Efficiently manages extensive datasets with rapid connections and wide tool support

Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to manage and install. It does not require a DBA for management. The connections are very fast and it supports several thousand users simultaneously without any issues. New connections do not hang server operations. As soon as new releases are put out, they work as expected. Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is supported by every vendor and tool, including architectural, integration, and generation tools, offering wide protocol support. This makes Oracle MySQL Cloud Service a valuable solution.

Solution Architect at Wipro Limited

An excellent choice for diverse data processing needs with exceptional in-memory capabilities, robust failover mechanisms, easy scalability and high performance

Scalability is its key strength. Adding servers for scalability is a straightforward process involving simply incorporating a few additional servers and recycling the cluster triggers automatic repartitioning and redistribution of data. For instance, if the initial database creation involved a hundred servers and later, four more servers are added, specific commands can be executed to increase the partitions to one hundred twenty. The data is then efficiently redistributed across the expanded partitions without the need for manual data movement, ensuring a seamless and efficient scalability process. In my current organization, approximately three projects involve the usage of SingleStore, with a team size ranging from ten to twenty individuals.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable aspect of the product is data migration."

"MySQL is a centralized RDBMS in itself, and you don't have the overkill of having the full Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server. It's ideal, and it helps with the developer console. It has three versions for developers. It's a very good tool for open source."

"It is an established open-source database with a vast array of resources available, ensuring you can learn everything needed."

"The scalability of the database is absolutely guaranteed by the new features."

"MySQL is very stable and works beautifully with large amounts of data."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"MySQL is very stable and works beautifully with large amounts of data."

"The product is good for tuning."

More Oracle MySQL Cloud Service pros

"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."

"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short."

"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."

"The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."

Cons

"The technical support is in need of improvement."

"Improvement could be made in the workflow, particularly when it comes to making changes or implementing certain functions."

"The support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues."

"They could include more advanced features like clustering and replication in the Oracle databases."

"There could be more courses where the people could learn more easily how to use the tool."

"Sometimes MySQL does upgrades on the server. When we are still using the old server and when they integrate the upgrade, they don't carry along some of the old syntaxes. The versions don't sync."

"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service's scalability is an area of concern that can be better."

"The solution should offer memory management."

More Oracle MySQL Cloud Service cons

"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."

"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."

"Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial."

"It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is expensive."

"The product is expensive."

"Oracle has a better licensing model compared to its competitors."

"The product is free since it is an open-source tool."

"While the core solution itself is not exorbitant, the support services are associated with a significant maintenance fee, often ranging from twenty to thirty percent."

"The solution’s paid plans are expensive."

"It is an open-source product."

"They have two main options: cloud installation and bare-metal installation, each with different pricing models."

"I would advise users to try the free 128GB version."

"The product's licensing is not expensive. It is comparable."

"Using it for analytical purposes can be cost-effective in the long run, especially in terms of infrastructure."

"SingleStore is a bit expensive."
