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."It gives us a solid, less expensive alternative to deploying with Oracle."
"The low cost and functionality allows us to save money on smaller database projects."
"I rate EDB Postgres Advanced Server's stability an eight out of ten."
"I like that EDB Postgres Advanced Server scales well. A valuable feature of the solution is multi-tenancy support. It also supports JSONB."
"This solution is user-friendly."
"The integration with other products is seamless."
"It is very simple to install, and the commands are exactly the same as MySQL."
"The documentation is quite straightforward."
"It's a very easy product to set up."
"The solution is very easy to implement."
"MariaDB is a user-friendly solution. Performance wise, it's better than SQL. With SQL, I would need to write a number of queries. In contrast, MariaDB is light."
"It is a scalable solution. It easily scales up and scales down."
"I have faced performance issues in the community edition."
"The system is aging and not keeping up with the performance of new, enhanced database models."
"An area for improvement in EDB Postgres Advanced Server is JSONB querying. It would be nice to have even stronger JSONB support from the solution."
"The security is not very robust and the product would be much more useful with more security options."
"It should work across all fields like SQLite, as it is the basis of any application, even apps for phones and the like."
"The configuration could be improved. It should be easier."
"Master-master replication is something that needs to be simplified."
"Replication could be better, and it's not so simple. It would be better if they had a replication server. It would make things a lot easier. You need to have that replication server, but not in the same server farm. Then there will be a bit of latency between both because you should have one in one city and another one in a different city. That kind of solution should be more baked into every single database today. Mirroring the database in a live environment where any record written on the production server replicates instantly across the fiber on the other server wasn't easy. Many people don't even bother with that, and they just run one server."
"With respect to clustering and the master-slave configuration, sometimes the slave goes out of synch."
"In future releases, mainly the addition of security features would be beneficial for MariaDB."
"I am editing."
"The PL/SQL performance is slow if you have big batch jobs running overnight."
