We performed a comparison between Oracle MySQL Cloud Service 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."It is very easy to start working with the product."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is flexible and is an open-source product."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is data migration."
"The product is easy to learn."
"The solution overall is very, very good. It's got good integration with other databases and adds new features often."
"The product is good for tuning."
"The stability of the solution is very good. I wouldn't have used it for the past seven years if I was not satisfied."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service handles data easily."
"This is an open-source solution, operates at a high speed, and supports more than one SQL language."
"The product is very similar to the SQL Server."
"The initial setup is quick and easy."
"The tool is user-friendly."
"It is easy to install and easy to manage. There is no license on it, so it is free. There is high compatibility with Oracle, and there are many tools for the migration of data from Oracle to Postgre."
"The database has excellent performance."
"It has completely met our needs. It works, and it is robust. We haven't had any problems with what PostgreSQL does for us and the way it does it. That's why we've been using it for so long. We understand it, and it does the job."
"The product is easy to use and works fast for relational databases."
"They could include more advanced features like clustering and replication in the Oracle databases."
"The support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues."
"The technical support is in need of improvement."
"The product has many bugs."
"The tool’s stability must be improved."
"In a production environment, upgrading from a lower to an upper version is a very long process that needs to be improved."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service's scalability is an area of concern that can be better."
"Integrating business intelligence or NLP solutions would help us save time and would prevent us from having to take a deep dive. Data problems seem to multiply on the system when you interact with it. Automation would save a lot of man-hours."
"It is possible that in the newer version this has been addressed, but I would like the deployment in microservices architecture could be improved."
"We have to set up event API, which takes a lot of events from the user."
"A better graphic user-interface would be nice to see."
"It needs more integration."
"The user interface could be a bit better."
"Integration with other platforms could be improved."
"The database and applications can become very slow."
"When you get a large number of records in a database and start doing various queries, it can adversely impact the performance of the live running systems. That's an area we continue to look at and mean to improve, but it is not only because of PostgreSQL. It is also because of the way the schemas are put together, and certain events are triggered. So, it is because of both parties."
