What do you dislike about the product?
There can be some issues installing it in a Windows environment.
Nothing impossible, but it can take time to solve them.
A total newby to relational databases could find it difficult to use it, especially as there is no GUI.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using it with Ruby programming, and I think there is a good compatibily between the two.
I've got a powerful solution that is at the same time relatively light.

Best SQL Database integrates well with just about any server language
What do you like best about the product?
PostgreSQL is very robust, easy to use and has a nice documentation. It comes with a lot of built-in tools such as generating unique identifiers (UUID/GUID) and has many ready to use plugins such as PostGIS for geospatial querying. If your organization uses a relational database, then PostgreSQL is as good as it gets.
What do you dislike about the product?
As with any SQL database, PostgreSQL has a lot of limitations. The biggest limitation that in my application is full-text search. To be fair, PostgreSQL does come with some nice tools for full-text search, but relational databases are not designed for this stuff and you're better off using a specialized tool like ElasticSearch, which happens to work pretty well with PostgreSQL.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use PostgreSQL to keep track of our customer and business records.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure that you're comfortable with SQL before using PostgreSQL. Also read the documentaion
the best open source database
What do you like best about the product?
it's open source, free, (relatively) easy to setup. It comes with a bunch of killer features (hstore, json, live queries) It's being updated frequently. There are lots of tools that are built around it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Scaling and performance tweaking is kind of tricky. No commercial support. Community support is OK (but not as good as MySQL imo)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Affordable, high performing database, that can be deployed in the cloud.
NoSQL-like features (e.g. hstore/json) support.

A powerful flavor of SQL
What do you like best about the product?
PostgreSQL has some great features. In particular, window functions make challenging (in other flavors of SQL) tasks a breeze.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have found that the programs available to execute PostgreSQL (that I am aware of) are lacking compared to SQL Server.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used PostgreSQL to pull health care data from a database.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's solid, has a lot of features, and widely used. Also, it's open source so you can't beat the price!
Great and much more friendly alternative to MySQL
What do you like best about the product?
It follows the syntax of standard SQL, quite closely related with MySQL, and it has wide variety of features not present in MySQL . . . . also is friendly with languages like Python and the likes. The existence also of a local database management software (pgAdmin) and command line tool makes everything much easier for first time users, and for experienced developers as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far, in particular. All in all it is a whole package as an SQL language. I have yet to delve deeper into back-end development and look further into what the PostgreSQL lacks as an SQL language. But so far it satisfied my basic needs in an SQL and back-end language.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Database management through SQL with the whole package and features needed by a back-end developer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A must-use especially if you are a newbie in the field of back-end development. Very developer friendly and complete-packaged.
A reliable and well-supported choice
What do you like best about the product?
Postgres is rock solid and reliable, and has a list of plugins and improvements that really stand out. The fact that a significant portion of the web community has embraced Postgres sets it apart and makes it a clear winner in a lot of situations. It's plugins also allow me to add features easily and quickly without having to add new technology to my stack.
Columns with a specific datatype, hstore for handy, queryable key-value storage, hierarchical features, and full text search are all readily available when you go with Postgres, which is especially handy when starting on a brand new project with rapidly changing requirements.

What do you dislike about the product?
The thing about postgres that gives me pause is that it's plugin features encourage you to write code that cannot be migrated to other databases. It's a little bit iffy when you're choosing a technology to lock yourself into something thoroughly, and postgres makes it really easy to do that.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're in Rails and on Heroku, it should be the option to beat.
