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 scalability of the solution is very good. It's able to support large amounts of data."
"Normally, every database server uses hard disks. In-Memory has a feature, apart from their database, which is very good. When we start our server, all your data needs loading memory. We can use that. It's a very good feature. I think they added this feature in 2019. We can mount memory in the partition, create partitions in there, and create table space from that spot to share. It's a really good feature. We use it a lot."
"Security is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is very fast."
"The solution's ROI is excellent."
"Oracle Database In-Memory is a suite of features that improves performance for real-time analytics and mixed workloads."
"It efficiently handles low-code data and supports read-and-write operations for clustering."
"The application development is very user-friendly."
"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 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 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."
"They should improve the solution's scalability for large databases."
"Technical support is below our expectations currently. It could be improved."
"The pricing could be improved. It would ideal if it was more reasonable."
"Lacks sufficient integration with other tools."
"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."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"They should lower the price. My customers think that it's too expensive."
"The query optimization and backup features should be added."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally."
