We performed a comparison between Faiss 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."I used Faiss as a basic database."
"The product has better performance and stability compared to one of its competitors."
"It is very scalable and comes with a bonus: no licensing issues as you scale with your databases."
"We managed to reduce the storage space needed to 10% of the original size, without affecting data integrity, and we significantly improved the performance."
"PostgreSQL makes it very adaptable to several descriptions of a record. Instead of having several tables or several relations for one entity, I can adapt this entity. It can be a multiform entity. For example, here in Mexico, a company and a person can be sold to us as a physical entity or a physical person."
"We are able to create many different types of jobs and items with this solution making it one of the most valuable features."
"The database has excellent performance."
"We often use PostgreSQL for operations monitoring because we are a manufacturing company."
"The main value is that it is open source, which means it is free. Our organization has the initiative to go to open source to cut down on cost. Oracle costs us $6 million a year right now, which is killing us, and Postgres costs nothing. So, there is a big push to go to Postgres."
"The product is easy to use and works fast for relational databases."
"It could be more accessible for handling larger data sets."
"It would be beneficial if I could set a parameter and see different query mechanisms being run."
"PostgreSQL could improve by adding data warehousing tools."
"They need to improve the user experience of the management."
"It is possible that in the newer version this has been addressed, but I would like the deployment in microservices architecture could be improved."
"Sometimes, the views create problems. If you don't have the view, sometimes what happens is you need to have the drivers properly set up for PostgreSQL."
"It needs more integration."
"PostgreSQL could improve by providing a geographical solution for tracking trucks and people in the field. They might already have features similar to this and I have not found them. I haven't done research about this topic."
"Sometimes, it becomes slow because of the network. So, there is room for improvement in performance."
"I have noticed that user and access management should be improved."
