PostgreSQL is a great and powerful database system, used in the management of object-related databases, bringing great performances on concurrency, transactions, and schema controls.
At some point, we start having problems with very slow queries, and after some debugging we discover postgres decided to use the wrong index to perform the query plan.
PostgreSQL is by far the most user friendly and most advanced database system out of the top 5 popular choices.
And that makes it somewhat discredited when planning an application.
PostgreSQL is highly regarded for its robustness, scalability, and reliability, making it the perfect choice for businesses looking for a dependable and secure database.
Occasionally has a feature missing or delayed for want of development resources.
It is very robust and once set up it is easy to maintain and hard to break. PostgreSQL is completely free - there are no licencing fees of any kind, which makes it a great option for any project.
If your software requires over 10k transactions per second, you're gonna have to put in some serious work make Postgres scale. This is where Postgres becomes a pain to optimize.
ONTAP is an excellent storage management solution, but what really makes NetApp shine is their support. I've been thrilled with NetApp's support.
And our worse frustration is system upgrades. Through their support website, you can generate a detailed upgrade guide, but it’s 28 pages long, full of dozens of complicated CLI commands.
Creating flex clones is a great help in test or development environments. Also a great way to quickly and easily restore data.
It should not be this difficult. Other vendors have one click upgrades.
We’ve always appreciated having the options to connect to our data however we need (CIFS, iSCSI, NFS), and over the 6 years we’ve had it in operation, it’s been extremely stable & reliable.
Not very intuitive, and can be difficult to navigate. You need a separate VM for performance monitoring, and it is also cumbersome to use.
Good support and good custom runbooks that we were able to deploy across the engineering functional teams.
Very hard to set up and configure, moderate learning curve.
David Z.: My name's David, I'm a software developer in the audiovisual industry, and I would give PostgreSQL a five. We're using PostgreSQL to solve data persistence issues that we were having, as well as we're using it for business intelligence purposes to run various queries for our analytics and business intelligence divisions. What I like most about PostgreSQL is it's very easy to use compared to other SQL dialects, and very easy to deploy Docker containers. What I dislike most about PostgreSQL is that certain things like database vacuuming and other maintenance processes can be single threaded, which can cause a little more downtime than necessary.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
