"The most valuable features of EDB Postgres Replication Server are the many in-built functionalities, such as streaming. When compared to others solutions it is highly secure and does not have any breakage in replication. The replication is very fast. Additionally, in other solutions, the databases need to have a lot of manual intervention but with EDB Postgres Replication Server it is not needed."

Cons
"If you are new to the product, the initial setup might be a bit difficult.""The main pain point that we experienced is during device creation. For every newly provisioned volume, creating replication relationships between production and DR site, creating snapshots for third copy at DR site, and configuring them in appropriate replication groups and device groups means that there are lot of steps involved and a lot of room for error. There has to be a lot of checks and balances which need to be incorporated to make sure that the solution is set up correctly."

"We tried to set up a reverse master-master set up, but currently, it is not available. it can be done only via logical replication using a paid version of BDR or some other technology. They allow like master-master. MySQL has already supported master-master and streaming."
