Provides enhanced functionality but the technology is aging

What is our primary use case?

We have around 170 data centers around the world. We deploy our projects based on the use case and requirements and the projects can vary. Most of those deployments for Postgres are for engineering purposes.

Pros and Cons

"It gives us a solid, less expensive alternative to deploying with Oracle."

"The system is aging and not keeping up with the performance of new, enhanced database models."

What other advice do I have?

Even with all the improvements that could be made to the model and the functionality, I would give Postgres a seven out of ten. Obviously, it does not score higher because the technology is aging a little and it is not keeping up with other products.

This enterprise database solution is practically free but lacks security options that would mke it more useful

What is our primary use case?

I am responsible for our database products. We use these solutions only on-premises because our government has placed restrictions on our type of organization. The EDB Postgress Advanced Server is something we use for simple database projects on linux.

Pros and Cons

"The low cost and functionality allows us to save money on smaller database projects."

"The security is not very robust and the product would be much more useful with more security options."

What other advice do I have?

The only advice I have for people considering implementing this Postgres Advanced Server solution is that it is cheap and can save money. It was a good lesson to learn that we could save money by working with Postgres. It reduces our costs when we are not implementing some bigger, more demanding software solutions. On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate this product as an eight.

Effectively allowing us to be far more flexible from architecture to production

What is our primary use case?

As a replacement for Oracle RAC where there's need: * More than four servers * Dynamically deployable servers * Split access between the transnational and reporting on the same data store.

What other advice do I have?

There will be a 10% pure play performance hit against ORacle and about 12% against Informix but the deployment and cost model more than compensate for the additional hardware requirements.
