Overview

Product Information on PostgreSQL

Updated 13th October 2025

What is PostgreSQL?

PostgreSQL is an open-source relational database management software designed to support a wide range of workloads and applications. The software provides features such as advanced data types, transactional integrity, multi-version concurrency control, extensibility, and support for procedural languages. PostgreSQL enables organizations to manage structured data with support for complex queries, indexing, and data analytics. It addresses business requirements for data reliability, scalability, and customization through its architecture and compliance with SQL standards. The software also offers tools for backup, recovery, and high availability, supporting both small-scale and enterprise-level database operations.

PostgreSQL Pricing

PostgreSQL software from EnterpriseDB follows a subscription-based pricing model where charges are determined by the specific edition, deployment environments, and support options selected. The software is typically priced per core or per server and includes access to updates and technical support as part of the subscription. Pricing may vary based on the level of services and features required by the user.

Reviewer Insights for: PostgreSQL
Deciding Factors: PostgreSQL Vs. Market Average

PostgreSQL Likes & Dislikes

Like

With no licensing costs, the database is feature-rich, highly reliable, and runs well in cloud, containerized, and on-premises environments. It also provides excellent community support and regular improvements.

Like

Simple enough to translate existing SQL scripts for migration, all essential RDMS capabilities covered

Like

It's open source, ease of use, acceptable performance and certain degree of stability

Dislike

Requires advanced expertise for scaling tuning, clustering and HA depending on external tools, less enterprise support than other vendors, some monitoring and reporting gaps

Dislike

Free tooling support is limited, and the tools are not very mature, quite clunky to work with / administer. Settings for transactionality and being able to apply groups of scripts at once are too complex and more sophisticated than necessary, default settings too are often unintuitive

Dislike

less powerful than other solution especially on security side. Too many tunable parameters with poorly chosen default values. Poor documentation
