Likelihood to Recommend Software work execution is on a large scale, it is good to use for new projects or organizational changes, data lineage mapping has always been dubious but this one has had good results. You can store and synchronize data from different departments, the storage process can be manual but it is best automated.

PostgreSQL, unlike other databases, is user-friendly and uses an open-source database. Ideal for relational databases, they can be accessed when speed and efficiency are required. It enables high-availability and disaster recovery replication from instance to instance. PostgreSQL can store data in a JSON format, including hashes, keys, and values. Multi-platform compatibility is also a big selling point. We could, however, use all the DBMS’s cores. While it works well in fast environments, it can be problematic in slower ones or cause multiple master replication.
Read full review Pros Apache Hive allows use to write expressive solutions to complex problems thanks to its SQL-like syntax. Relatively easy to set up and start using. Very little ramp-up to start using the actual product, documentation is very thorough, there is an active community, and the code base is constantly being improved.

The stability it offers, its speed of response and its resource management is excellent even in complex database environments and with low-resource machines. The large amount of resources it has in addition to the many own and third-party tools that are compatible that make productivity greatly increase. The adaptability in various environments, whether distributed or not, [is a] complete set of configuration options which allows to greatly customize the work configuration according to the needs that are required. The excellent handling of referential and transactional integrity, its internal security scheme, the ease with which we can create backups are some of the strengths that can be mentioned. Read full review Cons Some queries, particularly complex joins, are still quite slow and can take hours Previous jobs and queries are not stored sometimes Switching to Impala can sometimes be time-consuming (i.e. the system hangs, or is slow to respond). Sometimes, directories and tables don't load properly which causes confusion Read full review PostgreSQL Global Development Group
The query syntax for JSON fields is unwieldy when you start getting into complex queries with many joins. I wish there was a distinction (a flag) you could set for automated scripts vs working in the psql CLI, which would provide an 'Are you sure you want to do X?' type prompt if your query is likely to affect more than a certain number of rows. Especially on updates/deletes. Setting the flag in the headless(scripted) flow would disable the prompt. Better documentation around JSON and Array aggregation, with more examples of how the data is transformed.

As a needed software for day to day development activities
Read full review Usability Hive is a very good big data analysis and ad-hoc query platform, which supports scaling also. The BI processes can be easily integrated with Hadoop via the Hive. It can deal with a much larger data set that traditional RDBMS can not. It is a "must-have" component of the big data domain.

Postgresql is the best tool out there for relational data so I have to give it a high rating when it comes to analytics, data availability and consistency, so on and so forth. SQL is also a relatively consistent language so when it comes to building new tables and loading data in from the OLTP database, there are enough tools where we can perform ETL on a scalable basis.

PostgreSQL's availability is top notch. Apart from connection time-out for an idle user, the database is super reliable.
Read full review Performance PostgreSQL Global Development Group
The data queries are relatively quick for a small to medium sized table. With complex joins, and a wide and deep table however, the performance of the query has room for improvement.
Read full review Support Rating Apache Hive is a FOSS project and its open source. We need not definitely comment on anything about the support of open source and its developer community. But, it has got tremendous developer support, awesome documentation. I would justify the fact that much support can be gathered from the community backup.

There are several companies that you can contract for technical support, like EnterpriseDB or Percona, both first level in expertise and commitment to the software.
But we do not have contracts with them, we have done all the way from googling to forums, and never have a problem that we cannot resolve or pass around. And for dozens of projects and more than 15 years now.

The online training is request based. Had there been recorded videos available online for potential users to benefit from, I could have rated it higher. The online documentation however is very helpful. The online documentation PDF is downloadable and allows users to pace their own learning. With examples and code snippets, the documentation is great starting point.

The online documentation of the PostgreSQL product is elaborate and takes users step by step.

Google BigQuery , which is costly but have very high computation speed. Amazon Redshift is the another product, I used in my recent organisation. Both Redshift and BigQuery are managed solution whereas Hive needs to be managed

Postgres stacks up just [fine] along the other big players in the RDBMS world. It's very popular for a reason. It's very close to
MySQL in terms of cost and features - I'd pick either solution and be just as happy. Compared to Oracle it is a MUCH cheaper solution that is just as usable.

The DB is reliable, scalable, easy to use and resolves most DB needs
Read full review Return on Investment Apache hive is secured and scalable solution that helps in increasing the overall organization productivity. Apache hive can handle and process large amount of data in a sufficient time manner. It simplifies writing SQL queries, hence helping the organization as most companies use SQL for all query jobs.

The user-role system has saved us tons of time and thus money. As I mentioned in the "Use Case" section, Postgres is not only used by engineering but also finance to measure how much to charge customers and customer support to debug customer issues. Sure, it's not easy for non-technical employees to psql in and view raw tables, but it has saved engineering hundreds of man-hours that would have had to be spent on building equivalent tools to serve finance or customer support. It provides incredibly trustworthy storage for wherever customer data dumped in. In our 6 years of Postgres existence, we have not lost a byte of customer data due to Postgres messing up a transaction or during the multiple times the hard-drives failed (thanks to ACID compliance!). This is less significant, but Postgres is also quite easy to manage (unless you are going above and beyond to squeeze out every last bit of performance). There's not much to configure, and the out of the box settings are quite sane. That has saved us engineers lots of time that would have gone into Postgres administration. Read full review ScreenShots
