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."There is the need for a robust IDE for MongoDB. The existing PHP admin console doesn't meet the client's requirements effectively."
"A valuable feature is that we can use it for quite a few things, all the things you'd expect from a server—along the lines of Linux's Lightweight Directory."
"MariaDB can solve things better than MySQL. Maria DB has better performance than MySQL."
"It is very simple to install, and the commands are exactly the same as MySQL."
"I haven't faced any technical issues with the product, and it works fine."
"The most valuable feature is that it uses multiple cores, which is better than some of the other databases."
"Easy to use and available in most environments."
"MariaDB has a straightforward initial setup with easy-to-understand documentation."
"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."
"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 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."
"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."
"MariaDB could improve by adding support for non-relational structures and new data types."
"The performance could be a bit better."
"I’m not sure if it can scale."
"I would like to see more compatibility going forward. This would help if there is a need to change databases."
"The configuration could be improved. It should be easier."
"The PL/SQL performance is slow if you have big batch jobs running overnight."
"The stability could always continue to be improved upon."
"It does not have tools for debugging procedures and functions."
"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."
"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."
"Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial."
"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."
"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."
