We performed a comparison between Oracle Database and SingleStore based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and others in Relational Databases Tools."It is flexible, scalable, and a true Enterprise RDBMS."
"It's very stable and highly available. I also like the row-level locking feature. It can manage billions of rows of data."
"I like the query part and the optimization of the query to get the data. I also like its speedy recovery and stability. In the security part, the loss of data is minimal for any crashes that could happen. First of all, it might not occur, or if it happens, the recovery of the data is smoother than others."
"Performance is the best key value. Oracle provides Exadata, the engineered system designed for Oracle Database, where you can achieve maximum performance."
"The solution is scalable."
"I've never faced any stability issues with the product. I don't recall any bugs, glitches, or crashes. I'd say it's fairly stable and shouldn't cause anyone issues in that regard."
"The interface of Oracle Database is very workable and easy to use."
"The ease of use has been great."
"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."
"The product's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes."
"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 ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."
"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short."
"When it comes to Oracle, the only complaint that I have is their support. For business-critical cases, finding support is a little bit difficult because of the timezone difference. They should provide faster support to resolve issues on time."
"The monitoring system is not very user friendly and could include a graphic interface."
"Oracle could improve by providing better integration with other solutions, such as Angular platforms."
"The initial setup could be easier."
"The pricing is the one sticking point for the solution because it is very expensive."
"I believe that the simplicity of installation and configuration for logging in to Microsoft and PostgreSQL could be improved."
"The documentation needs improvement because as it is now, providing support is a headache."
"We believe that the usability could be improved, especially within the data lakehouse. We found content management to be a little bit more simpler within the GUI part."
"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally."
"It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks."
"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."
"Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial."
"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."
"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."
