64 EnterpriseDB Testimonials

"Naturally, we had a healthy respect for the decision to switch our database structure definitively – anyone familiar with databases knows that these processes do not always run smoothly. But now that is done, it can be said that the migration really came off astonishingly easily. With the training options made available to us by EnterpriseDB, we were able to adjust to the new software under optimal conditions and to be perfectly prepared for the conversion in advance."

"The company was also able to take advantage of EDB’s database compatibility for Oracle to migrate a number of applications quickly without having to re-write application code or retrain existing staff."

“At one point, we had SAS, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle and BDB all backing various services. We had five databases. That’s not a situation we wanted to be in.”

"Eighty percent of our applications don't have to be rewritten to work on EnterpriseDB."

"EnterpriseDB allows us to bring the benefits of open source to all our customers, large and small, without sacrificing the quality or performance of our retail management solution."

“We have a rewarding partnership with EnterpriseDB and are actively expanding our deployment of Postgres Plus Advanced Server throughout our company.”

"In the past, the primary purpose of using EDB Postgres was only to reduce IT cost. Because the performance and stability of EDB Postgres has been proven with successful, mission-critical deployments, the goal has changed. We are now expanding our use of EDB Postgres in future core services as widely as possible across KT Corporation."

“We anticipated our growth would be exponential given the size of the world’s listening population. And as a startup, we had limited resources, both financial and personnel, so a database-as-a-service was our best option to have a fully modern infrastructure.”

"Having undertaken an evaluation of the data management solutions, Ashnik recommended EDB Postgres Advanced Server because of its compatibility with the Oracle Database."

“The most essential requirement the Agency has always put forward is that its IT Department be effective and successful in supporting the Agency in pursuing its statutory objectives. We are the largest paying agency in Europe. During the last 25 years we aided over 2 million beneficiaries with a total of more than 200 bn Polish zloty. What we require of vendors of IT solutions is that they ensure availability and performance of our systems. Based on the long years of our experience we can now say that a skillful implementation of open source database solutions can successfully satisfy our critical requirements, and it allows us to optimize costs. Finally, it reduces the risk of our becoming dependent on a single vendor, as it can be the case with old-style proprietary software.”

“Thanks to the excellent collaboration with ARiMR’s IT team, the EDB implementation project can be considered a model to look up to for other organizations. In fact, it was a project unique not only in Poland but in Europe too. The deliverables of each stage of the technology adoption process were verified both in their business and technological aspects. Jointly with Linux Polska, we prepared pilot implementation projects as well as training courses for administrators and developers. Our collaboration resulted in the success of the database projects in spite of the truly demanding environment.”

"Controlling costs and maintaining the ability to leverage our previous technology investments were critical factors in the selection of EnterpriseDB's Postgres Plus Advanced Server."

"We only gave our DBAs very basic training on how to connect to Postgres and they were up and running very quickly."

"The business was still in a startup phase and we could not incur massive costs. That's why we decided to build the middleware as an open source-based product. However, for the database, we were not comfortable with using a completely open source product, because as the heart of the entire system, the database had to have both high performance and high reliability."

"The power usage data that is sent in from endpoints like sensors is stored in a database built with Hbase, and then reconciled with endpoint attribute information that is stored in EDB Postgres. Because the entire EMS is rendered unable to function if a delay with EDB Postgres reconciliation processing causes a failure, it needs to have extremely high levels of performance and reliability. To date, there have been no problems with the database and we have absolutely no concerns about either performance or reliability."
