We performed a comparison between Oracle MySQL Cloud Service and PostgreSQL based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Open Source Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is flexible and is an open-source product."
"The scalability of the database is absolutely guaranteed by the new features."
"The most valuable feature is the data aggregation function."
"The solution's performance is good."
"It is very easy to start working with the product."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The product is good for tuning."
"The product is easy to learn."
"The solution is quite stable."
"PostgreSQL is very easy to use. I have experience in Oracle SQL and PostgreSQL uses the same syntax which makes it is easy for me to develop."
"It is very scalable and comes with a bonus: no licensing issues as you scale with your databases."
"I like that you can move any relational database from Oracle to PostgreSQL. I also like that it's pretty stable."
"It's quite scalable."
"The product is very similar to the SQL Server."
"Scalable, stable, and easy to manage database system, with a straightforward installation."
"The PostgreSQL database is similar to the SQL Server but has a slightly different technology that has similar resources as well. If the customer has the confidence using SQL Server, they will be fairly comfortable using this solution."
"The user interface is not simple."
"The product has many bugs."
"The technical support is in need of improvement."
"The solution should offer memory management."
"Sometimes MySQL does upgrades on the server. When we are still using the old server and when they integrate the upgrade, they don't carry along some of the old syntaxes. The versions don't sync."
"It requires a significant amount of expertise and effort to manage, especially when dealing with substantial volumes of data."
"Sometimes, we face syntax issues with the solution."
"Integrating business intelligence or NLP solutions would help us save time and would prevent us from having to take a deep dive. Data problems seem to multiply on the system when you interact with it. Automation would save a lot of man-hours."
"Instead of the installation agent downloading all the packages for the install, it should allow the user to download the packages separately on their own to do the install."
"It still needs to be more mature and have some backup feature. We are normally dealing with Oracle's data, and we have very strong online tools to back up the data and do other things. PostgreSQL still needs to do more in this area as well as in the high availability area. There are many external tools that you can use for PostgreSQL's high availability, but there is no embedded tool within PostgreSQL for high availability. It could have a feature similar to Oracle for working on a distributed system. It can have some scripts to improve the monitoring and some tools to do performance analysis. We have a workaround for most of such requirements except for the support for a distributed system, which is very difficult to have. This area should be included in the core of the database itself."
"PostgreSQL is a stable system, but from a security point of view, it still needs improvement."
"PostgreSQL uses high memory compared to its counterparts when a highly demanding load is involved, especially one that makes many concurrent connections to the database."
"Integration with other platforms could be improved."
"It could be more secure."
"If it was free to use, it would be the perfect solution."
"It is possible that in the newer version this has been addressed, but I would like the deployment in microservices architecture could be improved."
