"What I like is that it's quite powerful in terms of performance."
"It is very simple to manage."

"This is an open-source solution, operates at a high speed, and supports more than one SQL language."
"It would be beneficial if I could set a parameter and see different query mechanisms being run."
"It could be more accessible for handling larger data sets."
"The solution could improve the integration."
"PostgreSQL doesn't have a feature for temporal SQL, which is useful for gathering versions of data. This feature should be included in PostgreSQL. This feature is available in MariaDB, SQL Server, Oracle Database, and DB2."
"PostgreSQL is a stable system, but from a security point of view, it still needs improvement."
"A better graphic user-interface would be nice to see."
"We often find the solution's datetime datatype challenging."
"It needs more integration."
"It would be great if the solution offered even more integration capabilities."
"They need to have a better graphical interface. There is a tool called pgAdmin 4 that they use, which is free. It is written in Java, and it is slow. They need to have a better product that is similar to Toad for Oracle, but, of course, it is hard to get something that's really great and free. Other than that, it is great."
