Great and much more friendly alternative to MySQL

  • March 18, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

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.

The best open source ORDBMS there is.

  • March 14, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
PostgreSQL is by far the most fast advancing and promising open source database there is. It has an ongoing development agenda and a very active community. Performance keeps increasing and new functionalities are released with increasing frequency. It's a very robust and trustful solution for any database dependent project.
What do you dislike about the product?
The most likeable thing about PostgreSQL might be the fact that its core developers and general contributors might be more inclined to come up with new features than to address possible underlying bugs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being in a very demanding ever-changing extendable and agile environment, working with applications that supports both structured and unstructured data, I consider PostgreSQL a life saviour. It can actually act as a document database when needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It has never failed me and I bet it won't fail you either. It's reliable and has a very large user base. Typical solutions and general help can easily be found online when problems arise.

The best relational database

  • March 14, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This is RDBMS that i use the most. I like the performance and and also hstore.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its relational database, its not specific to postgres. But when im working in research project i will not use RDBMS because in research schema change often.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly transactional data and when i need to use RDBMS postgres always be my first choice

The system scalability, and capability for big data
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to create a data management system.

The only RDBMS you will need

  • March 13, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Highly extensible, several PL implementations, easy to write stored procedures if you already know python, perl or C because it implements them as procedural languages, tons of addons to extend its functionality, functional indexes to improve performance if you need to search by computed values and it makes it really easy to perform queries based on data stored in JSON fields and it supports master-slave replication natively.

It has a lot of tools to check the performance of your queries, the consistency and the health of your database and to collect garbage and clean up your database (EXPLAIN and Vacuum)

If you want a NoSQL data sture, Postgres also have you covered, you can try HStore.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is too large and has thousands of features, so documentation sometimes is outdated and you can get lost very easily if you don't know exactly what you're looking for
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data storage and retrieval with great performance and a lot of tuning options if you model your data correctly.

We could also migrate some logic to the DBMS layer to optimize our application performance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't use it as a simple data store, that way you won't see the performance improvements

Just another SQL tool.

  • March 11, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Really easy sql database to deploy and work with. Currently we are using it as a backend for a Alzheimer database repository.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was difficult at first o configure and setup at first. A lot of manual configuration and validation was needed to work with our particular project. But after we got it up and running, it did a great job.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Healthcare research and analytics. We have realized since it is easy to deploy an work with Spring tools and Google AWT, we tend to use it on various other tasks in our lab.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a great and free sql database tool. It works well with many persistent layer development tools such as JPA and Hibernate. It also works really well with Google toolbox too.

Awesome database with lots of great new features always coming

  • March 07, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I wouldn't consider myself to be a database expert, but from basic usage via Rails apps, I've been very happy with the features I have used. Full text search, custom data types (json, arrays, etc), performance optimizations, extensions (like Postgis for spatial data), sharding and partitioning support... I've mostly interacted with Postgres via ActiveRecord though. Been very happy with it in multiple production instances across apps of all sizes (from tens of users to tens of millions).
What do you dislike about the product?
When I first started using Postgres it wasn't well known so it was hard to find support for more advanced features... For instance RDS Postgres didn't support replication for a while... That's all been solved now though. I've been very happy with it in the last few years.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Postgres as our main database at my current company and have used it at my previous few as well. It's a great RDBS with a lot of support and some really cool features, and new ones being added all the time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want an awesome RDBS and have experience with SQL, I highly recommend checking out Postgres. The barrier to switching is very low if you're coming from any SQL database, so you might as well give it a shot.

Fantastic, stable RDBMS for large or small projects

  • March 02, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Fast, extremely scalable, in active development, easy to learn and use, complies with SQL standards, and can handle large GIS data sets with PostGIS.
What do you dislike about the product?
Upgrading minor versions is sometimes a pain with the PostGIS extension. We occasionally have to dump and reload the entire database to get things working without losing data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My company's product uses GIS data heavily. PostgreSQL (with the PostGIS extension) makes it a breeze to cut through large data sets. Recent versions have also allowed us to handle data warehousing using materialized views, which dramatically increases responsiveness to the user.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend keeping separate data directories for each minor version. (E.g., 9.3, 9.4, 9.5). This makes upgrading the database much easier (and possible to rollback if something goes wrong). The old data directories can be deleted afterward.

A reliable and well-supported choice

  • March 01, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Relational database
Key-value storage
Full text search
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're in Rails and on Heroku, it should be the option to beat.

SQL that escalates and does not hurt.

  • February 10, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Postgresql is an sql engine that supports a huge load of transactions and has a great community support, the documentation is wide and implementation is not as hard as some people claim, plus it's supported on most today cloud service providers.
What do you dislike about the product?
If one comes from mysql or sqlite, postgres can be a bit difficult, specially with the database and table specification, but this depends on the SO too so this can be a problem for some and not a problem for others. A lot of the old classic shared hosting providers still don't support postgres.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storing Data is the main goal when you need a database. And postgres does that just right. Mysql falls when managin huge loads of data, but postgres has a nice optimization which allows for a larger data load, and this is the reason a lot of people migrate to pgsql.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn the migration path if you come from other sql engines. Other than that. The documentation is enough for setting things up.
