Easy to set up - super fast to use
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about memsql is the speed at which queries are run - add kafka pipelines for your ETL process and everything data related becomes much easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really - everything runs pretty smooth and the support provided is great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our primary BI tool is Tableau - before we implemented MemSQL, we were connecting Tableau to MSSQL Server and running reports off there - however, the performance was extremely slow especially when querying large chunks of data. With Mem, we can query as much data as we need with little to no impact on performance time.

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).
Amazing Performance of MemSQL
What do you like best about the product?
Amazing performance of MemSQL both for reads and writes.
No blocking sessions.
Non blocking indexes.
Excellent performance for Dashboards, mobile applications, warehouses, data science, realtime reporting performance.

Excellent performance for Dashboards, mobile applications, warehouses, data science, realtime reporting performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Central monitoring not available.
Indexes are built on start up and if there are too many indexes it takes more time.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data Science, OLAP Reporting using Tableau, BOBJ.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
High Speed normal SQL Database compared to other products in the market like Document / Key Store database which is difficult to understand. Apart from that, this also supports Document storage.
Memsql fast and stable!
What do you like best about the product?
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.
Great performance and super easy to deploy
What do you like best about the product?
By making use of the memsql-ops tooling, I'm able to quickly and easily spin up an entire cluster with HA.
What do you dislike about the product?
The database makes heavy use of memory (which is one of its selling points), which can make it challenging in instances where large queries can bring a node to a halt due to out of memory issues. Improved understanding of the system and better monitoring can help work around that potential pit fall.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Running queries over large data sets in reasonable amounts of time. We've been able to pump through many millions of records in seconds, where in other database systems we were having our queries time out.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're able to accomodate the high-ish system requirements for a MemSQL cluster, and have the need for a high performance database for large datasets, give MemSQL a go.
Analyst
What do you like best about the product?
The UI of the product looks great but there is still scope for improvement. The Performance degrades at times. The buttons and features could be more interactive and re-prioritized for easiness of the customers working on it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Structural backbone of the product looks unsustainable and might cause trouble in our use case. Latency on complex schema designs. We process huge chunk of data in TBs everyday and it is back and forth read write step that requires minimum latency, this product may not work as anticipated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Customer identification system for various classification and predictive business needs. In order to read/write some scenario based variables, we need more scalability and less latency. The problem with TBs of data writing in MemSQL can be good but not at a large scale handling. We need more sustainability.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Performance for complex schema and UI. The buttons and features could be more interactive and re-prioritized for easiness of the customers working on it. The more a user works over the tool the more complexity and latency it observes. The site for resource declaration and deployment is another concern that can be dealt with and kept in mind while designing solutions to this platform. The occurrence of scenarios with customer based input/output latency is huge performance bottleneck. May be new version of the products are dealing with it in a mature and betterment data handling and storage. I love the product but still for all business needs it just doesn't add up
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
MemSQL looks promising and can definitely do a lot more
What do you like best about the product?
Obviously the processing capability. Though we are still in the initial stages, we are beginning to notice how efficient MemSQL is with its lightening quick speeds.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of a good GUI. Having trouble with ODBC compatibilities, need to homogenize the drivers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Part of an organizational initiative to replace legacy work horses with MemSQL. Again, efficiency is the key.
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.
