Convenient tool for end users

  • October 30, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Used PostgreSQL for more than 4 years on 2 different jobs. Convenient and easy to learn. All main stream functionalities are there. No fancy add-ons.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I used the software it did not support tabbed query editor, so I had to switch query windows fairly frequently, adding a little difficulty to use. Now I guess they must have changed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Exploring relational database - designing reports and downloading data for modeling purposes. The benefits included easy access to database and easy to manipulate intermediate results.

A serious DB for serious usage

  • October 30, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
PostgreSQL's reliability and robustness is impressive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing comes to mind when thinking about negatives.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
High volume data storage with fast lookup.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take advantage of PostgreSQL's built in capabilities, such as hstore, which allows PostgreSQL to achieve NoSQL like (schema-less) quality without reducing it's robustness.

Best opensource DB

  • October 29, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best free DB to use. One of the most stable and with very active community.
Compatibility with Geo Spatial objects, JSON etc.
Unlimited database size with 32TB tables, 1.6TB max row size, 1GB max field size, and unlimited rows per table.
There are so many extensions to use with PostgreSQL.
What do you dislike about the product?
Coming from enterprise RDBMS software like Oracle, some of the features are not very intuitive.
Initial learning takes sometime coming from MySQL type systems.
Configuration changes needed restart.
Handling WALs may be complex sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Main use case was storing and handling JSON data. Also to support geo objects.
Another requirement is to have the database on AWS RDS.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
PostgreSQL is a free DB to use. Very robust and scalable DB with all required regular RDBMS features.

Simple to use, Easy SQL management tool.

What do you like best about the product?
Coming from a MySQL background it is very similar and allows me to manage my data in any way I see fit.
What do you dislike about the product?
The PostgreSQL management tools out there today aren't the best. It's hard to find a GUI tool that allows me to manage my data simply.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have a lot of data that I need to keep historical track of and PostgreSQL keeps that all in one place that allows me to keep track of it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are used to MySQL and are unable to use that for your database management needs, PostgreSQL is a great alternative. With all the other tools that are being offered right now, AWS and GAE, this is still light weight and open source.

What do you dislike about the product?
Could be more intuitive, the graphical user interface could be improved.

Quick to install if you need to whip up a DB

Simple and easy to use

  • October 25, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how simple this software is. It doesn't try to get you with a fancy UI or anything crazy intricate. it's straight forward and it is easy to use for anyone who has SQL experience. Whether in the classroom or at the workplace, it's a really great program for database work. It's user friendly in the sense that is is basic and easy. It may not have all the bells and whistles of other software but that's kind of what I like about it. The output pane when doing queries is nice and simple to read. it's easy to make sure you can see all of the data you need to see in your databases. I also like that the SQL editor gives you color differences on the words so you know that you are entering the correct information. It will come up red if it thinks something is wrong.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to tell sometimes which DB on your server you are in, as it doesn't highlight it very well. It also is somewhat annoying to have to open a separate screen for actually running SQL.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to look up information quickly when a user needs to know about data that we can only find within the database. It's great for when we are looking into defects and also for writing automation tests. There are a lot of benefits.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn up on SQL!

Great opensource relational database

  • October 25, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As of yet, I haven't had any issues with Postgresql. I honestly don't think I've utilized it to its full potential. Some of the features that I've found very helpful are its upsert, or insert on conflict feature as well as the ability to have multiple schemas in order to support a multi tenant data model without having to use multiple databases. It is also quite easy to backup and restore, as well as create followers for high read capacity as well as automatic fallover. Also, we use Ruby on Rails coupled with Heroku for deployment, and Heroku has a great managed PostgreSQL service that makes utilizing all of its features really easy and painless.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish there was a free tool similar to SQLPro for Postgresql on Mac. There are some paid tools. But I'm fairly cheap. The default management application PGAdmin is very featureful, but the UX isn't amazing, particularly for simple things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use PostgreSQL for almost all our relational database needs, typically for backend data storage for web and mobile applications. It has been fantastic and works great coupled with Ruby on Rails applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It works really well for us using Ruby on Rails and deploying to Heroku utilized Heroku Postgres.

One of the BEST PL/SQL development tools

  • October 25, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to set up PostgreSQL and connect it to a Database.
What do you dislike about the product?
The gui is not user friendly for a layperson. You must have some knowledge of Database programming to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
PostgreSQL has made it possible for us to maintain and report on smaller databases that the users create via Access.

Scalable, flexible databases for any use

  • October 24, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Data of almost any format fits well in Postgres. You can use one database instance to house multiple databases, but also host multiple discrete schemas in each database (each with its own set of tables). The scope with which you can shape and manage data structures is remarkable!
What do you dislike about the product?
Some key features from other database systems (like UUIDs for identifiers) are not included by default and require installing separate extensions (pgcrypto for UUIDs). Forgetting to install an extension before importing data can lead to data loss and errors all over the place!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Postgres to host our primary application database. It's given us massive scalability by allowing us to tie multiple microservices together into one application.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep your data structures clean and ensure your relations don't blend across schemas too often. While cross-schema queries are possible, building your application to use them will limit you in terms of scalability should you ever wish to spread your database across multiple servers/instances.

What do you like best about the product?
The amount of updates, and support by the community is amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing in particular, only that replication could take a page out of mysql.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our entire BI database is primarily on Postgresql, it is easy to maintain and does not require a lot of resources to run an efficient database.
