Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"You can use Citus Data to write complex scripts. I like its version upgrades and disaster recovery as well.""It's very straightforward to implement the solution. It took us two days to set up everything.""Its distributed processing capabilities are a standout feature. It requires minimal changes to get up and running if you already have a system on PostgreSQL. Citus can run in its natural state."

More Citus Data Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines.""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 product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown.""The product's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes.""The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed.""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."

Cons
"Citus Data needs to improve its stability. Do not consider this product if you have the budget. It is still developing and has a lot of issues.""There are many areas of improvement , especially in terms of DDL query routing. Even though it's masterless, DDL queries need to be sent to the coordinator node. Also, setting up a multi-node environment could be more straightforward.""More features in monitoring and the reporting could make it better."

More Citus Data Cons →

"There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great.""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.""Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial.""We don't get good discounts in Pakistan.""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."
