Enhancing database learning with AI features and Oracle compatibility but needs performance improvements
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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature of vector database management for AI is quite interesting and impactful."
"The number of indices available in Postgres is remarkable."
"Postgres is highly compatible with many software and programming languages. Its compatibility is excellent, covering nearly everything related to data engineering or migration."
"The product is user-friendly."
"I like that EDB Postgres Advanced Server scales well. A valuable feature of the solution is multi-tenancy support. It also supports JSONB."
"I rate EDB Postgres Advanced Server's stability an eight out of ten."
"The low cost and functionality allows us to save money on smaller database projects."
"It gives us a solid, less expensive alternative to deploying with Oracle."
"MongoDB is easy to use."
"One of the first things I noticed when I had my first experience with MongoDB was how easy it was to use. I was expecting more difficulties or at least some challenges, but it was very, very easy to use. It's great technology, performs well, and is very convenient."
"MongoDB stores the JSON data, and it's easy for me to understand because I'm a JavaScript Developer."
"MongoDB is relatively fast compared to relational databases."
"The most valuable features of MongoDB are the variety of translations available and the ability to deploy it on the cloud is useful. The cloud users can access the data, work on the data, and if they want to import or manipulate some data they can."
"It is easy to set up."
"MongoDB's best features are scalability, document management, and data security."
"One of the most valuable features of MongoDB is it is Its open source."
 

Cons

"I have faced performance issues in the community edition."
"There aren't specific new features we wish to add."
"I would like to see improvements in the performance, especially in large-scale operations, as it currently cannot match Oracle's performance."
"The security is not very robust and the product would be much more useful with more security options."
"The system is aging and not keeping up with the performance of new, enhanced database models."
"An area for improvement in EDB Postgres Advanced Server is JSONB querying. It would be nice to have even stronger JSONB support from the solution."
"The product currently fails to offer a mobile application."
"The stability could be improved."
"They could provide more documentation and examples for adding pipeline stages."
"MongoDB can improve large-size video or media frame operations. There are a lot of customers who want to upload media frames and video games but there is some difficulty. In MongoDB, we are looking out for solutions that are for large-size media files that can be saved and navigated efficiently."
"It would help if MongoDB offered a light solution for small projects."
"MongoDB should better support small and medium companies. There are a lot of clients out there that are interested, however, they need something lighter and less complex and something not so expensive upfront."
"The auto transaction feature is something that I found a little bit problematic. If we want to run two or three transactions at a time, we get write conflicts. So, it becomes really difficult when concurrency comes into the picture."
"The performance can be improved."
"A normal Oracle or database tester will take some time to gear up to MongoDB because the way of writing queries is different in MongoDB. There should be some kind of midway where a person who is coming from an Oracle background can write a query and get a response by using something like a select * statement or other such things. There should be some way for MongoDB to interpret these commands rather than making a person learn MongoDB commands and writing them. I struggled while writing these MongoDB commands. I had not seen such queries before. It was pretty difficult to get them. This is one of the areas where it would help from the improvement standpoint."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is either free with community support or very inexpensive with a small yearly fee for paid support."
"Pricing is significantly lower than competing products."
"I have been working on the community edition."
"EDB Postgres Advanced Server is open source, so I don't pay for licensing."
"It is an open-source product."
"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."
"I'm using the free version of MongoDB."
"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."
"There are different licenses available to be purchased, such as individual, premium, or enterprise."
"I believe that MongoDB is free."
"This is an open-source solution."
"There is an annual subscription for the use of this solution."
"There is an enterprise license and it could be cheaper. We are using the free open source version."
