Incredible fast performing Database
What do you like best about the product?
MemSQL is the most powerful and fastest database for performing high-performance queries. The primary factor for utilizing MemSQL is speed and performance and capability to query over billions of rows. MemSQL is way more powerful and reliable than traditional databases in terms of speed, accuracy, and performance. We can have access to data in real-time and server crucial data to thousand of our users.
What do you dislike about the product?
We never encountered any issues with MemSQL and it was a pretty awesome experience utilizing it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MemSQL speed and accuracy are more than exceptional and it is our primary factor in choosing MemSQL. It's easier to achieve speed, performance, and scalability with MemSQL. Deploying and configuring MemSQL was an easy process and we were easily able to integrate it with our systems.
Amazing performance in AdHoc queries and streaming analytics on the big databases
What do you like best about the product?
I had a great experience with MemSQL that provides amazing performance in AdHoc queries and streaming analytics on the big databases. It is a robust software that easily aces every database and executing fast queries with real-time data ingestion. It is easy to setup and legacy compatible. The customer support was great and helpful to resolve technical issues. Overall I liked this software that has less learning path, easily supports MySQL, and compatible with other products as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation has to be more informative and detailed with functionality. Overall I liked this software that has less learning path, easily supports MySQL, and compatible with other products as well.

My colleague in data analysis
What do you like best about the product?
MemSQL is a database that performs most of the operations in the frame compared to other commercial solutions, therefore it is also a much faster solution perfectly suited for data analysis compared to other databases. A great advantage of MemSQL is that the database is memsql compatible, making the transition very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
MemSQL is not suitable for smaller projects due to the need for a large amount of frame memory.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MemSQL gives me the ability to analyze data faster compared to the databases we used.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I will recommend using MemSQL to companies that want to improve the speed of data exchange and scale projects.
Checked - One solution for Streaming Analytics on Big Data
What do you like best about the product?
- Super simple, we implemented the whole of our customer-facing streaming analytics data store in a 2-day hackathon
- Natively integrates with AWS & other services (we are a multi-petabyte S3 shop with huge Kafka clusters)
- Since most of it is SQL, anyone can hit the ground running in no-time, an ultra-low barrier to entry
- We saw a sub-second response on a test case with 1000 concurrent heavy API calls (scanning billions of rows across many tables + window functions etc) along with applying RBAC functionalities on the fly
- Incredibly fast out of the box, basic performance tuning will suffice 95% of use cases
- Fantastic partners to work with, super helpful, we have access to their core engineering team, +100 on Customer engagement!

What do you dislike about the product?
In my humble opinion, it solved a very unique hard problem for us elegantly (without having to compromise on any architectural or data principles). Problem of streaming analytics on high-velocity high volume data sets with sub-second API responses can be a handful. For me, this along with other use-cases they mention is their core strength. So anything beyond these capabilities is a "Nice to have" for me. Their roadmap covers most of what the community is asking - hot back-up's, better UI, modelling etc.

They offer a free trial, definitely try - you will not be disappointed with what you see.
Incredibly fast performance for dashboards!
What do you like best about the product?
We have had excellent luck with ingest rates and the ability to do lightning fast counts and other general math on time based data sets. If you are already familiar with SQL you will have little trouble utilizing this platform. Although we have had few occasions to use it, paid support was quite responsive and helped us correct issues quickly. Toolset allows for quick builds and deployments and services have been stable over significant periods of uptime. MemSQL Ops dashboard also allows for at-a-glace view to determine if your cluster is generally healthy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although I have heard of some people have positive results, I would like to implement autoscaling with the ability to increase licensing cost only for the time a cluster is scaled. I will soon be looking into MemSQL's Helios product to see if that is a reasonable path forward for us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MemSQL provides the backend for our realtime dashboard and alerts system. MySQL compatibility makes it easy to import/export data to other databases when needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For our use case of doing math on time series data MemSQL has been a great success; if you are running basic SELECT statements and expect raw data in your results we didn't see as much of a speed increase but the ease of setting up a HA cluster is a definite bonus even then.

MemSQL hungry for memory
What do you like best about the product?
Few quires will run faster if you did everything correctly as per undocumented, unexplained MemSQL specification.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's unusable as ANSI compliant SQL server. Single and simple insert, update and delete do not work. Data can be loaded faster if it is in perfectly formatted CSV file. It frequently runs out of memory. We have 3 nodes with 2 aggregates with total of 160GB of memory and it still runs out of memory. Local Pipelines can do very less in real world scenarios.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were trying to manipulate large amount of electric meter reads and analyze our data with different scenario like area of server vs rate structures. So far it we have failed to materialize any advantage out of it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Evaluate other alternatives.

What do you dislike about the product?
None aso of now. As we drill down doc more questions will arise
