4) Operational simplicity that makes day-to-day work easier for DevOps teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Complexity for Smaller Teams

While powerful, this stack can feel heavy for small development teams, simple apps without strict SLAs, or projects that don’t need fully Kubernetes-native database operations. In those cases, some teams end up spending more time on configuration and platform work than on building application features.

2. Steeper Learning Curve

Because it blends PostgreSQL internals, Kubernetes operators and CRDs, and cloud-native tooling, new users often need training or prior experience across all three areas. That combination can slow onboarding and make it harder to get productive quickly.

3. Resource Overhead

Running a full Kubernetes-native PostgreSQL setup (even with automation) generally requires more compute and network resources than a simple managed database, plus careful planning around storage classes, affinities, and node sizing. As a result, it’s not always the most cost-efficient choice for lightweight workloads.

4. Ecosystem Support Can Be Mixed

Although the Cloud native pg operator is solid, some third-party tools or monitoring integrations don’t work as seamlessly out of the box as they do with mainstream managed services (e.g., AWS RDS or Azure Database for PostgreSQL). Certain extensions or edge use cases can also require extra validation or tuning.

5. Vendor & Feature Expectations

EDB adds enterprise features, but those enhancements can come with licensing or support tiers, and the full benefit isn’t always free or open source. Teams evaluating “Postgres AI” features should carefully confirm what’s included versus what sits behind commercial plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about EDB Postgres AI for CloudNativePG is how seamlessly it brings enterprise PostgreSQL capabilities into a truly Kubernetes-native environment. It preserves the declarative, operator-driven model while adding production-grade features like advanced security, high availability, observability, and performance tooling. The integration feels natural rather than layered on, which makes day-two operations smoother. I especially appreciate the balance between open-source flexibility and enterprise support, enabling teams to scale confidently, modernize workloads, and run mission-critical databases in Kubernetes without sacrificing reliability, governance, or developer agility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside of EDB Postgres AI for CloudNativePG is the added complexity that comes with enterprise layering. While the additional features are powerful, they can increase operational overhead compared to running a lightweight, community-only PostgreSQL setup. Licensing and pricing may also be a concern for smaller teams or startups that don’t need advanced enterprise capabilities.

There can also be a learning curve when integrating advanced security, observability, or performance tooling into existing Kubernetes workflows. For teams already comfortable with pure open-source stacks, the shift toward a more platform-driven approach may feel heavier than necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like EDB Postgres AI because it feels practical. You get trusted Postgres plus better performance, smarter insights, easier tuning, and fewer surprises in day to day work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downside of EDB Postgres AI is it can feel complex at first. There is a learning curve, some features feel overkill, and costs and setup can add friction early on Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We do not need to setup another VM for each Workload requiring a Relational DB. Setting up a EDB CNP is really easy now. Just by the input of some basic properties the operator spins up a Postgres Cluster on it's own and in combination with the ClusterImageCatalog patching the Clusters is very easy since the operator is conducting a rolling restart of the pods on its own on updating the Catalog. We also like the many options the Operator already provides in configuring the Postgres Cluster.

Cudos also to the Operator which has become much more stable since we started initially ~2 years ago. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are still missing major upgrades on the Clusters in a user friendly way. I know there is progress on EDB's Development making customers life more easy, but we are still eagerly awating it. The current solution based on replicating data to a new cluster with a higher major version is far to complicated and time consuming for a bunch of Clusters.

Besides we are missing the ClusterImageCatalog formerly provided here https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EnterpriseDB/docker-postgresql/refs/heads/main/image-catalogs/ClusterImageCatalog-ubi9.yaml

It was very handy to pull this Catalog and apply it to the Cluster using Terraform and with that triggering the operator to patch all Clusters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are using the Native Postgress SQL in order to store and processs the Data from our CAQ Softare and distributing the Data to other system like ERP & MES . We are using this approach for years on many clients and never had problems or unscheduled downtimes. From another technical point of view it supports a high number of Datatypes which is highly benetfitial for builduing bunsiness rules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quality has its price. I wish there would be a Price adjustment especially when we have a lot of subscription. Other than that there is nothing I can complaint about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The sequential operation of the operator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can integrate it directly with the kubernates API server for HA architecture without the need for an outside tool. I can also deploy replicas of PostgreSQL over multiple Kubernetes clusters to enable either public or multi-cloud architecture.

EDB cloud-native PostgreSQL is very extensible I have been able to scale it either up or down depending on the need at the time. I also love that it is so powerful; it is what attracted me to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything about EDB cloud-native PostgreSQL has been quite satisfying except that configuring a service to avail Postgres through TCP for apps residing outside the Kubernetes is a bit challenging, making more tutorials on that would help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Postgres edb cloud native is early easier to use and has good user interface to use to help in gyood management if database. U like it's capability to support different languages without limitation.

You can define you own function to enhance in data storage. It has support huge data hence is favorable to every company Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Postgres adb cloud native has been the Best and effective tool for database Managemrnt. It has never failed me and provide expected results.

The features are superbly incorporated and easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have enjoyed every moment working with adb cloud native. It has been easier to use and learnvasvlong I am concerned. Has enabled me to develop and design proper database using fantastic features incorporated inbtuis tool.

Has an interactive userbintertace with content placed well for easier management of database.

It is open source hence one can get it and try it. It support different programming languages hence doesbnot limit developers and database administrator achieving their intended purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For all that period I have been working with this tool, it has showed greatness in all my database management and development. It has never failed me even a single minute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
