Very user-friendly, high-performance data analytics solution
What do you like best about the product?
The onboarding experience and how easy it is to get started. As someone who works with many clients, I particularly liked the ability (and ease) to quickly spin up a temporary database and ingest a large amount of data to run queries against. This is extremely useful for short-term (several days to 2 weeks) analytics projects. The logistics of setting up a new database are night & day in comparison to using RDS.
What do you dislike about the product?
"Dislike" is a strong term. After my initial experience with the product, there wasn't anything I particularly disliked, but here are some notes on how I think the user experience could be made better:
- It would be good to get the real time status of a pipeline; when I was running the test data import, the row count of the table kept changing every few seconds as more data was loaded. There was no real way to know when the entire set finished importing.
On this note, it would be great to have a general view of all the queries that are currently running in the database, and their progress. This would come in particularly useful when building applications that run analytics workloads and debugging those applications.
- (UX improvement) support for multiple SQL editor tabs in the web front end would be great, especially considering that the web interface appears to be designed to be the primary method for humans to interact with the database.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There is a multitude of scenarios where this tooling would be very helpful. Particularly -- read-only queries against massive datasets (for example: if this tool existed five years ago, it would have saved us months of custom PostgreSQL optimization that we had to do and would have likely worked out-of-the-box for what we needed).
Good Cloud Database
What do you like best about the product?
Pipeline creation and its execution. Unified UI for cluster/DB/Queries etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
No dislike but wanted to explore and see query plans in a better format. Wanted to check monitoring.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data pipelines (Not sure how & where transformations would be handled).
Scalability, easy of use & responsiveness.

System developer
What do you like best about the product?
Effortless to migrate local DB to the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
The current database in SQL Editor will be reset if the page has been reloaded.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reduce the on-premises server required. The platform can reduce both hardware cost and maintenance cost.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It would be perfect if I can get a timely reply on my issue raised to portalhelp@singlestore.com.
Outstanding Data Platform
What do you like best about the product?
- Extremely easy to set up and there are no issues with local dev. environments since it is in the cloud.
- It is highly responsive with connecting to data and queries.
- When I ran into a problem the live chat was very quick to assist me in moving forward.

What do you dislike about the product?
There were a few UX issues I had around the queries and the output of results into numerous tabs, but it seems like those are being addressed by their development team so I hope to see those changes reflected in future releases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For our organization, we are really just assessing what makes the most sense for our distributed software solutions and the storage behind them. SingleStore so far seems like a viable solution in the storage area.
Fast performance and easy Integration
What do you like best about the product?
The speed and performance. We have loaded the huge datasets, the performance is tremendous.
What do you dislike about the product?
None. Nothing to complain. Everything is good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data integration. Getting the records fast from various complex queries.
Streamlined cloud storage integration and user friendly query based software
What do you like best about the product?
1. Pipeline that directly fetched data from cloud store
2. Syntax for the pipeline was very concise and straightforward
3. Each output tab remains open with query output so that can be revisited easily as required
4. Very user friendly interface
5. Sign up and cluster creation process was smooth and streamlined
6. Tutorial for the process was adequately descriptive with the right amount of engagement in terms of the tone and language of the content provided

What do you dislike about the product?
1. Cancel button to terminate query during execution was hard to find
2. Output tabs like 'database created successfully' and 'table created successfully' will not need to be viewed again, hence these tabs need not be kept open once viewed. Right now we can manually close but if for selective outputs we can have one time view output tabs, that will be great

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. To handshake with cloud store programmatically is tedious and requires a lot of code. Once configured successfully, SingleStore was able to retrieve data with ease
2. Cluster was provisioned with incisive parameters to be entered by me without adding any extra layer of complexity, which enhanced my user experience
3. SingleStore seems to be a one stop tool that offers compatibility with an extended range of cloud stores, thus diversifying scope of one's project without the need for store endpoint specific programming
4. The user interface is very friendly, which makes it easier to educate people with semi technical roles(client reporting team, etc) on using SingleStore to better understand and report the use case of a project.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
SingleStore revolutionizes how we imagine relational databases. Their multi-cloud support is unparalleled and user interface is friendly and incisive.
Review regarding the UI and functionality
What do you like best about the product?
The simplest and easy way to create pipeline.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like you to have more UI friendly and whenever I execute query it should have an option to appear in bottom window area. Also I would like to know how many rows got inserted, updated and deleted when I execute DML. I would like to have info about indices on the tables. I would also have a way of creating a pipeline in the opposite direction or export data to S3 bucket to have two ways experience in different format.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I would say the ingestion and searching and the easiness of creating pipeline is the beauty of this product. This product I would say more solving analytical problems but still I experience some slowness with complex aggregate
Recommendations to others considering the product:
SingleStore is easy to setup, easy to create data pipeline, easy to administer and efficient to retrieve data from even if you are using complex aggregation
User Review - SingleStore
What do you like best about the product?
The fast and efficient query engine of SingleStore. It can process a big dataset very quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as such. I was having some trouble finding out the execution plan of the query but found that as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have a huge data volume and I am trying to join multiple tables with millions of rows. This can be done very quickly using SingleStore.
Meet the fast processing data platform.
What do you like best about the product?
I have tried SingleStore for data processing. The speed at which data gets processed from different pipelines is amazing. Millions of data were being transferred within seconds. And it is easy to get familiar with platform, it is friendly and accessible.
What do you dislike about the product?
What the platform is missing is its own GUI to connect to their environment. Sometimes relying only in browser may be not the best way to use the product. Another disadvantage is that each query run opens a new tab of results which leads to browser memory utilization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am new in SingleStore, now I am trying to get myself educated with its capabilities. We try to get insights from our data, and derive conclusion which might help our customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you wish for fast data processing SingleStore should be your first choice on your selection.
