Easy to perform maintenance of cluster and perform administrative tasks. Highly reliable and available even in default configuration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Technical documentation is sometimes not great. I've needed to engage tech support frequently to bridge gaps and verify procedures.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use MemSQL to perform complex geo-spatial queries against dynamically generated polygon areas which populates a search results window for real estate listings.

MemSQL - Faster Than Fast !!
What do you like best about the product?
I started using memsql last year and found that it is really quite easy to learn and work with MemSQL and unlike other databases you don't need extensive administrator activities to admin the memsql cluster and database per say.
Apart from that when you start working with memsql, you can very well observe that the data storage and retrieval is quite fast and doesn't matter how many joins and complexities are involved in the queries, the query results are pretty fast.
I also like the feature of memsql that the same DB system can be used for OLTP and OLAP purpose as well.

I also like the feature of memsql that the same DB system can be used for OLTP and OLAP purpose as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Many a times few things behave unique and different in memsql because of the settings of system variables which are set for the database, so user/developer needs to be aware of those variables. Example - Data truncation and data types conversion happen implicitly and provides different output depending on the system variables settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an OLTP system which can be used for processing High transactions per second as the existing system was unable to handle the large amount of read and write transactions. All those writes were redirected to MemSQL for faster processing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Not really at this time except that one needs to be pretty sure about the requirements that anyone have about what they are looking for because MemSQL provides both row store and column store engine and they both are for different purpose.
Simple & Speed Engine
What do you like best about the product?
I like it because it is a database manager very good compilations of data in structured language, it is easy to use is not cumbersome
What do you dislike about the product?
Some timing issues with cache clearing, etc. But, resolved.
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:
I recommend it is very good. Very scalable, fabulous, and very easy to use. I recommend it for the management of the data of the organizations.
Excellent scalable distributed in memory database
What do you like best about the product?
Very fast performance, excellent scalability, good support, good documentation and very stable product
What do you dislike about the product?
No native admin tools means you have to use command line or MySQL workbench witch isn’t ideal
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coming from an MS SQL database it was much easier to develop a multi fault tolerant database that outperformed a rotational disk array states many fold.
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.
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.
Scale and speed!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how we can get scale and speed out of this database technology. We have loaded data in volumes that have historically stopped other database technologies in their tracks. We also have integrated the Memsql with our data visualization software which streamlines our reporting channels.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any complaints at this point.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating and maintaining secure databases at scale for our company. We have found that we don't need to ask if the database can handle the volume when using memsql.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to learn what is available specifically to MemSQL. The documentation available is incredibly helpful when making a determination about what we can do with MemSQL. It has been an invaluable piece of the puzzle for us when bringing junior developers online and up to speed about how things work with MemSQL.
Very reliable and easy to use database
What do you like best about the product?
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
Dev Manager review
What do you like best about the product?
Unique value proposition, provide performance and scalability of similar NoSql products, with a flexible SQL query support
What do you dislike about the product?
Doesn't behave like traditional SQL DBs, lots of concepts and new behaviors to master, not so comprehensive analysis/monitoring tools available yet
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
High throughput of queries
