Postgres is the most effective Open source Database

  • December 27, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's open source. So, its great for startup companies. It is fully SQL compliant. The admin tool PGAdmin is powerful. I am impressed with the custom data types supported by Postgres mainly JSONB.
What do you dislike about the product?
We faced problem while using custom data types like JSONB. Inserting data to these type of columns via Hibernate is not straightforward. We referred a couple of articles on that to resolve the issue. https://github.com/thjanssen/HibernateJSONBSupport/tree/master/PostgresJSONB
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Postgres as a database choice for a custom product development. This database will contain a large amount of data. As an open source, it provides enterprise level RDBMS functionalities.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Postgres is the most effective Open source Database

Excellent open source object-relational database management system

  • December 26, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Once you've used it for awhile, it's natural. It's easy to see all the data you need, doesn't overcomplicate things either. Wildcard Search queries are simple and I love the number of extensions there are available for developers to take advantage of.
I enjoy using the PostgreSQL app on Mac OSX. I always know when I have it running because I can see the icon on the top of my Desktop.
What do you dislike about the product?
Installation can be tricky your first time around. I just helped a new developer set it up and it only took a few minutes of looking at the docs to give myself a reminder. The new developer was overwhelmed by the PostgreSQL documentation that he had kinda given up. After that, you'll quickly get the hang of it. PostgreSQL query syntax for more complex queries can be difficult and take a moment to learn but once you've gotten the hang of them, you'll be fine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use as our main database for 5 different projects. We've never had any issues and we like the flexibility it offers us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Although the documentation is a bit overwhelming at first glance, take some time and read through it. It'll help you in the long run and it's really not the scary.

Open source object-relational database management system for Web Developers

  • December 26, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
PostgreSQL or simply Postgres implements the SQL standard very well. Postgres provides a easy to understand tool called pgAdmin to interact and manipulate database. It provides support for complex data types like Array and Json. It can handle workloads ranging from small web applications to large data warehousing with many concurrent users. It is available till 10,000 rows on Heroku.
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?
From last one year we moved from MySQL to Postgres for database needs reason being of its support for multiple concurrent connections in affordable price. We are now using Postgres database for our new projects. I got benefit using PostgreSQL in term of price, speed, support of complex type and easy to learn query syntax.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend PostgreSQL to all web application who are looking for cost effective database. It supports almost all types of backend server like, Java, Ruby, Python etc. Postgre SQL provides high level of parallel queries. It support very useful types like array and JSON.

An alternative to traditional RDBM

  • December 21, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It has a great performance, specially to handle big volumes of data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its query language is not the standard SQL, so a learning curve is necessary. Fewer tools that interact with it, and also less documentation is a concern.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was used as a demonstration of non traditional databases, it handled everything we throw at it. It has better support for json types.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't be afraid of the learning curve, it's a good first step to later enter the world of NoSQL databases.

A performant open source alternative to Oracle and SQL Server

  • December 20, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is open source, it means we can look at the code and help to improve the product and troubleshoot bugs
What do you dislike about the product?
it is very strict on its SQL language, Mysql lets you slack a bit, postgresql does not.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data storage, We migrated an entire database from aging Oracle and SQL server to postgresql and we are very happy with it. We currently have many databases with it and we love it. Everything we think of a new product we choose Postgresql without a doubt.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Read a lot about SQL, it uses strict language so you cant get away with things like In MYSQL. I recommend Heidisql to use with Postgresql, it is a great front end.

What do you like best about the product?
Solid open source db. We use Postgres for all of our Astlassian databases. Maintenance is quick and easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initial setup could be simpler, but not anything outside the norm for a database solution like this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a free open source database that would be supported by Atlassian. It is solid and easy to maintain.
