Super fast for real-time big data analytics
What do you like best about the product?
Super fast in loading massive amounts of data automatically in such short period of time. The real time streaming feature can be used in many cases involving real time analytics. Easy to configure pipeline and to connect to front-end BI tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited sources from which data can be integrated. Takes lot of time deploying the cluster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Analyzing real time logs saved in cloud data storage services; real time analysis of data present in this storage layers
Excellent platform for the data storage.
What do you like best about the product?
The concept of the database was excellent to store a large amount of data in an online database provider. Highly recommended for new users or firms to adopt this platform
What do you dislike about the product?
The performance was not very good but still is better than other databases, when you deal with different other databases. So performance should be improved in the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When you deal with a large amount of data or big data, the databases mostly do not support such big data or cause low-performance issues, and sometimes for very big data, you need to store it on different servers so SingleStore is solving this problem.
Amazing solution
What do you like best about the product?
I liked the speed to upload data and the potential to load big volumes so it is solution that thinks out of box.
What do you dislike about the product?
The GUI is not so clear, sometimes is difficult to find some obvious thing like create a database
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have seen the potential to load big volumes of files so I am interesting to see how it works to query and aggregate big volumes as well with multiples joins.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I really recommend for companies that it is starting to think in big data world.
For large-scale, data-intensive, always-on, data problems, I don't think you can beat SingleStore.
What do you like best about the product?
It is a "Ferrari" of a database. The native pipeline / ingestion is ultra-fast. I have worked with Oracle RDB, MySQL, IBM DB2.0, and PostGRES; nothing comes close to SingleStore for throughput for data ingestion.
Writing vanilla / brute force queries also exceeded my expectations. With any distributed data you can ruin performance with cross-node joins, so with well planned partitioning and key design I expect performance would be lightning fast. That said, simplistic, brute-force query performance was very impressive highlighting the power of the SQL Engine.
The horizontal scaling / Cluster Management is very nice, by far the easiest cluster management I've experienced.

What do you dislike about the product?
I worry about the cost of intermittent work-loads. It seems like the cluster is always on, burning credits at full gas. So if work-loads are intermittent, the cost of idle time would be very high.
Like any database, you'll get the best performance if you play to it's strengths, so in order to achieve that peak performance, you need to understand the impact a distributed (clustered) databases will have on your data architecture and data design. Which is not too difficult, just a reminder to avoid putting square pegs in round holes.

If you are dealing with huge volume and need a highly available database with superb performance, pick SingleStore - It is excellent at what it does -- Ingestion throughput, overall speed of database, and the ease of horizontal scaling.
I am freelance solution architect so I wanted to experiment to have some first-hand knowledge of the platform.

Excellent experience with this product.
What do you like best about the product?
We can handle large dataset analysis. Singlestore provides us with the capability to do so at incredible speed. I can confidently say that organizations should move to SingleStore database. Also provides the facility for heterogeneous databases connectivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had some issues with configuration and docker that took too much time to create an environment, but customer support helped me through it. But it's really great after that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SingleStore’s unified database facilitates fast-paced analytics for organizations looking to embrace diverse data and accelerate their innovations. SingleStore is currently the only database in the industry that addresses both analytical and transactional workloads for the multi-cloud world.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
SingleStore should have some certifications like Microsoft Azure, IBM, etc so that developers can be able able to pass that and upgrade their profile also.
SingleStore is a great solution to help build data-intensive, cloud-based applications.
What do you like best about the product?
My experience was good. The concept of a super-fast, cloud-native ACID database is of course very attractive, and I think the implementation is adequate for the most part.
The innovations brought to the table with SingleStore's Codegen Architecture and Universal Storage. I experimented with the sample databases provided, and the queries were indeed very fast and responsive, even when I deliberately made then very awkard and convoluted. Setting up the AWS cluster was also very easy and straight-forward. The support team was also cordial and helpful.

What do you dislike about the product?
My main concern is with the documentation and user experience. The docs and articles are a bit outdated and the examples provided do not work as intended. For example, the process to set up a data pipeline described here (https://developers.singlestore.com/blog/how-to-load-100-billion-rows-of-data-ultrafast/?utm_source=upwork&utm_medium=psm&utm_campaign=7014x000002ltsdqak&utm_content=fastapps) does not work. Besides, many pages still refer to SingleStore as MemSQL.
I also found it a bit hard to locate the access point for SingleStore Studio.
Query errors could be more explicit. When I input an invalid query, the error message is some variant of (ERROR 1064 ER_PARSE_ERROR: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near), which is a bit cryptic and not very helpful.
If I could, I'd allow more SQL flavours to be used, as not everyone is familiar with MySQL's peculiarities. I also would open source as many key database developments as possible, to make new discoveries more accesible to the world.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The need for SingleStore DB system arises whenever you would need a way to quickly setup and manage a huge database (more than 1B rows). I think the product correctly combines the advantages of ACID guarantees with cloud-based scalability
I'd definetly consider using SingleStore if I had to build a data-intensive web application.
Running things on the cloud can be a little tricky and expenses can pile up if you're not careful. However, doing it correctly will get rid of a lot of headaches in SWE and make your product better for developers and consumers.

A high performance tool
What do you like best about the product?
The load performance! I have used other tools in my projects and the delay that was caused due to the data load had a huge impact on the data migration and the project itself.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some documentation (videos_ are not up to date, there are still references to the former tool MemSQL which may confuse, but this is compensated with the great customer service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data migrations in general, we can use this tool as the end solution or as a middle stage in the ETL. Since the data can be loaded fast, it helps us to find data issues quicker
SingleStore Advantage
What do you like best about the product?
"I think the success of SingleStore will align with the adoption of HTAP. The detailed processing of large volumes of data with real-time Analytics will magnify the benefits of SingleStore."
What do you dislike about the product?
SingleStore's success is based on the widespread adoption of HTAP, which does not have a large following at this time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Concurrent loading and analytics
Blazing fast SingleStore for data intensive work
What do you like best about the product?
Overall I had swift experience with the platform, starting from configuration to data ingestion, which was so straightforward with minimal efforts for the entire operation and that scaled up so fast.
The real-time process for the nodes was really helped in the estimation n required instances for computing the huge data
I believe the most amazing thing is it does not require high technical expertise to work with the SingleStore platform it does all complex tasks for us.
Based on past work experiences of investing in an intense amount of configuring the infrastructure for massive compute resources, would recommend the single store platform to sure give a shot in the future use cases.
SingleStore has a pay as you use. this is quite a great feature for the customers who need to perform data-intensive tas for one time or are required to process huge data, mostly preferred to utilize for peak hours.
The supporting team is Proactive, and that's so astonished when serving the customers.
in nutshell, the SingleStore is really great platform for any fast pace business requirements and awesome customer support.

What do you dislike about the product?
So far I don't have a dislikeable point, but one thing that can be improved upon on Data Visualization for estimation, computing cost, forecasting, etc.
Also Nice to have a BI product or integration in the same manner, simple, and created in a few clicks, imagine that real-time analytics for common business problems, etc
