    PostgreSQL is best used for structured data, and best when following relational database design principles. I would not use PostgreSQL for large unstructured data such as video, images, sound files, xml documents, web-pages, especially if these files have their own highly variable, internal structure.

    I highly recommend this software, as it has allowed us to be much more transparent with the delivery of benefits and their applications, also the hours of work in this regard are less, allowing staff to devote to other tasks. A very useful and necessary software.

    Pros
    PostgreSQL Global Development Group
    • It works well with external data sources and runs on platforms with stable performance.
    • Clients can rest assured that their personal information will be safe and secure.
    • Many forums discuss setup and usage, and most are free.
    • Adding tooling applications to a computer is unlimited.
    • PostgreSQL runs on many OS platforms and supports ANSI SQL, stored procedures, and triggers.

    • It has made the application, which is almost identical to the application questions previously displayed by our old service, seem less daunting and more user friendly to grant applicants.
    • The grant review team has exclaimed that the side-by-side review option is the best feature ever invented and has saved them loads of paper.
    • Internally, I appreciate the ease of use of the back end system. Being able to easily assign grants to reviews both in and outside the organization, easily create queries for the stats I need, and the ability to move application through the steps of the system seamlessly make this my top choice since I'm the only staff member dedicated to the Foundation which leaves me with lots on my plate to balance.

    Cons
    PostgreSQL Global Development Group
    • Clearer indications on what is the query plan, to optimize the query
    • More out of the box, Postgres specific, SQL functions
    • It would be nice to have a more visual aid of the relationship between all tables, but possibly this depend more on the UI used

    • It's messy- we can only apply a question to a certain amount of applications so we have 2-3 of a lot of questions
    • The affiliate directors can't export an excel file from their dashboard
    • If a question changes or becomes required or not required it impacts all past applications

    Usability
    PostgreSQL Global Development Group
    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.

    The platform is very basic. On the other and, our staff does not take advantage of its full capabilities because such features did not work well for us/fit our needs

    Reliability and Availability

    PostgreSQL's availability is top notch. Apart from connection time-out for an idle user, the database is super reliable.

    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.

    Support Rating
    PostgreSQL Global Development Group
    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.

    We didn’t really use their support. I wish they would have told us more about the fact they were changing to get rid of the flash player as that was the main reason we left.

    Online Training
    PostgreSQL Global Development Group
    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.

    Their design team gave us the option to save some money by creating the forms ourselves for both the submission and review portals. This also allowed us to get to a point where we felt very comfortable in any future changes that would need to be made to forms since we were so immersed in creating them.

    Although the competition between the different databases is increasingly aggressive in the sense that they provide many improvements, new functionalities, compatibility with complementary components or environments, in some cases it requires that it be followed within the same family of applications that performs the company that develops it and that is not all bad, but being able to adapt or configure different programs, applications or other environments developed by third parties apart is what gives PostgreSQL a certain advantage and this diversification in the components that can be joined with it, is the reason why it is a great option to choose.

    SurveyMonkey and SurveyGizmo are great to use for other programs and events that require collecting fairly basic responses and feedback, however, these don't provide the level of information and data that is needed for our grants processes. WizeHive provides a number of tools and other benefits that are just beyond these products' capabilities

    Return on Investment
    PostgreSQL Global Development Group
    • Easy to administer so our DevOps team has only ever used minimal time to setup, tune, and maintain.
    • Easy to interface with so our Engineering team has only ever used minimal time to query or modify the database. Getting the data is straightforward, what we do with it is the bigger concern.
    • It's free. You can't beat that.

    • Zengine is definitely a time-saver, but there are a myriad of grant management software platforms on the market that save just as much time, some even more time-saving. But if you have a basic need to offer an application process of any sort (grant, scholarship, etc.) to the public, Zengine can be very helpful in saving time and keeping everything related to the grant handy in one location, and all connected (application, reviews, final reports, etc.).
