Best of the both world
What do you like best about the product?
MemSQL has both row and columnar based storage and seamlessly able to query across both
What do you dislike about the product?
Deployment need more work and it need to several works to be done
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OLTP high write throughput data aggregation query engine
Used it for a personal project
What do you like best about the product?
MemSQL durability is slightly different for its in-memory rowstore and an on-disk columnstor which makes it awesome and a cluster can be configured in "High Availability" mode. It is also one of the fastest databases for columnar storage and analytical workloads.
What do you dislike about the product?
A little maybe better documentation would be helpful , espically for beginners. Also to play around for smaller machines like raspbeery pi and some fun projects to start with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I personally used it only on a personal level. It is insanely fast and very configurable. It also has a strong company and community behind it so that is pretty cool.
MemSql a great tools for sub-second queries
What do you like best about the product?
The MemSql Studio is a great tool (profiling and resource usage are great features)
The MySql compatibility is a great help for porting existing projects.

What do you dislike about the product?
The FullText feature is limited in comparison to other tools (Analyzer flexibility), but I expect it to be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it for an analysis dashboard that requires sub-second responses.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It a very fast DB (using columnstore), easy to maintain and porting from MySql was flawless.
Very reliable and easy to use database

it was fast to query, there is a lot of support, updates in real time, effective database
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of alerts , log in failed a few times
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
faster to run bigger data queries, easier to query larger sets of data
Nice UI, good integration with Spark
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use from Spark. Tables in hdfs was easy to put inside MemSQL from Spark (table is created from df schema). Connectivity plugin is added through spark-submit. Web UI allows writing commands, see memory usage, schema etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Upon uploading hdfs table into MemSQL due to insufficient memory node was going down. Wasn't able to delete this table due to some nodes being down. Auto table creating from Spark was missing columnstore save mode.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Updates on big tables (imported from Hadoop).
Memsql fast and stable!

Memsql works very fast it is easy to use and implement and it is mostly very stable and the support is mostly quick and responsive
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some bugs sometimes but mostly they are fixable and you can continue without any impact .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We solved a slowness in our grid reports by using memsql. This improved significantly the wait time our clients waited for reports to be generated and made their experience much more pleasant.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think i would highly recommend it for a businesses who have issues with data retrieval slowness and are looking to improve it's data retrieval speeds.
Evaluated memsql as poc for our use case
What do you like best about the product?
Good performance, scalability and easy setup. Kafka Integration was easy with native UI
What do you dislike about the product?
Integration with BI tools (tableau, microstrategy)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data lake with memsql. Performance increased multifold and scaled for large volume of data
Manage a huge data amount in ram
What do you like best about the product?
Store data across RAM's cluster and could access It really fast
What do you dislike about the product?
Some strange behaviour like Primary Keys disorder in past upgrade.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Manage huge amount of data fast than others.
Perfect for our use case!
What do you like best about the product?
We, a Big 4 accounting firm, use MemSQL for rapid creation and destruction of clusters. MemSQL's speed and reliability are key for our use case since speed is our priority.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting used to using a shard key for our tables was a little slow for teammates to adopt.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not having to keep clusters active saves time and money. MemSQL speed enables that competitive advantage.
Great product
What do you like best about the product?
The similarity to mysql. very clever architecture. very easy to use Kafka with im
What do you dislike about the product?
The time that take for first query.
The time that take to query with temp table (and in mySql is work very quick)
The time that take to query with temp table (and in mySql is work very quick)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickness of queries, use one query that contain all (without temp tables)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
why using temp tables is doesn't work well in memsql
