"Exploring PostgreSQL"
What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

PostgreSQL, or "Postgres", is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS).PostgreSQL, or "Postgres", is an open source relational database management system (RDBMS). It supports multiple programming languages, making it easy to develop applications using your preferred language. Unlike some other popular database solutions, such as MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL is 100% free and open source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

One major disadvantage of PostgreSQL is that it doesn't enjoy as much support from software companies as other database systems like Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle. This can mean that you may find it difficult to find commercial software that supports PostgreSQL and that integrates well with your existing system. Another issue with PostgreSQL is that it can be difficult to upgrade to newer versions. If your company relies on upgrading its database system regularly in order to stay competitive, then you may not want to choose PostgreSQL.Finally, some businesses may find that they need more features than what's offered byPostgreSQL when compared to other enterprise-level database systems. These features may include complex security controls, data replication and mirroring, and advanced performance tuning options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PostgreSQL is not suitable for using JSON-like data structures. Also, it's not always available to every server; you must install it explicitly. PostgreSQL has a relatively slow query speed as compared to MySQL database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Open-Source Relational Database Management System"

PostgreSQL is an Open Source Database that is used for mainly Relational database Systems. We are mainly using this database because of the microservice structure. And in microservices, we have a lot of databases and also it's open source so that is good for our organization. And it's an object-relational database the performance of the database is pretty good.

"Efficient and free"
What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

The best part is that it is free to use and open-source. The installation was super easy because there are plenty of guides available online. We have been using this to gather tweets, and it has made our job easier. Not only that, but it is user-friendly. It also allows for scalability, which is a bonus. As tweets are saved in json it is easier to go through them without anything crashing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

There is just one teeny issue and that is when you are trying to configure it, there can be some errors which can't be fixed. I was unable to find the solution till I Googled it and found it on a tech website which explained how to sort it out. This configuration issue occurred a year ago and it has yet to be fixed in the new release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid and reliable performance"
What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

For the most part PostgreSQL performs well and does not catch you out too often. Various tuning options and ways to analyse performance so is not too tricky to keep it working well as you scale vertically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

Lack of horizontal scaling options in the market make it tricky once you've either exhausted vertical scaling or are encountering issues with multiple read replicas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
