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.

Performant, reliable and scalable

  • December 19, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We use PostgreSQL in production since 8 years now, in a multi-nodes HA setup based on the built-in streaming replication. PostgreSQL is a great database, offering high performances and allowing to easily scale read-replicas with the built-in streaming replication.
What do you dislike about the product?
The major issue with PostgreSQL is the complexity of doing a major version upgrade with nearly zero downtime. Starting from PostgreSQL 10 this issue has been largely reduce thanks to the logical replication.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use PostgreSQL as main data storage for our online service.

Open Source DB which is equivalent to Oracle DB

  • December 15, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Almost all features / objects including Materialised views, Views, Functions, Procedures, etc., in Oracle DB are available in it and it is open source so no need to pay any licence cost for the database, conversion tool / plugin is available to migrate data from Oracle DB to PostgreSQL. With few syntax errors entire oracle database can be migrated to PostgreSQL.
What do you dislike about the product?
SQL editor is not good, it doesn't have SQL beautifier and other good productivity options. It should be improved similar to PL/SQL developer or Oracle SQL developer tool. Some of the objects / concepts - Sequence, Joins with (+) symbol, ROWNUM, SYSDATE, etc., in Oracle are not available in PostgreSQL.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Licencing cost
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Open source database which is equivalent to Oracle DB
