We performed a comparison between Milvus and PostgreSQL based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Open Source Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Milvus has good accuracy and performance."
"The solution is well containerized, and since containerization is quick and easy for me, I can scale it up quickly."
"The best feature of Milvus was finding the closest chunk from a huge amount of data."
"It's a useful solution, that can be widely used."
"The PostgreSQL database is similar to the SQL Server but has a slightly different technology that has similar resources as well. If the customer has the confidence using SQL Server, they will be fairly comfortable using this solution."
"It is easy to use."
"It is very simple to manage."
"Initial setup is simple."
"The solution has many valuable features such as it easy to use and the interface is intuitive."
"With the database, you can provide a multi-component at the same service with the same performance, scalability, or all those things."
"It's a standard reliable database management system."
"Milvus' documentation is not very user-friendly and doesn't help me get started quickly."
"I've heard that when we store too much data in Milvus, it becomes slow and does not work properly."
"Milvus has higher resource consumption, which introduces complexity in implementation."
"We often find the solution's datetime datatype challenging."
"PostgreSQL is a stable system, but from a security point of view, it still needs improvement."
"It could be more secure."
"The scalability is limited."
"PostgreSQL could improve by being more user-friendly. In SQL Server they have a studio where you can easily do management but not in this solution."
"Sometimes, the views create problems. If you don't have the view, sometimes what happens is you need to have the drivers properly set up for PostgreSQL."
"PostgreSQL could improve by providing a geographical solution for tracking trucks and people in the field. They might already have features similar to this and I have not found them. I haven't done research about this topic."
"Sometimes, it becomes slow because of the network. So, there is room for improvement in performance."
