Overall Satisfaction with PostgreSQL

It is our primary database engine utilized in the capture, storage, and processing of all company data. We were facing massive licensing fees and large deployment times in order to deploy Microsoft SQL Server at scale. We opted instead to deploy PostgreSQL in replicated pairs (50+ and growing) in a matter of minutes! We were delighted with the ease of use and replication abilities, not to mention the amazing performance.
  • Transaction Speed
  • Customized Tuning
  • Active/Active High Availability
  • PGTune could be more extensive
  • Reduced overall database costs
  • Reduced time to deploy
Faster than MySQL/MariaDB and obviously cheaper than Microsoft. Performance is amazing.
Community support is amazing and purchased support is available if required.
