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 stability of the solution is very good. I wouldn't have used it for the past seven years if I was not satisfied."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to use and implement."
"The access to a suite of management and administration tools that simplify tasks such as database provisioning, configuration, and monitoring."
"The scalability of the database is absolutely guaranteed by the new features."
"It's easy to use."
"The product is easy to learn."
"The solution overall is very, very good. It's got good integration with other databases and adds new features often."
"It is very easy to start working with the product."
"It's quite scalable."
"Scalable, stable, and easy to manage database system, with a straightforward installation."
"We often use PostgreSQL for operations monitoring because we are a manufacturing company."
"It's a transactional database, so we use Postgres for most of our reporting. That's where it's helping."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"The initial setup is quick and easy."
"The solution provides complete support in terms of the SQL dialect and behaves nicely when it comes to transactions."
"The technical support is in need of improvement."
"The solution should offer memory management."
"It requires a significant amount of expertise and effort to manage, especially when dealing with substantial volumes of data."
"Improvement could be made in the workflow, particularly when it comes to making changes or implementing certain functions."
"In a production environment, upgrading from a lower to an upper version is a very long process that needs to be improved."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service's scalability is an area of concern that can be better."
"MySQL should have some kind of native query browser. If it could come with a built-in connector."
"The support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues."
"The user interface for the clients could be easier to use as they are small businesses. From a technical support perspective, the documentation could be improved."
"The user interface could be a bit better."
"PostgreSQL’s performance could be improved."
"The solution needs to improve the query, documentation, and JSON data functionality."
"It could be improved by using parallelization. You want basically, distributed computing."
"The database and applications can become very slow."
"Integration with other platforms could be improved."
"It would be good to have machine learning functionality in this solution, similar to Microsoft SQL Server and other solutions. Machine learning capability for a basic level or a common user would be useful. It can also have good reporting capabilities."
