Powerfull and stable db engine, it's cross platform, a great support for business, it has many administrative tools and extensive documentation.

Actually nothing specific, maybe the fact that it's less mature that its contraparts dbm therefor it has less popularity in market carring a little bit resistence to use as principal dbm in actually projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Web apps and projects with tons of data that must be processed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Read the documentation prior to use this, as simple and related to sql as it might look, you might find yourself bumping into some new functionalities that will require you to use them proper in order to configure and use the tool the way its mean to be.

A stable, powerful, feature-rich and fast database

  • March 14, 2014

What do you like best about the product?
One of PostgreSQL's best features is strong adherence to the ANSI-SQL:2008 standard, which makes it a very comfortable choice when switching from other database systems. It's open source, well maintained, industry proven and battle-hardened, with a rich set of features that I could not begin to list here. I've consistently been impressed by its extensibility, stability, and robust set of built-in functions, including handy cryptographic functions. I make regular use of nested transactions, wide language support for stored procedures, and complex subquery expressions. This is a powerful tool suitable for a wide variety of application domains, and it is well supported in every major programming language with drivers and connectors. A plethora of tools exist to interact with your PostgreSQL databases, from command line to powerful GUI tools suitable for both experienced and novice users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Configuring PostgreSQL instances can be challenging, and is not to be entertained by the layman. If you can, find an experienced DBA to handle configuration of your instances or cluster, unless you have a very competent system/database administrator in-house. It will work just fine out-of-the-box, but more demanding integrations require configuration tweaking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We migrated from Oracle to PostgreSQL, saving significantly on licensing costs with no loss in performance or features. Since that switch, we have used PostgreSQL as our data backplane for every new product initiative with great success and no insurmountable difficulties.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider PostgreSQL early in your RDBMS search. Every major and minor release adds significant functionality -- this is a living, breathing, growing product that will almost certainly address your needs.
