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 product is good for tuning."
"The scalability of the database is absolutely guaranteed by the new features."
"The solution's performance is good."
"The solution overall is very, very good. It's got good integration with other databases and adds new features often."
"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."
"It's easy to use."
"The built-in code procedural language is the most valuable. It has a built-in layer for code procedures. Its installation is very easy and quick, and it is free. It is also stable, and its performance is also good."
"The tool is user-friendly."
"We often use PostgreSQL for operations monitoring because we are a manufacturing company."
"It is very scalable and comes with a bonus: no licensing issues as you scale with your databases."
"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."
"PostgreSQL is very easy to use. I have experience in Oracle SQL and PostgreSQL uses the same syntax which makes it is easy for me to develop."
"It is a pretty comprehensive database system. Its performance is good, and it does what it is supposed to do. It also integrates very well."
"Initial setup is simple."
"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."
"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."
"They could include more advanced features like clustering and replication in the Oracle databases."
"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 product has many bugs."
"It requires a significant amount of expertise and effort to manage, especially when dealing with substantial volumes of data."
"I'm not really able to customize it."
"The solution needs to improve the query, documentation, and JSON data functionality."
"There could be a plugin to distribute the data on servers for the product."
"When you get a large number of records in a database and start doing various queries, it can adversely impact the performance of the live running systems. That's an area we continue to look at and mean to improve, but it is not only because of PostgreSQL. It is also because of the way the schemas are put together, and certain events are triggered. So, it is because of both parties."
"The solution could improve the integration."
"It could be improved by using parallelization. You want basically, distributed computing."
"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."
"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."
