I use EDB for PostgreSQL mainly for managing enterprise-grade PostgreSQL databases in production environments. I really appreciate that EDB takes the power of open-source PostgreSQL and adds the stability, security, and support that businesses need. In our setup, EDB provides high availability and performance tuning. The failover and replication tools make it much easier to maintain uptime, especially for critical applications. The management and monitoring features save a lot of time because we can proactively identify performance bottlenecks instead of reacting after something breaks. We also use EDB for PostgreSQL alongside monitoring tools, backup solutions, and container platforms like Docker and Kubernetes for better scalability and reliability. It integrates with BI tools and CI/CD pipelines to streamline analytics deployments and overall database management. Oracle compatibility, lower licensing costs, strong high availability features, and enterprise-grade support were key factors in our decision to switch. The initial setup was fairly straightforward with good documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing can feel high, especially for smaller teams that may not fully use all the enterprise features. Some advanced configurations and replication setups have a steep learning curve and require strong PostgreSQL expertise. The management tools work well but could benefit from a more modern, streamlined UI and faster support response for non-critical issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about EDB for PostgreSQL is how it makes PostgreSQL enterprise-ready without losing its open-source strengths.

It adds strong features around performance, security, high availability, and monitoring, which makes PostgreSQL much easier to run in production environments. I also really like the Oracle compatibility, as it helps organizations migrate from Oracle to PostgreSQL with less effort.

Overall, it gives me the stability and support of an enterprise solution, while still keeping the flexibility and cost benefits of PostgreSQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about EDB for PostgreSQL is the cost. Compared to using community PostgreSQL, the licensing can feel expensive, especially for smaller teams.

There’s also a bit of a learning curve because EDB adds its own tools and features on top of PostgreSQL, which takes time to get familiar with.

Lastly, some features feel enterprise-focused, meaning they might be more than what’s needed for simpler use cases. It’s powerful and reliable, but not always the most lightweight option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Steep learning curve and configuration complexity. EDB suggests using an interactive Postgres tuning guide to fine-tune parameters like shared_buffer and work_mem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PostgreSQL is already probably the best open source RDBMS in the world in terms of performance. The only major benefit I find for Enterprise DB (EDB) is the 24x7 database support, which is great since the alternative is choosing RDS on AWS, with terrible support. You would at least know that your queries will be answered faster. Also, the guarantees of high availability is a nice feature, though this is present in other alternative solutions in the market.

Nothing much to dislike. It is essentially a nice to have wrapper around the already amazing postgreSQL. For mission critical workloads, EDB's solution offers a nice cheaper alternative to RDS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
