We performed a comparison between Oracle Database In-Memory and SingleStore based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Oracle, Firebird and others in Embedded Database."The solution's ROI is excellent."
"The on-premise version is stable. We have different teams and resources for the server side, for admin, and for development. We can easily take care of all the services and applications."
"We use the tool for real-time data transfer for risk management purposes. In a trading system, conversions happen fast. We use the product to handle fast transactions with low latency."
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are the fast caching and improved performance to the database"
"The application development is very user-friendly."
"We can integrate it with any data sources as well."
"Security is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is very fast."
"The product's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes."
"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."
"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 product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."
"The solution should move to the new way of writing software code with AI that is intelligent and learns."
"They should lower the price. My customers think that it's too expensive."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We use some partitions in In-Memory. We have a very large table and a low dose. It is very expensive in data to load all of them into In-Memory. It takes up more memory slots in the server, as well as a lot of RAM. We use last partitions on the table. We always need to create a script and make a schedule that can load a last partition in In-Memory. Oracle doesn't have features to do this automatically. I would like them to allow us to load last partitions, as well as other table partitions, in In-Memory. I think a good feature would do that automatically, letting you see a table, load a large partition, and monitor loading memory. It's quite a good feature."
"Oracle Database In-Memory appliance-based solutions can be restrictive for some applications, as they may require more flexibility in the database design to be tuned and sized to the customer's needs."
"Lacks sufficient integration with other tools."
"I would like Oracle Database In-Memory to include a data replication feature."
"They should improve the solution's scalability for large databases."
"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."
"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."
"There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great."
"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."
"The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings."
