Overview		Select...
Description	Built for maximum ingest, fast query, and high concurrency to help you process, analyze, and act on data instantly. Available in the cloud, on Kubernetes, or on-premises.	Only runs on specialized hardware, that is very expensive. Unreliable while handling hybrid workloads.
Database Model	Relational DBMS	Relational DBMS
DBaaS Offering	SingleStore Helios	SAP HANA

Real-Time
Data Ingest	The first database with true linear shared-nothing scalability, enabling essentially unlimited scale, proven from three leading industry benchmarks: TPC-C, TPC-H, and TPC-DS.	Much slower transactions and throughput due to limitations in architecture. Unable to deliver parallel lock-free ingest for streaming data.

Manageability
Maintenance	Rapidly deploy the integrated software only environment on standard hardware for dramatically less complexity and manageability.	Tightly integrated hardware and software configurations results in weeks to months of challenging patching and upgrades tying up DBA resources and impacting end user experiences.

Deployment
Flexibility	Devops enabled for rapid deployment, scale, on multi-cloud. Open platform runs with Kafka, Spark, HDFS, Kubernetes.	Not DevOps ready resulting in complex admin operations. Down time during scale out. In-built DR solution is inadequate.

Scalability
Architecture	Scale-out architecture efficiently and quickly responds to growing workloads leveraging commodity hardware without add-ons or specialized tuning expertise.	Scale-out operation requires manual sharding, costly data re-distribution, and expensive hardware addons. Zero data loss is not guaranteed when standby fails.

Cost-Effectiveness
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)	Simple single product subscription with easy to manage and patch software platform delivers performance with dramatic cost savings. About Licensing	Requires specialized hardware. Expensive maintenance contracts, database options, and upgrade fees result in continuously rising TCO.
