I am a lecturer, and in universities, we use EDB Postgres Advanced Server to start with databases for practical purposes. I also assist with migrations, especially when clients want to migrate from Oracle to Postgres. So, while I am not a regular user, I am involved during migrations.

Since the initial cost of licensing is lower compared to Oracle, this is a benefit for our clients, particularly in the healthcare sector where I work with systems like the Visuraj Dashboard and appointment booking infrastructure. Maintenance is easier without needing third parties, thanks to EDB support.

The feature of vector database management for AI is quite interesting and impactful. Clients often compare it with other databases, such as ChromaDB. Additionally, the compatibility with Oracle is beneficial for middle—and lower-tier customers. EDB offers extensive support, low initial licensing costs, and comprehensive packages.

I would like to see improvements in the performance, especially in large-scale operations, as it currently cannot match Oracle's performance. Additionally, multi-tenancy architecture, microservices, and container-based architecture support are needed. Enhancements should be made in AI support and vector database features.

I have been involved with EDB Postgres Advanced Server in situations related to Oracle and Postgres migrations. It is not a continuous engagement, but I have supported the solution whenever needed.

Their technical support is quite good. Even for installation issues, support is readily available and competent.

Installation is quite straightforward and easy, unlike Oracle. It's simple, just taking five minutes.

EDB Postgres Advanced Server offers both processor-based and user-based licensing options. The cost is reasonable, particularly for middle and lower-tier customers, but there are hiccups when dealing with large enterprises whose data exceeds one hundred terabytes.

For high-end, large enterprises, we recommend Oracle as it offers better performance.

I recommend EDB Postgres Advanced Server for middle—and lower-tier businesses. Its ease of installation makes it beneficial from a learning perspective. However, due to performance issues, Oracle remains the best choice for high-end enterprises.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

There are no specific use cases associated with the product. For my personal use, I installed EDB Postgres Advanced Server. When I was learning about databases, I installed EDB Postgres Advanced Server, specifically when I was playing around with queries. I am not working on any use cases with the tool.

The solution's most valuable feature is the pgAdmin part, which includes a dashboard showing the metrics associated with Postgres.

The product currently fails to offer a mobile application. In the future, I want the solution to offer a mobile application, especially since you can access the services via mobile phone with all the service providers like AWS and others. A mobile application provided by the product can help a user to see the status whenever needed.

I have been using EDB Postgres Advanced Server since 2016 or 2017.

Until and unless you pump in a lot of data, you cannot figure out the tool's stability. For my usage, I don't see any problems with the product's stability. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten. You will get to know about the stability of the product only when you use terabytes of data.

I cannot comment on the scalability of the product since it can only be determined once the amount of data used in the product increases.

As it is an open-source product, I did not get any technical support.

The product's deployment phase is easy.

The solution can be deployed in five to ten minutes.

The solution can be deployed by myself.

It is an open-source product.
