"Robust PostgreSQL support with enterprise grade features"

5/5

What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

EDB provides a reliable PostgreSQL experience with extended enterprise tools like EDB Postgres Advanced Server. I specially appreciated the integration with tools like pgAdmin and support for Oracle compatibility. Their technical documentation and support response times were impressive during our migration phase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

Pricing for some enterprise tools can be expensive for small teams. Also, while support is strong, initial onboarding for complex configurations (like replication or migration) could benefit from more hands-on guidance or clearer tutorials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

PostgreSQL helps us manage large volumes of structured data reliably and securely without the high licensing costs of proprietary databases. It's solving key problems such as transactional integrity, high availability, and performance tuning for read-heavy workloads. With built-in replication features and extensions like pg_stat_statements and pg_partman, we're able to optimize queries, maintain uptime, and scale our applications more efficiently.

"Reliable, Powerful, and My Go-To Database"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

PostgreSQL is always my go-to option when beginning a new project. Being open-source, it allows you to cut costs while still offering impressive power and flexibility. A major advantage is its support for extensions, which lets you customize the database to fit your unique requirements. Additionally, PostgreSQL includes strong built-in security features, making it a reliable solution for projects ranging from small applications to large enterprise systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

The only aspects I’m not completely satisfied with are the process-per-connection model and the tendency for PostgreSQL to demand significant hardware resources, particularly when operating at scale. Despite these drawbacks, PostgreSQL continues to be one of the most reliable and flexible databases I have ever worked with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

PostgreSQL addresses the need for a dependable, affordable, and adaptable database solution for modern applications. It allows me to create everything from small prototypes to large-scale production systems, all without concerns about licensing fees, scalability limitations, or lacking essential features.
