We performed a comparison between Faiss and PostgreSQL based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, PostgreSQL, Firebird and others in Open Source Databases."The product has better performance and stability compared to one of its competitors."
"I used Faiss as a basic database."
"It's a standard reliable database management system."
"The performance is good."
"The initial setup is quick and easy."
"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 often use PostgreSQL for operations monitoring because we are a manufacturing company."
"Scalable, stable, and easy to manage database system, with a straightforward installation."
"The solution is open-source and free to use."
"It's a transactional database, so we use Postgres for most of our reporting. That's where it's helping."
"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."
"There are several features I would like to improve that aren't working as expected. It's likely that the latest version is doing something that was missed in the previous versions. For example, the output parameters — the stored procedures — is something new in PostgreSQL that Firebird has already had for a long time."
"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."
"The pricing could be better."
"There are some products out there that have a slightly different method of implementation for the SQL language. Some of those are slightly better in some areas, and PostgreSQL is slightly better in some areas. I would probably like to match all of those products together. It is just down to the functionality. For example, Oracle has a number of options within SQL that are outside of what you would class as the SQL standard. PostgreSQL misses some of those, but PostgreSQL does other things that are better than what Oracle does. I would like to merge those two products so that there is a certain amount of functionality in a single product."
"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."
"We have to set up event API, which takes a lot of events from the user."
"It would be great if the solution offered even more integration capabilities."
"I had some issues when I integrated with the Jupyter Notebook."
