System Properties Comparison Memgraph vs. Microsoft Azure AI Search vs. Percona Server for MySQL vs. Redis vs. Splunk

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

An open source graph database built for real-time streaming and compatible with Neo4j

Search-as-a-service for web and mobile app development

Enhanced drop-in replacement for MySQL based on XtraDB or TokuDB storage engines with improved performance and additional diagnostic and management features.

Popular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments

Redis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.

Analytics Platform for Big Data
