Software Developer at CognitiveScale
Rapid deployment has simplified backend work and supports independent database management
We did not use the replication or inbuilt replication from Oracle Java DB. We have separate core functions to replicate the database and migrate the database. We are not using the inbuilt encryption of Oracle Java DB. We are using encryptions such as AES. We are currently using these to encrypt the sensitive data. We encrypt not only passwords but mostly all the data.

Senior Software Engineer at Honeywell
Real-time analytics has transformed daily decisions and delivers fast dashboards from streaming data
The best features SingleStore offers include fast data recovery and data compression by 80 percent. Having the information in sheets helps me to process the information quickly. Simplicity in T-SQL is another aspect I appreciate. Data recovery and sheet-based processing help my team on a day-to-day basis by enabling us to handle information efficiently. I would like to add that the data compression by 80 percent helps us in an excellent way since we are very fast in obtaining the data for our dashboards and the compression of the information is great. SingleStore has impacted my organization positively by enabling us to run low-latency analytics and model-driven use cases at scale, which is quite difficult for OLAP and OLTP databases alone. It has been very helpful because our internal clients are happy to have the data and make data-driven decisions easily. Making decisions based on data within a two-hour delay to the transactional database is excellent since we went from twenty-four hours to two hours. I think the best contribution is decision-making with data that is close to reality. Reducing that delay from twenty-four hours to two hours has significantly affected my team and business outcomes by increasing productivity. We have been able to serve all our customers, and they are very happy. We can deliver to them on time.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The stability is awesome because it is all supported by Oracle database and Oracle relational database management system, which watches very carefully all the processes that are running, making it very stable and very secure."
"The database is quite robust in terms of performance from the SQL side."
"Using this product will lead to a reduction in operational costs."
"The solution is stable."
"Running queries is the solution's most valuable feature."
"Our ROI has been a 600% growth in stock price, one of the biggest increase rates for any of the global top 50 companies."
"The valuable features include connecting to the database and retrieving data."
"There have been no issues in relation to stability. We've never really had do to any recoveries. It is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."
"MemSQL is a very powerful database."
"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."
"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."
"SingleStore has impacted my organization positively because the output and performance of the app have been improved."
"SingleStore's speed and scalability have made a significant difference for our team, as we scaled without major performance issues and reports, dashboards, and data segments that previously took much longer to generate are now produced in real time, which overall improves the user experience and helps teams access insights faster for operational and decision-making."
"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short."
 

Cons

"The tool might be integrated, but we see performance issues because of overhead."
"Oracle can improve by providing more connection string variations and relay servers on the path to the database."
"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using Oracle products is vendor lock-in."
"The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language."
"In terms of improvement, I'd like an automation tool that is lower priced. The core prices are very high."
"Needs improvement in consistency issues with respect to timeframes."
"It'll be better if Oracle Java supports open source technologies, like Node.js."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"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."
"If you are going for self-managed, you need to set up a solid backup pipeline with SingleStore support, which was my only dissatisfaction, but after doing what was needed, we have very good backup and restore pipelines running, and in Helios, everything is perfect."
"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."
"I have noticed that SingleStore can be improved because the integration of SingleStore with DataDog is not good."
"SingleStore can be improved in the aspect that the Azure pipelines do not have many parameterization features compared to others, for example, AWS."
"In my opinion, SingleStore could be improved, and we are talking about this directly with SingleStore."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is very friendly, with no extra costs after the licensing fees."
"Oracle Java DB is a pricey solution."
"The product's licensing is not expensive. It is comparable."
"They have two main options: cloud installation and bare-metal installation, each with different pricing models."
"SingleStore is a bit expensive."
"I would advise users to try the free 128GB version."
"Using it for analytical purposes can be cost-effective in the long run, especially in terms of infrastructure."
