We are primarily a service provider rather than a software developer, though we do have teams experienced in software development. We collaborate with an external provider to develop security and cybersecurity software. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. I would recommend using it. It has easy plug-and-play features. Even those without much database knowledge can try it out.
If you have big data or unstructured data, go with PostgreSQL. If you have a smaller amount of structured data, SQL Server offers very good performance. Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.
We do not use the product for web application development. The management decided to use the product. I recommend the tool to others. If the data format is okay, we will face no problem using the tool. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Postgres is a very performance-based database. It is an all-in-one tool. You can use it as an SQL database or as a NoSQL database. They do have a data type called JSONB. You can use some part of it in a hybrid NoSQL database or as a key-value-based DB. They do have a good number of plugins. So if they have to extend the capabilities, they have a wide variety of plugins. Depending upon use cases, you can use them. For example, to do some cron jobs, you have a plugin called pg_cron, and you can use PostGIS for geospatial applications. PostGIS is a very awesome thing to work with. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. PostgreSQL is an open-source enterprise-grade product and is available free of cost. The tool doesn’t have a big company behind it. The solution is very well documented and you can find a lot of information from the community. The solution is a good product compared to MySQL. People have been moving away from MySQL ever since it became an Oracle product. PostgreSQL can handle heavy loads. I follow some of the most important DBA professionals in the industry and they are using this product. This tool is a rock-solid product and the most advanced relational database software that is open source. Some open-source solutions have a restriction on the license but there are no problems when commercial applications use the solution. You cannot use a commercial product with open-source solutions that have license restrictions.

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.

I would absolutely recommend this solution if you're concerned about cost. It seems easy and straightforward. I would rate it a 10 out of 10. It is really great. It works amazingly well.

It is a very good RDBMS, and I'm quite happy with it. It does what it says, and it does it fairly well. I've seen some bits that are stronger in other products and some bits that are weaker in other products. My recommendation would depend on the requirements and the use cases. I would rate PostgreSQL a nine out of 10. It does its job adequately, and I am quite happy with what it does at the moment. You wouldn't hear a 10 from me for any database vendor at the moment.

We deploy the solution both on-premises and on AWS. I had my doubts about the functionality before joining this company, as it seemed very complex. It turns out that the solution is actually very simple to set up and we have it working all the time without any problems. It survives the network partitions, so we like this very much. My advice is that a person just try it and use it. For me, it beats out JSON and is superior to MongoDB. It works in a completely different way. But, overall, I would rather use PostgreSQL when it comes to starting and manipulating JSON and it boasts superior integrity and performance. Of course, there are specific things that MongoDB does differently. A person's mileage may vary, depending on what he wishes to accomplish. I rate PostgreSQL as a nine out of ten and I choose to knock it down a point only because it could use a better graphic user-interface.

The last one that we used is version 11 or something like that. I'm not sure if that's the latest version or not. Postgres is similar to Linux. It's designed for people who would know what they want, who would have to set up what they need, and they would use it, and they know that it's straightforward, so that other people cannot just go in and mess with it. I'd rate the product as a nine out of ten. I'd recommend the solution to other users.
We are not consultants to PotrgresSQL. We are usually consulted when it comes to using Microsoft MySQL Server, since we consider it to be quite robust and to have all the necessary support from Microsoft. Fewer than 10 percent of our customers make use of PostgresSQL. I would recommend the solution to others when when there is a desire to have projects and cost is a concern. I would rate PostgresSQL as an eight out of ten, although this owes itself to personal preference and not to low performance.

I would definitely recommend this solution. It is a very good database to have. It is also very good as compared to other tools. I would rate PostgreSQL a nine out of ten.
For anybody who is considering this solution, my advice is that it is better to do enough research on the specific database engine requirements. I highly recommend PostgreSQL with TimescaleDB extension for time-series data.

I would prefer programming languages to query languages. Scripting, for instance. If you have a relational database then you want to use PostgresSQL. I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it. It's suitable for everything we use. There was nothing exceptional from my perspective, but it did everything we needed it to do. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We're just customers and end-users. We generally use the last version, as we try to ensure all of our programs are the latest technology. Therefore, we generally use cloud platforms like Amazon or Microsoft, which is Azure. Whichever version is on the cloud, we generally use that version. That said, some of it is on the cloud and some of it is on-premise. In Turkey, we have some legal requirements that require some data to be stored in our country. We have to store it locally. Therefore, we can't use the cloud completely. I'd recommend the solution to other organizations. I would rate the product at an eight out of ten.

If you want one tenant, you can use MySQL. If you want a multi-tenant, I think Postgres is better. SQL on PostgreSQL is linked to Oracle. Oracle and Postgres is the same thing, the same language. You will not have a big change for the software developers to migrate from Oracle to Postgres. I would rate PostgreSQL 8 out of 10.

My advice would be to use PostgreSQL instead of MySQL because of licensing issues. Another reason is that Oracle may remove MySQL soon or add substantial costs to using it It may even turn into something like MariaDB, and then you would need to know if MariaDB and MySQL work the same? PostgreSQL really works well. There are a lot of other databases around right now, but PostgreSQL is the most popular. It is not like a hammer and a nail situation whereby it is the only thing you have to use. If you need a relational database management system, go for PostgreSQL instead of MariaDB or MySQL, then use it side to side. Can also consider other engines out there, like other NoSQL engines, perhaps. I would give it an 8 out of 10. PostgreSQL is not suitable for all types of applications, hence why I gave it an 8 instead of a 10.

I believe we are on version nine of the solution. It's one of the latest versions. I'd advise new users to maybe be aware of the syntax of the sentences of PostgreSQL due to the fact that it's a little different than SQL or Oracle. Overall, I'd rate the solution an eight out of ten. So far, we've been using it and we haven't had any problems.

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.
PostgreSQL is a versatile and reliable database management system commonly used for web development, data analysis, and building scalable databases.
It offers advanced features like indexing, replication, and transaction management. Users appreciate its flexibility, performance, and ability to handle large amounts of data efficiently. Its robustness, scalability, and support for complex queries make it highly valuable.
Additionally, PostgreSQL's extensibility, flexibility,...
