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.

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.

"A great free and open source RDBMS tool for your database needs"
What do you like best about PostgreSQL?

- It's an open source and free platform for creating and managing relation databases, we used this for all our RDBS needs and since we are a start-up it saved a lot of cost for us in terms of being free and open source.

- It's easy to use and syntactically similar to popular databases like SQL and it helps anyone in the term to learn and quickly adept.

-It's easy to setup even if you are using this on a Google cloud, just do a SSH and you will be able to connect to the postgres instance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PostgreSQL?

The default user interface is not very feature rich and keeps disconnecting after some session time, there are tools which can be used deparately but if PostgreSQL can improve their user interface it'll be lot better. Even though I am used to command line tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
