Database Engineer at a tech vendor with 1-10 employees
Centralized management has reduced database overhead but pricing and documentation have needed work
What I appreciate about EDB Postgres Advanced Server is that it offers management tools such as PEM and CNPG under one umbrella, providing enterprise features that eliminate the need for multiple engineers to maintain PostgreSQL databases, although it is somewhat expensive. I evaluate the technical support and customer service of EDB Postgres Advanced Server as really good, as I have sought their help three to four times regarding issues with PEM configuration, and they respond quickly and solve issues promptly. I would rate the technical support of EDB Postgres Advanced Server an 8 out of 10. EDB Postgres Advanced Server's high availability and disaster recovery features, specifically the introduction of CNPG based on Kubernetes, are good, but they require significant infrastructure overhead, which I believe necessitates a lightweight integration model for better performance. I rate the efficiency improvements from EDB Postgres Advanced Server a 10 out of 10 when it comes to Oracle compatibility. Its native support for Oracle's PL/SQL syntax makes evaluating and migrating legacy workloads incredibly smooth, bypassing the typical headaches of manual code rewrites.

The integration between data warehouse could be improved. Nowadays, a lot of data is getting generated, so certain ETL flexible scripts with backend database integrations would be an improvement I could see. I will not be able to clearly say there is currently a deficiency there. All our DBs are integrated with a backend data warehouse, not necessarily AWS. When third-party data warehouses are integrated, we are seeing some ETL job performance issues. It is a one-off scenario so we have not thoroughly done any troubleshooting on that. It could be platform or third-party related issue. From the AWS standpoint, if robust integration and data warehouse integration specific tools are added in the advanced suite, that would definitely be helpful.

Pros

"What I appreciate about EDB Postgres Advanced Server is that it offers management tools such as PEM and CNPG under one umbrella, providing enterprise features that eliminate the need for multiple engineers to maintain PostgreSQL databases, although it is somewhat expensive."
"I rate EDB Postgres Advanced Server's stability an eight out of ten."
"The low cost and functionality allows us to save money on smaller database projects."
"EDB Postgres Advanced Server has positively impacted my organization by being cost-saving compared to databases such as Oracle, while providing smooth performance that simplifies production operations with less downtime and effort, especially in a cloud environment where we can utilize containerized services."
"Postgres is highly compatible with many software and programming languages. Its compatibility is excellent, covering nearly everything related to data engineering or migration."
"The number of indices available in Postgres is remarkable."
"Cost/benefit wise Postgres is a great solution."
"The backup utility tools such as pg_restore and pg_dump are really convenient and efficient tools to handle backup and recovery."
"My advice for anybody who is considering MongoDB is that when we want to have flexibility in storing our data, I recommend using it."
"The tool is also user-friendly."
"We put MongoDB on AWS for a specific project, and it's easy to use."
"The fact is all of our users are happy with the stability and quick response times our solutions have."
"MongoDB's best features are scalability, document management, and data security."
"MongoDB is extremely developer-friendly because when you are starting, there is very little time needed upfront in terms of planning."
"The stability of the solution is very good, there are no bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, and it's pretty good overall."
"One of the most valuable features of MongoDB is it is Its open source."
 

Cons

"The product currently fails to offer a mobile application."
"For improvement purposes, I think EDB Postgres Advanced Server needs some enhanced monitoring since the current default monitoring is not sufficient; an EDB monitoring tool could provide useful metrics to help end users avoid production issues."
"The security is not very robust and the product would be much more useful with more security options."
"I have faced performance issues in the community edition."
"There aren't specific new features we wish to add."
"An area for improvement in EDB Postgres Advanced Server is JSONB querying. It would be nice to have even stronger JSONB support from the solution."
"From a pricing perspective, I do not find it cost-effective from DBtune's SaaS perspective as we are just testing it, but for enterprises, it is worth it as you do not require many engineers for management and receive good support."
"The system is aging and not keeping up with the performance of new, enhanced database models."
"The improvements could be made to intelligence to detect disk storage and prevent MongoDB from crashing."
"So I would say our compatibility and performance are the two things that came up that I know in the project we had problems with."
"More stable indexes would be helpful in a future release. That's been an issue for some time. I don't know if it's been fixed now but we transitioned to it because we needed a search index to be able to search for things and if that goes or starts disappearing, we have to move away from that solution. I don't know if they fixed it, last time I had this issue was three years ago so they might have solved it."
"Data encryption is possible using third-party tools but they should have their own encryption capability built-in to this solution."
"The auto transaction feature is something that I found a little bit problematic. If we want to run two or three transactions at a time, we get write conflicts. So, it becomes really difficult when concurrency comes into the picture."
"I'd like to see an ID generator. It's very technical but I don't think it has one, so we have to go to great lengths to work around that."
"It could be much more flexible like SequoiaDB. I would like to see more flexibility in the next release, especially when working with Microsoft Windows. A lot of people struggle with MongoDB because of their Windows versions. But Linux is faultless and mostly runs nicely."
"The on-premises version of the solution is still pretty expensive, especially compared to the cloud version."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is significantly lower than competing products."
"It is an open-source product."
"I have been working on the community edition."
"The product is either free with community support or very inexpensive with a small yearly fee for paid support."
"EDB Postgres Advanced Server is open source, so I don't pay for licensing."
"MongoDB is not expensive."
"The pricing is favorable if you opt to install MongoDB on an Amazon EC2 instance as you won't have to pay for the extra Atlas services and can instead manage the scaling yourself. This allows for a cost-effective solution and using MongoDB on a small scale, I have been able to utilize it for free."
"This is an open-source solution."
"MongoDB is an open-source product."
"I believe that the licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"MongoDB's pricing is not reasonable, but it is not as expensive as the others."
"MongoDB has a free version. You can also buy the enterprise edition, which is cheaper than Oracle."
"We are using the Community Edition of MongoDB."
