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

The opensource standard for SQL databases

  • July 31, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I've been using PostgreSQL for many years, and although there are alternatives, I've found that for most use cases PostgreSQL is the RDBMS to go for.

It's not only because of its simplicity or its features. The main reason is that it is tuned to most workloads and you don't have to fine-tune or play with configuration files a lot: it simply works.

This really feels like the developers put a lot of care when designing the RDBMS engine and when choosing defaults. I still have to find a workload PostgreSQL is not suited for.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is not a complain, as I'm okay with the command line and fine using and configuring it through SSH in my servers, but a lot of colleagues find it difficult to do this. Most of them, accustomed to point-and-click solutions, or more mainstream databases, find it difficult to make the switch.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When there are applications that cannot be handled with standard solutions, I toss the data to a PostgreSQL database and give it a go. It is not the de facto database for my current company, but I use it when required, as SQL Server (the one we use the most) cannot handle some workloads.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't be amused by its complexity or lack of desktop applications for management. It is a really powerful RDBMS engine, and although it can have some rough edges, overall is one of the most powerful contenders (even against commercial and expensive solutions, like Oracle or SQL Server).

Easy to use RDBS that gets the job done

  • July 27, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It has a lot of integrations with products we use
What do you dislike about the product?
Editing existing data and modifying existing settings isn't as easy as other platforms in my opinion
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use many Atlassian products which recommend using PostgreSQL for their backend, so that's why we're using this.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
After switching to PostgreSQL, we realized there weren't really many amazing benefits over staying with a DB tech we were already familiar with. We still experienced bugs and had to run DB update scripts etc. It was just a little difficult because it was new to us then.

Open Source DBMS with vast community and Consistent Developments

  • June 30, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
One of the best open source DBMS available and a lot of community support in mailing lists, social platform etc
What do you dislike about the product?
Streaming Replication Not Possible across Different PostgreSQL Versions
Selective/Logical Replication is available in latest version 9.10. Still need some time for this feature to gain stability
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business Critical OLTP system implemented in PostgreSQL
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your application strongly dependent on some of the GIS features, PostgreSQL is the best option to consider

PostgreSQL is an excellent alternative

  • June 14, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Features, Open-Source, Extensibility, Programing Languages support, easy to install and maintain.
We are switching from Oracle and SQL Server to PostgreSQL for different use cases like Web development using .NET, Java and PHP, also we switch our Control-M application from Oracle to PostgreSQL too with and excelent result.
The short experience until now is awsome because the developers and DBAs dont suffered the change and the database performance for our use cases is really good.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like more features for auditing because the current solutions for audit actions and events doesn't meet our requirements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Application development in-house is now build using PostgreSQL, before we used Oracle and SQL Server.
License cost reduction without loosing professional support was the main benefit.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Yes, PostgreSQL is robust, easy to use and maintain and with an excellent set of features that compete directly with the biggest players like Oracle and SQL Server.

Excellent (and FREE!) Enterprise-Level DB.

  • June 02, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Several items: 1) it's FREE; 2) the ability to program functions and triggers in a variety of languages; 3) it is ACID-compliant which is extremely important to me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although it will run on Windows machines, it does seem (to me) that PostgreSQL is much more at home on a *nix computer. I had some strange access/permissions issues with some Windows directories/files whereas on Linux it was a non-issue. Your mileage may vary.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The NPO that I am assisting currently uses MS Access and has been doing so since circa 1992, with a very large number of data entry additions which were prone to error. Furthermore, their membership has grown from approximately 300 folks in 1992 to about 4,000 in 2017. This has made their existing setup a nightmare. I volunteered to normalize their data and streamline their data entry procedures with feedback from their current data manager with respect to possible refinements on the data entry forms. Essentially, we are implementing PostgreSQL as a back-end and because of the wide variety of tools available and its versatility, it should provide a large degree of DB future-proofing for the NPO.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is FREE!

Open Source, Well Documented RDBMS

  • May 20, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As a brand new user coming in with no SQL/database experience at all, I greatly appreciated the beautiful documentation of every single version of PostgreSQL at good ol' www.postgresql.org, especially the SQL commands reference.
What do you dislike about the product?
Slightly smaller community online, so for very specific issues, it may be more difficult to find help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Used it to efficiently manage large database of medical informatics data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely read the beautifully written online manual and use Stack Overflow to look up any questions. Some of the learning is just knowing SQL commands. Also, be careful of exiting and leaving processes hanging (I would have to contact the database administrator to get these hung-up processes removed because of permissions issues).
