of deployments."
"The solution has PL/SQL compatibility."
"It's easy to set up."
"MariaDB is scalable."
"This solution is user-friendly."
"MariaDB can solve things better than MySQL. Maria DB has better performance than MySQL."
"Installation is straightforward."
"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."
"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 paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."
"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."
"The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."
"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."
"Could have more integration with user platforms."
"The solution can improve by having support for more integration. However, at this time it is working well for us."
"The PL/SQL performance is slow if you have big batch jobs running overnight."
"The price could be less expensive."
"The solution is not scalable."
"An improvement would be scaling it up to the levels of Oracle, especially when it comes to resilience, so that we can do higher transactions for two databases or power our operation."
"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."
"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."
"There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great."
"The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings."
"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally."
"Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial."
