What do you like best about EDB for PostgreSQL?

We use EDB provided PostgreSQL database software called “EDB Postgres Extended Server” which comes with data encryption at rest and other security and performance enhancements. Along with this we use PEM(Postgres Enterprise Manager) to monitor and alert all Postgres instances.

We also take technical support from EDB which involves any database related issues or troubleshoot replication and recovery problems as and when needed or discussing best practices, applying database patches from EDB repository to keep up with changing database versions.

"faster support and PEM as a good monitoring tool"

3.5/5

Support responds quickly, often very competently with some exceptions. In my opinion, PEM is a good tool, very clear, and you can see at a glance every morning which databases are causing problems and which are working. PEM is very user-friendly.

What problems is EDB for PostgreSQL solving and how is that benefiting you?

Complexity in Migrating from Oracle

Many organizations are locked into expensive Oracle systems. Migrating to PostgreSQL can be technically challenging due to differences in SQL dialects, procedures, and tools.

Benefit: EDB’s Oracle compatibility tools simplify migration, reducing cost and time while preserving application logic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"EDB"

5/5

What do you like best about EDB for PostgreSQL?

Fast. Using a database link and a foreign data wrapper to refresh data from a SQL server source is faster than the ETL tool I use. The ETL tool takes > 60 minutes to refresh the data. Refreshing the data using a database link in EDB Postgres and the foreign data wrapper for SQL server takes < 5minutes. The data from every data table is copied from the external SQL Server to EDB pstgres. Great support as well as EDB met with our team to review the set-up and provided feedback! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EDB for PostgreSQL?

Pulling data from a database link using an Oracle Foreign Data Wrapper into postgres and inserting the data can fill up the memory and the memory is not released upon a commit. Instead the memory is released upon the end of that session. This was an issue with using EDB Postgres but with some working sessions with the team at EDB, we figured out a solution that works.

"EDB for PostgreSQL-A Match Made in Digital Heaven"

4.5/5

What do you like best about EDB for PostgreSQL?

1. Support Organization - lets face it since Postgres is open-source, the support organization is the only thing that really matters. EDB support is top-tier overall.

2. Value-added utilities (EFM, BARMAN, etc)

3. Extensibility

4. Stability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EDB for PostgreSQL?

Depending on the support version you are using: EDB for PostgreSQL vs EPAS(Enterprise Postgres Advance Sever) the on-disk format is not compatible. That is something to consider as it is a little more difficult to go from EDB - EPAS(prioprietary) to EDB Postgres(Community) versions.

The fast lifecycle versions go out of support is a little aggressive for companies with large on prem-deployments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Responsive Customer Service"

5/5

What do you like best about EDB for PostgreSQL?

We utilize EDB RDBA Services and EDDB EPAS Support for our PostgreSQL DB operations. Their team is highly responsive to our needs and consistently resolves most tickets promptly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EDB for PostgreSQL?

We would appreciate more thorough due diligence from their staff when implementing changes, such as minor and major version upgrades. Occasionally, some steps are overlooked during dry runs in non-production environments, which hinders smooth rollouts in production and results in longer-than-expected downtimes.
