Recent MemSql Experience
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of installation and compatibility with all cloud providers is the best. Resilient components makes it easy for installing and maintaining as distributed components.DB replication feature is the best.
What do you dislike about the product?
Instances are hard wired to memsql instance ids, It would be easier if we have option to add new one's and delete existing ones easily. The process of node joins and node decommission can made be simpler making all the cloud operations easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Found an alternate for realtime reporting that is currently using NOSQLDB. Currently, the NOSQLDB that is being used has real time data but it's not delete friendly and efficient. So memsql was our alternative option for reporting.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are doing aggregates, have large log type tables, or need real time analytics using a "mysql" friendly environment, you should look at MemSQL. It's a great product (Sr Mysql DBA for > 10 years).
MemSQL Support is excellent. They can help you optimize your queries and make sure your system is properly configured. The 2 days on-boarding Professional Service is also a nice add-on.
I would also recommend the training. Videos are available for download, perfect for going back to them and refresh your MemSQL knowledge.

Great engine, great team!
What do you like best about the product?
Excellent product, great team to work with and great support!.
What do you dislike about the product?
The engine is not that compatible with MySQL - a lot of the syntax and protocol is supported, but the behavior can be different, or there might be limitations.
Making the engine more suitable for less-savvy users would yield better adoption (my understanding is that's already a part of the company's roadmap).
