We performed a comparison between Amazon RDS and SingleStore based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Database as a Service solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Amazon RDS is lightweight and flexible."
"Amazon RDS is good for backups, auto-scanning, and disaster recovery. It's also appropriate for the office server."
"Amazon RDS is easy to maintain and easy to deploy."
"Encryption is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon RDS is its performance."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it requires an easy setup phase, and it is also easy to use while not being too heavy on its users."
"The IT is easy to set up, which is the best."
"One of the most valuable features is that it is serverless, so we don't have to worry about scaling."
"It's a distributed relational database, so it does not have a single server, it has multiple servers. Its architecture itself is fast because it has multiple nodes to distribute the workload and process large amounts of data."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."
"The product's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes."
"The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."
"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."
"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."
"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short."
"The solution could improve the administration tools."
"Amazon RDS could improve by having more sophisticated. I use other solutions that have better technology for more difficult tasks."
"The Performance Monitor they have is a little clanky, at least in regards to the UI."
"Some of the features will not be there. For example, some on-premises things we want to set up will not be supported there. There are some challenges that they are fixing."
"The running cost could be improved."
"It would be helpful if they made it easier to migrate from an existing on-premises solution to the cloud-based service."
"It would be better if it integrated seamlessly with Microsoft products. Our clients use the Microsoft Tally application server. We already tried to create a reputation from, for example, an on-premises environment from our client to Amazon RDS using Microsoft Tally server, and we couldn't do that because we didn't have a strong user in RDS. We couldn't create a reputation from an on-premises environment from the Microsoft Tally server to RDS. I think that it would be a good implementation, and it would help us with this case."
"There are a few aspects of database management that have room for improvement. There are a few parameters in the solution that are a bit unclear at our end as it's not understandable."
"Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial."
"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally."
"It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks."
"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."
"The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings."
"There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great."
"For new customers, it's very tough to start. Their documentation isn't organized, and there's no online training available. SingleStore is working on it, but that's a major drawback."
