One of the best open source DBMS available and a lot of community support in mailing lists, social platform etc

If your application strongly dependent on some of the GIS features, PostgreSQL is the best option to consider

PostgreSQL is an excellent alternative

  • June 14, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Features, Open-Source, Extensibility, Programing Languages support, easy to install and maintain.
We are switching from Oracle and SQL Server to PostgreSQL for different use cases like Web development using .NET, Java and PHP, also we switch our Control-M application from Oracle to PostgreSQL too with and excelent result.
The short experience until now is awsome because the developers and DBAs dont suffered the change and the database performance for our use cases is really good.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like more features for auditing because the current solutions for audit actions and events doesn't meet our requirements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Application development in-house is now build using PostgreSQL, before we used Oracle and SQL Server.
License cost reduction without loosing professional support was the main benefit.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Yes, PostgreSQL is robust, easy to use and maintain and with an excellent set of features that compete directly with the biggest players like Oracle and SQL Server.

Excellent (and FREE!) Enterprise-Level DB.

  • June 02, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Several items: 1) it's FREE; 2) the ability to program functions and triggers in a variety of languages; 3) it is ACID-compliant which is extremely important to me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although it will run on Windows machines, it does seem (to me) that PostgreSQL is much more at home on a *nix computer. I had some strange access/permissions issues with some Windows directories/files whereas on Linux it was a non-issue. Your mileage may vary.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The NPO that I am assisting currently uses MS Access and has been doing so since circa 1992, with a very large number of data entry additions which were prone to error. Furthermore, their membership has grown from approximately 300 folks in 1992 to about 4,000 in 2017. This has made their existing setup a nightmare. I volunteered to normalize their data and streamline their data entry procedures with feedback from their current data manager with respect to possible refinements on the data entry forms. Essentially, we are implementing PostgreSQL as a back-end and because of the wide variety of tools available and its versatility, it should provide a large degree of DB future-proofing for the NPO.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is FREE!

Open Source, Well Documented RDBMS

  • May 20, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As a brand new user coming in with no SQL/database experience at all, I greatly appreciated the beautiful documentation of every single version of PostgreSQL at good ol' www.postgresql.org, especially the SQL commands reference.
What do you dislike about the product?
Slightly smaller community online, so for very specific issues, it may be more difficult to find help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Used it to efficiently manage large database of medical informatics data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely read the beautifully written online manual and use Stack Overflow to look up any questions. Some of the learning is just knowing SQL commands. Also, be careful of exiting and leaving processes hanging (I would have to contact the database administrator to get these hung-up processes removed because of permissions issues).

The best open source RDBMS you will ever find

  • April 21, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is performant, reliable, free, with a totally unencumbering license.
What do you dislike about the product?
No built in REST API or easy web hooks out of the box.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Transactional data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have to have an RDBMS and transactional data interactions, look no further. Built in C, runs on any platform. Has language bindings galore. Sets new standards in SQL options. Super stable and reliable. The pgadmin3 and the other frequently bundled tools are still awesome. You can also use Postgres as a nosql document db that works with SQL! (JSONB) Seriously, the best database you will find. Don't pay for oracle. Don't engender yourself to the toxic licensing of MySQL and other databases. Use this and don't hate life.

storing and access various large set of configuration settings, and snapshotting states of a system

Cost Effective alternative Databse

  • April 12, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's open source software and a large community that supports the incredible features that the database offers
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing yet! Replication could be improved
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most solutions do not need a heavy-weight database like Oracle or MS SQL; PostgreSQL offers a very convenient and powerful database that pack a lot of features.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do a cost / benefit analysis - this is fundamental for any new customer engagement solution that uses your product. A database is the core of any software application and you must understand and search out the issues and requirements that face the customer. Every implementation is unique and needs to be looked at holistically - architecture, security, performance, disaster recovery, reliability etc

What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use, that it supports almost all sql contructs, free, and suitable to most projects, small or large

The UI could be updated, but for a database server the current does the job and more

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it, you won't regret it and it's for free!
