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.

Document data has streamlined prototyping and now supports secure cloud deployments
I use the cloud version of the product. MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is from MongoDB, though I also use DigitalOcean as a third-party provider. Maybe it's all more about preferences. I think MongoDB Enterprise Advanced has weak support on the ORM side, particularly if you're using Prisma. I think mostly the focus now on the tools we have is PostgreSQL. MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is not really used that much on our side for production. It's not really a weak point. It's more of a double-edged sword. If you like document-based management databases and you don't want any migrations, then you go to MongoDB Enterprise Advanced. If you want more secure databases, then you use SQL. On the account management and the way you secure the connection strings, I have utilized advanced security features with MongoDB Enterprise Advanced. I think it's very expensive on the Atlas enterprise side. But if you go to other providers of MongoDB Enterprise Advanced, such as DigitalOcean, it may be harder to set up, but they can save you money.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The backup utility tools such as pg_restore and pg_dump are really convenient and efficient tools to handle backup and recovery."
"The feature of vector database management for AI is quite interesting and impactful."
"I rate EDB Postgres Advanced Server's stability an eight out of ten."
"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."
"I would highly recommend EDB Postgres Advanced Server to others."
"This product has allowed us to reduce costs in some parts of our infrastructure without losing functionality."
"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."
"It gives us a solid, less expensive alternative to deploying with Oracle."
"The solution is stable and the performance is good."
"My advice for anybody who is considering MongoDB is that when we want to have flexibility in storing our data, I recommend using it."
"One of the most valuable features of MongoDB is it is Its open source."
"It is easy to set up."
"The aggregation framework is really good, allowing a developer to build very complex queries."
"MongoDB is fast and efficient."
"For people or businesses that are currently trying to put their feet in the industry, it is a good thing to start their career with MongoDB."
"Opting for MongoDB could be beneficial, especially for storing large volumes of records, even for transient data."
 

Cons

"From a pricing perspective, I do not find it cost-effective from DBtune's SaaS perspective as we are just testing it, but for enterprises, it is worth it as you do not require many engineers for management and receive good support."
"Postgres performance is suffering and the product model is not doing enough to keep current."
"The lack of additional security features is really the thing that makes the product less useful."
"The system is aging and not keeping up with the performance of new, enhanced database models."
"Setting up MySQL is slightly more straightforward than Postgres."
"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."
"I have faced performance issues in the community edition."
"The product currently fails to offer a mobile application."
"Lacks sufficient scalability and elasticity."
"I would recommend MongoDB as part of a template if anyone is considering free and open-source templating services such as LibreNMS, but as a standalone, I couldn't advise."
"We'd like technical support to respond faster to queries."
"MongoDB has a "heavy" architecture, which limits the scalability options."
"It could be more stable. It would be better if it were more user-friendly like Oracle, which is very easy. For example, creating an index is simple in Oracle. In MongoDB, it's quite challenging to do that. Performance could be better. It's fast and good, but you cannot put every application that you would like to in MongoDB."
"I'd like to see an ID generator. It's very technical but I don't think it has one, so we have to go to great lengths to work around that."
"The free tools, like MongoDB Compass, could be enhanced."
"We don't even know how to get ahold of MongoDB support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an open-source product."
"EDB Postgres Advanced Server is open source, so I don't pay for licensing."
"I have been working on the community edition."
"Pricing is significantly lower than competing products."
"The product is either free with community support or very inexpensive with a small yearly fee for paid support."
"MongoDB's pricing is reasonable."
"There are different licenses available to be purchased, such as individual, premium, or enterprise."
"I believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"MongoDB is a bit expensive compared to its competitors."
"The solution is open source, so it is free."
"At the moment, all customers are using the community version."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"I believe that MongoDB is free."
