Scaling Without Worries
What do you like best about the product?
The ease with which our team can build out new data models and deploy them into our production systems without worry that our infrastructure can handle it.
What do you dislike about the product?
While MemSQL is an excellent managed database service, the price tag for the features that they deliver is fairly high compared to the market.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to unify massive content delivery data across our clients in the Global 2000, and have built out a market leading analytics stack on top of that that we are able to deliver back to our clients. We have been able to rapidly develop and scale data models that have made us a leader in our space.
Good fit as an operational data store for legacy databases
What do you like best about the product?
Fast response times which makes it a good fit for an alternate ODS for legacy databases like Db2 on mainframe. Also, it has potential to be used for both for transaction processing as well analytical queries.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the data types supported by legacy databases are not supported by MemSQL
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
On legacy databases like Db2 on mainframe, a bulk of the transactions are for read while a small part is related to write. Porting the data onto MemSQL and creating a copy allows the application to divert the inquiry calls to the alternate database thereby saving lot of money.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A good option for ODS with legacy databases. Also, the in-memory processing means it can support both transaction processing as well as analytical queries.
Great for extreme data processing
What do you like best about the product?
For extremely large data mining, memsql stands above the rest. The ability to process an extreme amount of data expediently is by far the greatest part of memsql.
What do you dislike about the product?
Being on the Operations side of Memsql comes with it's challenges. There's a high learning curve for it, and at this time there isn't nearly as much out on the internet to help. Support is great, but being able to get in-the-moment answers is lacking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently the teams are using Memsql to parse extremely large datasets in times that used to take days.
Excellent in memory db
What do you like best about the product?
I would suggest them to make the physical persistence more robust.
What do you dislike about the product?
The physical persistence is not as robust as I would have liked to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Real-time data pipeline to build large look up ability before sending it over to hadoop. Cluster.
MemSQL is easy to use and performant
What do you like best about the product?
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.
