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

"The low cost and functionality allows us to save money on smaller database projects."
"The feature of vector database management for AI is quite interesting and impactful."
"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."
"Postgres is highly compatible with many software and programming languages. Its compatibility is excellent, covering nearly everything related to data engineering or migration."
"The number of indices available in Postgres is remarkable."
"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."
"The backup utility tools such as pg_restore and pg_dump are really convenient and efficient tools to handle backup and recovery."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Overall, MongoDB has helped manage and analyze attachment data."
"It stores historical data with ease. For example, if you are a healthcare member, then you will have multiple records of visits to the doctors. To store such data in Oracle Database, you have to create many records. You might also have duplication problems because your records are going in again and again, because of which the data warehouse and the maintenance cost will be huge. MongoDB is comparatively lightweight. It is a JSON extract. Once you define a schema and extract it, you can push all the relationships in any way you want. It is easier to define and get different types of transactions into MongoDB. It is also easier to set it up as compared to other solutions. MongoDB is a NoSQL database, which means it is a document DB in which you can store documents that you created in BSON. It is pretty fast in response. It is faster than relational databases because it does not define any primary keys, secondary keys, tertiary keys, and all those kinds of things."
"It's easy to add and remove things in MongoDB. You can alter the tables. MongoDB is faster at reading, slower at writings."
"Scalability seems good. I've never been even close to finding the limits. I've run a couple of notes of redundancy but I've never had any problems with scalability."
"It can handle a lot of files quickly."
"The solution does not hold data in tabular format like SQL does but rather clusters data so that it can link on a large scale."
"The fact is all of our users are happy with the stability and quick response times our solutions have."
"We are talking about a rapid activity and replication solution which serves our needs well."
 

Cons

"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 security is not very robust and the product would be much more useful with more security options."
"I would like to see improvements in the performance, especially in large-scale operations, as it currently cannot match Oracle's performance."
"The product currently fails to offer a mobile application."
"Postgres performance is suffering and the product model is not doing enough to keep current."
"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."
"It suffers issues ranging from data corruption to failing to delete temporary files which then necessitate us having to perform server restarts."
"The system is aging and not keeping up with the performance of new, enhanced database models."
"We'd like information about client onboarding experience and success stories. It would help to have something to show to internal stakeholders."
"I have found the solution difficult to operate as an administrator."
"Data encryption is possible using third-party tools but they should have their own encryption capability built-in to this solution."
"I rate the support from MongoDB a four out of five."
"Lacks sufficient scalability and elasticity."
"MongoDB could be more secure."
"It would be good to have scalability for clusters. For example, if we have three clusters, we should be able to increase to five clusters if required. I am not sure if such a feature is currently there. I hope there is good documentation for this."
"The documentation for MongoDB is not very good and should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have been working on the community edition."
"The product is either free with community support or very inexpensive with a small yearly fee for paid support."
"EDB Postgres Advanced Server is open source, so I don't pay for licensing."
"It is an open-source product."
"Pricing is significantly lower than competing products."
"The product is affordable."
"MongoDB has a free version. You can also buy the enterprise edition, which is cheaper than Oracle."
"MongoDB is a bit expensive compared to its competitors."
"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."
"MongoDB is an open-source solution."
"At the moment, all customers are using the community version."
"It's open-source."
"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."
