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

"Cost/benefit wise Postgres is a great solution."
"I rate EDB Postgres Advanced Server's stability an eight out of ten."
"Postgres is highly compatible with many software and programming languages. Its compatibility is excellent, covering nearly everything related to data engineering or migration."
"It gives us a solid, less expensive alternative to deploying with Oracle."
"The product is user-friendly."
"I would highly recommend EDB Postgres Advanced Server to others."
"This product has allowed us to reduce costs in some parts of our infrastructure without losing functionality."
"The number of indices available in Postgres is remarkable."
"It is really a pretty easy product to use. It's very reliable, it's proven."
"MongoDB is cool; there is a difference between relational databases and newer databases like MongoDB, and MongoDB is scalable and fast."
"Migrating to MongoDB upgrades the IT environment and puts users in the NoSQL environment, which is faster."
"The fact is all of our users are happy with the stability and quick response times our solutions have."
"It is easy to use."
"The most valuable features of MongoDB are we have a lot of documentation and SQL-based applications that run on it."
"Its flexibility, and cost. It is reasonably priced."
"We can define security rules at the database level or the cluster level to grant or deny access to particular users."
 

Cons

"Setting up MySQL is slightly more straightforward than Postgres."
"I would like to see improvements in the performance, especially in large-scale operations, as it currently cannot match Oracle's performance."
"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."
"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."
"Postgres performance is suffering and the product model is not doing enough to keep current."
"The system is aging and not keeping up with the performance of new, enhanced database models."
"The security is not very robust and the product would be much more useful with more security options."
"The lack of additional security features is really the thing that makes the product less useful."
"Simplifying the aggregation framework would be an improvement."
"The on-premises version of the solution is still pretty expensive, especially compared to the cloud version."
"The transaction could use improvement. From MySQL, for example, you cannot create a transaction if you are reading and writing a document at the same time."
"I have found the solution difficult to operate as an administrator."
"The price can always be better. I mean, we are a big corporation so it is quite expensive for us."
"Lacks sufficient scalability and elasticity."
"There should be better integration with other databases."
"MongoDB should incorporate more features, particularly search functionality, and real-time communication capabilities, to improve the database and provide data listening services. Currently, we rely on the Atlas offering, but it would be fantastic if MongoDB could develop a new solution or updated version that includes these features within its internal database and driver. However, I am uncertain if this would be a viable or profitable move for them, and I am speaking from a mobile-centric viewpoint."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"EDB Postgres Advanced Server is open source, so I don't pay for licensing."
"Pricing is significantly lower than competing products."
"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."
"I have been working on the community edition."
"It's open-source."
"I chose MongoDB because it is cost-effective compared to Oracle, which can be expensive. In addition, MongoDB has good performance and has not caused any issues while working with it. It has been a good choice for me."
"We are using the Community Edition of MongoDB."
"MongoDB is a free solution. We wanted to have high availability and the subscription cost was quite expensive because the basic one is free and then when you want to have some other replications or other features you will need to pay money. Overall the solution is expensive."
"MongoDB is an open-source solution."
"There is an enterprise license and it could be cheaper. We are using the free open source version."
"MongoDB is an open-source product."
"MongoDB's pricing is not reasonable, but it is not as expensive as the others."
