PostGIS Reviews & Product Details

PostGIS gives hundreds of functions to explore, manipulate and analyze geographical data as well as detailed documentation. That's what I like the best about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Few of its functions are difficult to use with very little documentation available otherwise, there's nothing to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplification of the queries due to ultimate functions is the most aspect which I like. Also, the ability to analyse, report data on the fly without GUI is the best part. To top it off, it is open-source !!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Noting, however, would like to see some authenticate certification programs like EDB Postgres to boost knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PostGIS has always been an incredible application for interacting with spatial database systems; as a GIS user, especially in open source GIS, the connection abilities of PostGIS is something to be applauded; you can easily connect with any spatial database, and in particular, with Postgres, it's a fantastic experience.

Well, I have no regret in using such a great application, and of course, the open-source community is always at work to improve and make PostGIS even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Compare with other Database Spatial Tools, Postgis is very fast and free. The Postgis's community is very hardworker and solve all problems which I faced. Postgis's documentations make the learning process very easy and understandable. As a GIS Developer I use Potgis everyday of my life and I am very happy to use Postgis.

Data Visualization must improve when you want to visualize the big data postgis don't response that. That is the one and only bad thing in Postgis for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use interface and awesome features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much to dislike, but maybe some connectivity issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After using postgis, using any commercial database is feels like an expensive solution. Postgis has lots of users and developers. Therefore in the case of a need or problem arising, looking for a solution in a search engine returns lots of replys from different users and use case scenarios.

In daily routines, for the people like me (as a gis expert working on geospatial database and a SQL lover) , maintaining, data collecting, querying a spatial database would be easier than using any gis related desktop software. just typing the sql for desired result and BAM!

As a new postgis user, the point i did not like is related to authentication. I have created a few users with limited grants for tables, views or other objects in database. Lets say that I have created a user with view and update rights on tables. If a new table is created after I said the rights, I expect the same rights to apply on the newly added tables or views.
