"PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database"
What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

postgresql is highly secured.it has SSL certificates for encrypted connections which tells us how secure is it. you can give the accesss basd on role and define the custom rules.i like the perfomance of it in terms of how fast it is it provides you the facilities like indexing, query optimisation etc. so performance wise its beating its competitors in the market. its reliable and stable many companies use this in the production which tells us the trust of companies on its security aspects.its easy to use as a beginner anyone can understand it easily.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

its setp and configurations are little bit complex.when you will trigger big queries it occupies larges space so its kind of resource intensive so you may see sometimes performance scaling becomes the major concern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Awesome Relational Database management tool!"
What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

PostgreSQL is a great open source Relational database managent tool,it supports Query langueage which is way similar to famous SQL languages that means if anybody have ever worked on SQL then moving onto the PostgreSQL wont take much efforts.it supports all the major data types used in database processing and also gives security related features like role based access and authentication which is the most important feature because it is going to store the confidential information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

i have used postgreSQL locally and over a cloud enviroment, the setup was easy on cloud enviroment but i was continuesly facing a issue for very long time, it was throwing me out of the current session for no reason, i was not able to identify the root cause of this problem but this is something any user wont want to face when he is working on database or storage related tool. locally i have found no issue at all.

"PostgreSQL: A Balanced Assessment of Its Strengths and Challenges"
What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

PostgreSQL is recognized as one of the most advanced and robust open-source relational database management systems available.

Strengths:

Open Source: Being under an open-source license allows the community to actively contribute to its development, which accelerates the introduction of new features and fixes.

SQL Compliance: PostgreSQL offers a high degree of compliance with the ANSI SQL standard, which facilitates migration from other database management systems.

Extensibility: PostgreSQL supports the definition of custom types, functions, and operators. This allows developers to expand its capabilities according to specific needs.

Advanced Features: It offers advanced features such as the ability to store JSON data, support for full-text search, partitions, triggers, materialized views, and geospatial extensions (PostGIS).

Security: It offers a variety of security mechanisms, including authentication, role-based access control, and encryption of data at rest and in transit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

Performance Under Extremely High Loads: Compared to some commercial solutions, PostgreSQL may not be as optimized for extreme load scenarios, although for most applications, it is more than adequate.

Management Tools: While PostgreSQL has PgAdmin as its main graphical interface, it may not be as refined or as feature-rich as some commercial tools available for other database management systems.

Replication and High Availability: Although PostgreSQL offers solutions for replication and high availability, the configuration and management of these solutions can be more complex compared to some integrated commercial solutions.

Documentation: Although PostgreSQL's documentation is comprehensive, it can be dense and sometimes difficult for beginners. It could benefit from more practical tutorials or usage examples.

Complexity: Due to its extensibility and wealth of features, PostgreSQL can be perceived as complex for new users or for those coming from simpler solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
