One use case is that we installed it and built it for a customer so that he has access to the database, and he can create whatever he would like to create on it.
We have deployed it on-premises and in the cloud.
One use case is that we installed it and built it for a customer so that he has access to the database, and he can create whatever he would like to create on it.
We have deployed it on-premises and in the cloud.
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.
It still needs to be more mature and have some backup feature. We are normally dealing with Oracle's data, and we have very strong online tools to back up the data and do other things. PostgreSQL still needs to do more in this area as well as in the high availability area. There are many external tools that you can use for PostgreSQL's high availability, but there is no embedded tool within PostgreSQL for high availability.
It could have a feature similar to Oracle for working on a distributed system. It can have some scripts to improve the monitoring and some tools to do performance analysis. We have a workaround for most of such requirements except for the support for a distributed system, which is very difficult to have. This area should be included in the core of the database itself.
I have been using this solution for almost one year.
I didn't have any issues, but I think Oracle is more stable.
I didn't have experience with that because we didn't make any changes since we built it. All I have is one server, and I can only have one standby, nothing more.
We didn't contact them. We didn't face any serious issues that required support.
I am also using Oracle Database. The main difference is the scalability. PostgreSQL could be used for small to medium databases but not for a huge production database. I still prefer to have Oracle Database.
The initial setup was straightforward. It did not take too long. It took maybe one hour to do the installation.
It is free. There is no license on it.
Go ahead and implement it. It is a nice product, but keep a backup and try to use it for small to medium projects or companies. Some of the customers are demanding PostgreSQL nowadays, so we will keep on implementing it.
I would rate PostgreSQL an eight out of ten.
We use PostgreSQL as a database, e.g. it's where we install the application. We also use it for all types of batch processing, and it also has the batch sequencing engine. We use it for everything, e.g. everything's right there in the database.
What I like most about PostgreSQL is its ease of management.
They should make PostgreSQL more secure. It's stable, but from a security point of view, it still needs improvement.
It's been a few years since I started using PostgreSQL.
PostgreSQL is a stable solution. It's also very easy to manage.
PostgreSQL is scalable.
Installing PostgreSQL was straightforward. There were just a few parameters I needed to get through, then the process became straightforward. I was able to do the installation myself.
I did the implementation of PostgreSQL myself, and did not need a vendor or technical team to help me.
PostgreSQL is for personal use, e.g. I've been using it for my applications. It's deployed on cloud.
I'm not from the core database team, so whatever features are currently provided by this solution, I'm happy with them, e.g. PostgreSQL is fulfilling my needs. Our database administrators will be able to provide more information on areas for improvement for this solution, because they know all the ins and outs of the database. I'm using this for my application, and I have not faced any issues with it.
I'm part of a global company, and in our team, we keep recommending PostgreSQL to our client, but increasing the usage of this solution depends on the client, e.g. the one who pays.
We have more than 200,000 users of PostgreSQL.
In my project, I don't need a technical team for the deployment and maintenance of this solution, e.g. I can do it myself, but for other projects, deployment and maintenance could be handled by database administrators.
On a scale from one to ten, I'll rate PostgreSQL seven out of ten.
This is an open-source solution, operates at a high speed, and supports more than one SQL language.
It integrates with different platforms, the upgrades are quite fast and the solution keeps getting better.
This solution could be better integrated with other systems.
I have used this solution for four years.
This is a stable solution.
This is a scalable solution.
We have not needed much help from the customer service team. When we have had questions, we have found the answers on Google.
We previously used Microsoft SQL.
The initial setup is straightforward and took less than one day.
This is an open-source solution and there is no need to pay for a license.
We recommend PostgreSQL for our customers who want an open-source solution.
I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
Our primary use case for PostgreSQL is data storage.
As PostgreSQL is an open-source product, you do have to do a bit more configuration and management yourself. I would like to see it become more user-friendly.
I do not use PostgreSQL regularly but I have been running a project that has been utilizing it for six years. I head a tight-knit group that includes a front end developer, backend developers, and hardware people. They deal with PostgreSQL and I do not have hands-on experience with this solution.
PostgreSQL is stable and easy to use.
It is very scalable and comes with a bonus: no licensing issues as you scale with your databases.
Currently, 15 people use PostgreSQL at our organization.
I am satisfied with PostgreSQL's technical support.
The initial deployment was fine. If you read through the steps, you should be OK.
The licensing is fine. It is not a paid database license.
We deployed the Postgre database on CentOS, which is a version of Linux. We have experimented with our replication and other operations. It works perfectly well. We are using the open-source version and do not plan on using any enterprise database.
PostgreSQL could improve by adding data warehousing tools.
I have been using PostgreSQL for approximately eight years.
PostgreSQL is stable.
The solution is scalable, it is very good.
We have approximately 100 users using this solution.
There is a lot of community support online to help with many things, such as updates. The online support is very active.
The installation is straightforward and simple, it took only half an hour.
We did the implementation through an in-house IT engineer.
We have a team of approximately five engineers that manage the solution.
We are using the free version of PostgreSQL.
I would recommend this solution to others.
I rate PostgreSQL a nine out of ten.
This solution is very good and efficient in joining big tables. It also provides a lot of options that, from a developer's point of view, can be utilized in a project.
In the next release, I would like to see better integration with other platforms.
I've been using this solution for about three and a half years.
This solution is stable - I'm not aware of any performance issues.
This is a scalable solution.
The initial setup is simple - you are only required to download the installation files, which takes just a few minutes.
I would rate this solution as seven out of ten.
We use PostgreSQL as a database for our ERP system.
There are several features I would like to improve that aren't working as expected. It's likely that the latest version is doing something that was missed in the previous versions. For example, the output parameters — the stored procedures — is something new in PostgreSQL that Firebird has already had for a long time. We haven't tried the latest version, but they're supposed to add some of the most important things.
I've been using PostgreSQL for nearly 20 years.
PostgreSQL is stable. It's available, stable, and reliable.
Installing PostgreSQL is not so easy, and the installation takes about one day.
I rate PostgreSQL eight out of 10. I would definitely recommend it.
We use this solution for the back-end database.
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.
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.
I have been using PostgreSQL within the past 12 months.
I have found the solution stable.
The solution is scalable but it could improve.
We have approximately 10 users using this solution in my organization.
We are using the open-source version for eight years. We have to rely on our own skillset to manage it.
The installation is easy.
We did the implementation ourselves but it is always recommended to use an expert.
This solution can offer a cheaper choice for customers since it is open-source.
I have evaluated SQL Server.
If you have a startup company with a normal production environment then this PostgreSQL should be fine. However, if there is a professional environment where there will be some support requirements and mission-critical applications, then they should choose an alternative, such as SQL Server.
I would recommend this solution to others.
I rate PostgreSQLa seven out of ten.
