While Heroku Postgres is a highly reliable and user-friendly platform, there are a few potential downsides to be aware of. One is that the platform can be expensive, especially for businesses that require a large amount of storage or processing power. Additionally, while the platform offers many built-in features, some developers may find it limiting in terms of customization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about postgres is how easy it is to install it on your computer, where heroku gives you your credentials and you are already connected, you do not have to configure many things regarding ports, it is also very friendly with its interface with options that make it easy to make queries to your heroku tables, you can update and see in real time what is happening with the data and your tables and you can make any sql statement Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I don't like about heroku postgres is the fact that heroku gives you this compatible tool to communicate with your database made by heroku, there can be differences when you make your app in any programming language where you use frameworks that interact with the database engine and this as it is postgress some versions are updated when you upgrade your database to a paid one or another tier bigger than the one you had it becomes tedious to reconfigure if you change the version of postgress.

It is all already setup from heroku side, so you can easily deploy your application without having to worry about DevOps tasks, it is great if you are newcomer in the world of development Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Currently nothing to dislike here, the integration runs flawless in my opinion, heroku makes it so simple to use, also you can download postgreSQL pgAdmin 4 to view the data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

i have used it to develop 1 of the project and at the initial level i found it little inconvenient to configure on my local machine apart from that nothing is problematic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Taking backups and downloading on demand, automatic maintenance upgrades, point in time recovery and also the ability and also the availability of pg_bouncer is everything I could ask for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to upgrade a database plan without having to manually export and restore would be great. Especially if you decide to stay on a free plan while a new application is still in testing. Just an annoyance but not a deal breaker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- we can integrate the Postgres database with minimal configurations

- just one click upgrade to large size database without losing your data

- gives performance analytics matrix

- for the staging environment and test application provide a free tier so you don't need to worry about closing of testing applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- pricing for the production database is much higher

- Postgres version upgrade is a bit risky

- once you purchase a higher plan downgrading to lower plan risks your data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Heroku is known for its cloud features and services with the best user interface and easy to use service. Its free or trail feature to deploy your postgres database in this Heroku server is at it's best. Even though it is free to use for trail users its support and and services are very powerful and easy to deploy within few steps Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even though it has got its best in form of user interface it comes up with lot of non mandatory fields to configure for a simple configuration and it doesn't support more connections for trail users for one server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a must-try service for a company as well as new developers. It is free up to some extent, and the good thing is a free user can also create manual backups and export its data. Here many databases can be created, or even a user can reset the whole database whenever needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Heroku Postgres is a good one, so there's nothing to dislike. But the pricing of a database is high, and no automatic database backup functionality for free users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the best things I like is configuration is easy. You can also run a database console with different apps. The most helpful thing is to take database backup and erase and add a new database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't faced any issues right now. So all over, nothing to dislike about Heroku Postgres. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
