Best Database Server
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about this database is, it is open source. We can customize it according to our requirements. Postgres is portable with all the platforms and programming languages. It does not requires more command line configurations. It is most reliable and stable database.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some problems with postgres when we compared it to the mysql database. Low budget hosting sites supports mysql than postgres mostly. In terms of speed, mysql needs less work than the postgres. Also more open sources support mysql but not postgres. These are some of the problems with postgres.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Postgres is the good for the embedded applications.It's reliability is high. I found that it is more flexibility for concept research and deployments without any licenses which costs more.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The postgres is the best database server, which is an open source. It is more profitable for the business models. There are high sql standards. It has more features than mysql database.It is considered one of the most reliable databases on data reliability and correctness. It can also helps in solving the database related problems. It can be installed and run on many types of platforms like Windows, Linux and Unix. There are many GUI tools of high quality available for this postgre sql from both the developers and the commercial providers.It provides the better support than the proprietary vendors. It gives personalized view. It is easily configurable, also it has subquery support.

Free, Open Source and not MySQL! What not to like.
What do you like best about the product?
After dealing with the oddities of MySQL for years and looking for a real database, PostgreSQL is a breath of fresh air! Sub query performance is much better, good management tools, free and open source.
What do you dislike about the product?
Archaic authentication and authorization
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Much faster performance than MySQL, need less servers now.
Great database
What do you like best about the product?
Free, constantly improving, scalable, great support for analytical functions.
What do you dislike about the product?
It came as a surprize that some of the aggregate functions (like first_value) could not be used as window functions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In PostgreSQL we store metadata for a resource management system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider it!
Best for Any medium scale sized project
What do you like best about the product?
ANSI Compliant SQL, Verbose logging, Replication ease, Indexing performance
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as such , would recommend for further projects also.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its used for financial Applications for a insurance company. We are creating web and mobile based apps for this company, although previously it was also good with another db product, but with pogres ease of use, and orm compatibility is better.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try, it wont disappoint you.
PostgreSQL Review
What do you like best about the product?
I love PostgreSQL than any other Databases
What do you dislike about the product?
for beginners (new to Database) Installation and configuration is a bit difficult
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we use as our Database for all our projects
Excellent Database Manager
What do you like best about the product?
Database with excellent features to store data, integration with many applications developed in different languages of application development, compatibility with Windows operating systems, Linux, etc. Ease of integration with ETL solutions, to store data warehouses to interact with business intelligence software, allows replication of data with streamig replication, the availability of operational continuity through the implementation of pgpool, binaries to perform backup and recovery processes , implementation of WAL, possibility of executing auto vacuum to keep the objects of the database clean, version updates of the postgresql SMBD, are easy and applications are not affected.
What do you dislike about the product?
The postgresql database management system has a weakness that does not have high availability mechanisms, does not include cluster administration, only includes isolated tools for the implementation of continuity of service, and integrates a group of solutions to support postgresql as This is the case of pgpool
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reduce maintenance and licensing costs
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Before the implementation of postgregar in your infrastructure, make a test plan for the compatibility of the applications developed, perform a intonation postgresql of SMBD, so that the performance of the work is adjusted to the servers where it is installed. Implement a backup and backup plan, install a good software to monitor the performance of the database, I recommend NAGIOS as software for monitoring, from my own experience I recommend installing the postgresql SMBD under the Debian operating system, and verify the configuration files to customize the parameters for the best performance of the postgresql SMBD.
Fastest Database, easy to adopt
What do you like best about the product?
Standard SQL.Although the speed of response may seem deficient in small databases, that speed is maintained by increasing the size of the database, which is not the case with other programs, which slow down.
What do you dislike about the product?
PostgreSQL query syntax for some complex queries like array,string functions and case operator are is not easy to write . Installation and configuration of PostgreSQL is not as easy as MySQL. Documentation is not as good as MySQL and it is bit harder to google search results.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Postgres powers our web based software, Intervals. It's been the best choice we could have possibly made.
One of the best databases out there
What do you like best about the product?
Great low-level performance tuning capabilities. It supports lots of advanced data types, such as (multi-dimensional) arrays, user-defined types, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's far less popular than MySQL and a bit harder to get quick help from community or Google for result.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We manage Customer Database with Postgres.
By far the most powerful and advanced open source database software
What do you like best about the product?
The developer community behind Postgres is phenomenal. Not only do they keep the software active, they give their time speaking and teaching about the software. The speed and reliability of the software is also great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Postgres number one priority is data reliability, then speed, which causes some features like COUNT() to be slower than I'd like. While this is ideal 99% of the time, there is that 1% when I wish there was an option to configure the software to make COUNTs faster, even if it meant less reliability for that qeury's result.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Postgres powers our web based software, Intervals. It's been the best choice we could have possibly made for over 11 years since we first adopted it. We have benefited most from the speed improvements and replication features.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Setup and configuration are not easy, but it's mostly system administrators and DBAs using it so that is to be expected. Admin tools, such as pg_basebackup, have improved.
PostgreSQL > MySQL
What do you like best about the product?
The query capacity of PostgreSQL is superior to MySQL which is what I was using before switching over the PostgreSQL.
What do you dislike about the product?
Whenever you are switching querying languages there are always different querying nuances that can cause differences in what type of queries you are able to easily transfer over between languages and what changes you need to change in order to maintain efficiency and consistency.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to query incredibly large databases without pegging the DB and without having to wait hours for a query to finish. The time it takes to query against multiple databases for very complex queries is comparably a lot faster than other SQL languages.
