Likelihood to Recommend	Well suited for automated failover between Master and Slave Works well with Galera cluster technology Works very well for database load balancing Less suited for CPU and memory related optimization for ScaleArc cluster Prerequisite to run ScaleArc on standalone machine should be avoidable so that customer is not forced to provide dedicated hardware for this software Balwan Singh Senior Principal Engineer Read full review
Pros	ScaleArc does provide high availability and during failover it takes care of the master slave lag as well seamless switch between master and slave. ScaleArc also helps to reduce application traffic on MySQL database server by filtering frequently used commands like AUTOCOMMIT. ScaleArc provides a single interface for all application and database user management. This helps in strengthening security aspects of user management.

However; I would recommend the analytics be a little more easier to use and more intuitive for drilling down to the source of the problem.

Alternatives Considered	Outside of Microsoft SQL Server 2016 introducing the ability to route reads across the entire availability group; there is no other solution on the market that even comes close, and that's even if they exist.
