PostgreSQL review

  • October 20, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
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 brutally.
Unlimited installation: You can not sue a company for installing it on more computers than the license allows, as there is no cost associated with the software license. This allows for a more profitable business with large scale installations, we should not worry about being audited to see if we comply with the license, and there is flexibility and development without additional licensing costs.
Considerable savings in operating costs: PostgreSQL has been designed to have lower maintenance and adjustment than products of commercial suppliers, retaining all the features, stability and performance.
Stability and Reliability: No database crashes.
Extensible: The source code is available for free, so that whoever needs to extend or customize the program can do so without costs.
Multiplatform: Available on almost any Unix, with 34 platforms in the latest stable version, plus a native version of Windows in test state.
Designed for high-volume environments: Using a row storage strategy called MVCC, it gets better response in large volumes. In addition, MVCC allows read-only accesses to continue reading consistent data while updating records, allowing hot backups
Graphic design and database management tools.
It supports the SQL92 / SQL99 standard and standard type data, clauses, functions, and extended commands of PostgreSQL.
It can operate on different platforms, including Linux, Windows, Unix, Solaris and MacOS X.
Good security system through the management of users, groups of users and passwords.
Great storage capacity.
Good scalability as it is able to adjust to the number of CPUs and the amount of memory available optimally, supporting a greater number of concurrent requests to the database correctly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Compared to MySQL it is slower in insertions and updates because it has intersection headers that does not have MySQL.
Online support: There are official forums, but there is no obligatory help.
Consume more resources than MySQL.
The syntax of some of your commands or statements is not at all intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multiversion concurrency control; the MVCC; this method adds an image of the state of the database to each transaction. This allows transactions to be made consistently, offering great performance advantages. For example, it is not necessary to use read locks when performing a transaction, which provides greater scalability. thus solving scalability problems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
YES

it's a very scalable database and also comes at almost the cost of nothing. Also from a security perspective, we think it is quite secure

Using Postgresql on Linux

  • October 10, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is quick to install, and work well, providing a reliable database for server side storage
What do you dislike about the product?
Learning the best way to set up users can take much longer than you would expect. A simple tutorial on this would really help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using it to serve data to mobile and web apps for the building industry
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A good and cheap alternative to oracle

Use as PostgreSQL not as MySQL; get to know it the philosophy behind it first!

  • September 19, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Awesome built in data types, JSON with indexing to then work with triggers and locks!
Best of both NoSQL and SQL. The community is very active, as well as several commercial enterprise offerings.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found there to be a steep initial learning curve to be able to build an application effectively to use all the built-in magic if the development team come from using MySQL or MSSQL. Once the brain wraps around some of the over loaded terminology
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a database or databases that we could effectively have json stored, indexed, but allow for locked tables.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
have your team take the time to read or watch an introduction to postgresql methodology, and well as a comparison against MySQL. The hour/hour and a half of time in the beginning can save hours/days of reworking to use the internal tools to scale properly.

Review on Postgres

  • August 02, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
PostgreSQL is the SQL DB and been gaining popularity in the recent years. Today, After MySQL acquisition the community and many organisations do not consider MySQL though its popular and one of best. The next best is PostgreSQL also because of its good performance results. PostgreSQL is implements SQL standards very well and it supports advanced SQL stuff. As PostgreSQL is Open source, its been preferred by larger community and even few ECM tools Like Nuxeo ECM recommends best results.
What do you dislike about the product?
PostgreSQL is not very easy to understand or use unlike MySQL, it requires a little learning curve for new folks. The initial installation also requires some background and will take time for first few installations or integrations with other tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
PostgreSQL was considered mainly because it is open source. Also, its been recommended by experts due to its good results on performance front. PostgreSQL has support for all OS versions like windows, linux and others.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Yes
