We performed a comparison between Chroma and PostgreSQL based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Vector Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution's most valuable feature is its documentation, which allows new users to easily learn, deploy, and use it."
"It's very easy to set up and runs easily."
"It's quite scalable."
"We use the solution to store tables. It is stable and performs well."
"PostgreSQL has complete SQL dialects and is useful for writing sophisticated and complex queries. We have experience with Oracle database. My partner is experienced in DDA and he writes sophisticated SQL queries. The solution helps to get the job done in the best possible way. In today’s age, most developers do not have strong SQL knowledge or language command. They find it difficult to write even a SQL statement. These developers write cool queries which perform badly on the database end. As DBAs, we constantly urge the developers not to write bad queries, help them learn more, and write placebo commands."
"PostgreSQL is very powerful, easy to manage, and has many features."
"Scalable, stable, and easy to manage database system, with a straightforward installation."
"Postgres has some functions called JSONB aggregators or other aggregators, which are quite useful."
"It is easy to use."
"We are able to create many different types of jobs and items with this solution making it one of the most valuable features."
"The hybrid algorithm needs improvement."
"I think Chroma doesn't have a ready-made containerized image available."
"I have noticed that user and access management should be improved."
"Integration with other platforms could be improved."
"It needs more integration."
"There are some products out there that have a slightly different method of implementation for the SQL language. Some of those are slightly better in some areas, and PostgreSQL is slightly better in some areas. I would probably like to match all of those products together. It is just down to the functionality. For example, Oracle has a number of options within SQL that are outside of what you would class as the SQL standard. PostgreSQL misses some of those, but PostgreSQL does other things that are better than what Oracle does. I would like to merge those two products so that there is a certain amount of functionality in a single product."
"The price could be better."
"I had some issues when I integrated with the Jupyter Notebook."
"The interface could be much better."
"The user interface could be a bit better."
