Highlights
The most valuable features are the price, stability, it is scalable and is used by our clients in small business environments, and it is a simple product to use.
The database has excellent performance.
It is easy to install and easy to manage. There is no license on it, so it is free. There is high compatibility with Oracle, and there are many tools for the migration of data from Oracle to Postgre.
Clustering will be the number 1 feature. It is also open-source so it is free. It can also be clustered, to allow fault tolerance.
With the database, you can provide a multi-component at the same service with the same performance, scalability, or all those things.
The product is quite flexible.
What I like is that it's quite powerful in terms of performance.
