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."It is very easy to start working with the product."
"MySQL is a centralized RDBMS in itself, and you don't have the overkill of having the full Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server. It's ideal, and it helps with the developer console. It has three versions for developers. It's a very good tool for open source."
"The stability of the solution is very good. I wouldn't have used it for the past seven years if I was not satisfied."
"It's easy to use."
"The scalability of the database is absolutely guaranteed by the new features."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to use and implement."
"The product is easy to learn."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is data migration."
"One of the most valuable features is real-time data capture; it optimizes database performance. I think using real-time data capture reduces job running time and the amount of data sent at once with batch loads."
"It has completely met our needs. It works, and it is robust. We haven't had any problems with what PostgreSQL does for us and the way it does it. That's why we've been using it for so long. We understand it, and it does the job."
"The solution is quite stable."
"With the database, you can provide a multi-component at the same service with the same performance, scalability, or all those things."
"The community support and the open-source community for it are good."
"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 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 product is easy to use and works fast for relational databases."
"The tool’s stability must be improved."
"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."
"They could include more advanced features like clustering and replication in the Oracle databases."
"The user interface is not simple."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service's scalability is an area of concern that can be better."
"Sometimes, we face syntax issues with the solution."
"The support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues."
"There could be more courses where the people could learn more easily how to use the tool."
"The pricing could be better."
"I find it difficult to get connectors on the tool. For example, .NET has only one free provider in PostgreSQL. I need to pay the provider if I need something more sophisticated features. Other languages like PHP and Java have good community support. We need community support for .NET."
"The solution needs to improve the query, documentation, and JSON data functionality."
"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."
"We often find the solution's datetime datatype challenging."
"It needs more integration."
"As PostgreSQL is an open-source product, you do have to do a bit more configuration and management yourself."
"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."
