SB
Database Engineer at a tech vendor with 1-10 employees
Centralized management has reduced database overhead but pricing and documentation have needed work
What I appreciate about EDB Postgres Advanced Server is that it offers management tools such as PEM and CNPG under one umbrella, providing enterprise features that eliminate the need for multiple engineers to maintain PostgreSQL databases, although it is somewhat expensive. I evaluate the technical support and customer service of EDB Postgres Advanced Server as really good, as I have sought their help three to four times regarding issues with PEM configuration, and they respond quickly and solve issues promptly. I would rate the technical support of EDB Postgres Advanced Server an 8 out of 10. EDB Postgres Advanced Server's high availability and disaster recovery features, specifically the introduction of CNPG based on Kubernetes, are good, but they require significant infrastructure overhead, which I believe necessitates a lightweight integration model for better performance. I rate the efficiency improvements from EDB Postgres Advanced Server a 10 out of 10 when it comes to Oracle compatibility. Its native support for Oracle's PL/SQL syntax makes evaluating and migrating legacy workloads incredibly smooth, bypassing the typical headaches of manual code rewrites.

Have managed customer transaction data efficiently and supported high-demand workloads with reliable performance
The integration between data warehouse could be improved. Nowadays, a lot of data is getting generated, so certain ETL flexible scripts with backend database integrations would be an improvement I could see. I will not be able to clearly say there is currently a deficiency there. All our DBs are integrated with a backend data warehouse, not necessarily AWS. When third-party data warehouses are integrated, we are seeing some ETL job performance issues. It is a one-off scenario so we have not thoroughly done any troubleshooting on that. It could be platform or third-party related issue. From the AWS standpoint, if robust integration and data warehouse integration specific tools are added in the advanced suite, that would definitely be helpful.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Postgres is highly compatible with many software and programming languages. Its compatibility is excellent, covering nearly everything related to data engineering or migration."
"Major reduction in run cost, and a quantum leap in the flexibility of deployment models Elimination of replication of transaction from reporting systems Able to do rolling upgrades with zero production downtime."
"It gives us a solid, less expensive alternative to deploying with Oracle."
"I rate EDB Postgres Advanced Server's stability an eight out of ten."
"What I appreciate about EDB Postgres Advanced Server is that it offers management tools such as PEM and CNPG under one umbrella, providing enterprise features that eliminate the need for multiple engineers to maintain PostgreSQL databases, although it is somewhat expensive."
"EDB Postgres Advanced Server has positively impacted my organization by being cost-saving compared to databases such as Oracle, while providing smooth performance that simplifies production operations with less downtime and effort, especially in a cloud environment where we can utilize containerized services."
"Cost/benefit wise Postgres is a great solution."
"I would highly recommend EDB Postgres Advanced Server to others."
"It is really a pretty easy product to use. It's very reliable, it's proven."
"MongoDB is stable; it's a good server, and if you install perfect hardware tools and follow best practices, it will be a good solution."
"MongoDB is extremely developer-friendly because when you are starting, there is very little time needed upfront in terms of planning."
"The geospatial index feature is useful for dealing with latitude and longitude data."
"I would recommend MongoDB because it is widely used by many organizations."
"The solution is a very dynamic product, it becomes extremely easy for us to support user requirements and we also make use of the simplicity of a cloud redeployment."
"The installation of MongoDB is straightforward."
"The feature I find most valuable is that it is easy to use and even a non-technical person will be able to understand it."
 

Cons

"The system is aging and not keeping up with the performance of new, enhanced database models."
"Postgres performance is suffering and the product model is not doing enough to keep current."
"The security is not very robust and the product would be much more useful with more security options."
"For improvement purposes, I think EDB Postgres Advanced Server needs some enhanced monitoring since the current default monitoring is not sufficient; an EDB monitoring tool could provide useful metrics to help end users avoid production issues."
"Lighter integration model for containerized deployment. Effectively, there still remain some issues with a containerized deployment, so we have opted for a non-containerized deployment."
"The product currently fails to offer a mobile application."
"I would like to see improvements in the performance, especially in large-scale operations, as it currently cannot match Oracle's performance."
"The lack of additional security features is really the thing that makes the product less useful."
"Lacks sufficient scalability and elasticity."
"I feel that most people don't know a lot about MongoDB, so maybe they could add some more documentation and tutorials."
"I think it's very expensive on the Atlas enterprise side."
"So I would say our compatibility and performance are the two things that came up that I know in the project we had problems with."
"More stable indexes would be helpful in a future release. That's been an issue for some time. I don't know if it's been fixed now but we transitioned to it because we needed a search index to be able to search for things and if that goes or starts disappearing, we have to move away from that solution. I don't know if they fixed it, last time I had this issue was three years ago so they might have solved it."
"I suppose it could be a little more secure."
"I think that MongoDB's search engine should be improved."
"It would be much more useful if I have an admin user and a password."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is significantly lower than competing products."
"It is an open-source product."
"EDB Postgres Advanced Server is open source, so I don't pay for licensing."
"The product is either free with community support or very inexpensive with a small yearly fee for paid support."
"I have been working on the community edition."
"MongoDB has a free version. You can also buy the enterprise edition, which is cheaper than Oracle."
"MongoDB is an open-source product."
"I believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"I only used the open-source version."
"I chose MongoDB because it is cost-effective compared to Oracle, which can be expensive. In addition, MongoDB has good performance and has not caused any issues while working with it. It has been a good choice for me."
"MongoDB's pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"The pricing is favorable if you opt to install MongoDB on an Amazon EC2 instance as you won't have to pay for the extra Atlas services and can instead manage the scaling yourself. This allows for a cost-effective solution and using MongoDB on a small scale, I have been able to utilize it for free."
