SB
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This product has allowed us to reduce costs in some parts of our infrastructure without losing functionality."
"It gives us a solid, less expensive alternative to deploying with Oracle."
"Postgres is highly compatible with many software and programming languages. Its compatibility is excellent, covering nearly everything related to data engineering or migration."
"Cost/benefit wise Postgres is a great solution."
"The low cost and functionality allows us to save money on smaller database projects."
"The feature of vector database management for AI is quite interesting and impactful."
"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 would highly recommend EDB Postgres Advanced Server to others."
"For people or businesses that are currently trying to put their feet in the industry, it is a good thing to start their career with MongoDB."
"The installation is very stable."
"I value the API integrations."
"The solution has good flexibility and very fast performance for searching data."
"We are using real-time analytics and monitoring in MongoDB Enterprise Advanced; it is integrated—the existing advanced feature is integrated with our business analytics interface, and all the various business intelligence reports are generated from that."
"Easier to maintain the data with its document-based storage."
"The community is great if you have problem."
"We put MongoDB on AWS for a specific project, and it's easy to use."
 

Cons

"The lack of additional security features is really the thing that makes the product less useful."
"It suffers issues ranging from data corruption to failing to delete temporary files which then necessitate us having to perform server restarts."
"The product currently fails to offer a mobile application."
"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."
"I have faced performance issues in the community edition."
"There aren't specific new features we wish to add."
"I would like to see improvements in the performance, especially in large-scale operations, as it currently cannot match Oracle's performance."
"MongoDB should be more stable, and support should be more efficient."
"The stability could be improved."
"More stable indexes would be helpful in a future release. That's been an issue for some time."
"The price can always be better. I mean, we are a big corporation so it is quite expensive for us."
"MongoDB has a "heavy" architecture, which limits the scalability options."
"MongoDB could be more secure."
"The performance of the solution could be improved."
"Its security features can be better. Sometimes, my higher authority says that we are not going to use MongoDB because it doesn't provide that much security for the RDBMS or relational data that we use for transactions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have been working on the community edition."
"EDB Postgres Advanced Server is open source, so I don't pay for licensing."
"The product is either free with community support or very inexpensive with a small yearly fee for paid support."
"It is an open-source product."
"Pricing is significantly lower than competing products."
"MongoDB's pricing is reasonable."
"There are different licenses available to be purchased, such as individual, premium, or enterprise."
"You only have to pay for the paid version, not the open-source version."
"At the moment, all customers are using the community version."
"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."
"I don't know, but I have heard from people who procure it that it is much cheaper than Oracle."
"We use the open-source version, which is available to use free of charge."
"I believe that MongoDB is free."
