The support team is also very responsive. You can use your own AWS account (BYOC). Clear pricing plans. > > **Cons**: Cost is a bit too high. Dashboard interface could be more functional. > > Overall very satisfied with customer service, nice features and functionality. ----- ### "The fastest / easiest way to stand up cloud PostgreSQL, whether for dev or enterprise production" — 5.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *24 September 2020* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I've been a fan of PostgreSQL for many years, and when we determined that it was an excellent choice for our start up in healthcare informatics, pharmacovigilance and drug safety, we next had to choose a cloud hosting platform to get it up and running ASAP. We started by looking into the major DaaS cloud hosts and could certainly have gone directly with AWS, GCP or Azure (among others), but all of these required an "expert" to spec, price and implement correctly - and were, frankly, overkill for getting us out of the gate. ScaleGrid was (and is) dramatically different: they have a limited offering -- a few different DBMS's and a standard set of server / instance specs to choose from when getting started. In short -- with a credit card, I was able to select a PostgreSQL configuration and place my order within about 5 minutes. A note popped up telling me that my instance was being prepared -- and then about 5 minutes later I had the instance up and running. This was stunningly simple, including my choice of back end host services (e.g., AWS, Azure, DreamHost -- we went with DreamHost). So -- with about 10 or 15 minutes setup, I had a fully functional PostgreSQL 12.x server up and running, with 300GB capacity, no hidden traffic fees, and total costs just a couple of hundred dollars a month. > > **Cons**: The management console is OK. Nothing terrible, but some richer controls would be nice, bringing in, perhaps, the functionality that's available in tools like PGAdmin, and making it easier to see / administer all the user roles and their permissions from the console. Many years ago, I was spoiled by the GUI admin tools that MS SQL Server provides -- I'd love to see that built in for PostgreSQL, but it simply doesn't exist. If a host like ScaleGrid could add this in as their own management layer, it would be compelling. But the lack of this really isn't an issue, and not a big downside for me. > > Excellent. From fast setup to extremely fast support via email and chat. No lengthy conversations, but very responsive and knowledgeable help. The database service has been 100% rock solid and fast. Data communication is superb (no doubt DreamHost is one a couple of major Internet backbones). Very very pleased with the experience to date. As we move into production, I'd really like to see how we can add some of the more advanced features such as geographical load balancing, horizontal scaling, etc. but, if possible, stay with ScaleGrid as our "front end", as our experience has been so positive, and taken a significant burden off our own team. ----- ### "Ok when it's working" — 2.0/5 > **Ben** | *18 September 2020* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to get started and set up. Decent reporting and monitoring. > > **Cons**: We've had two complete outages for MySQL over the 18 months we've been running on ScaleGrid. Each time is the same - the database stops responding, then eventually is flagged as Failed in the SG dashboard. The second outage was a cluster intended to provide higher availability - didn't work. Support has met their SLA (1 hour ) however it's frustrating sitting idle when your production database is down. Also, there seems to be no way of accessing a backup other than restoring it to a new cluster and then dumping that manually. Ugh. > > We looked to ScaleGrid to help us operate a legacy MySQL DB, SG's features certainly looked attractive (ease of deployment, database followers facilitate staging environments, reports and monitoring all look good). However at the end of the day, it's been less reliable than the system we ran in-house. So back we go. ----- ### "Great product for my SaaS company" — 5.0/5 > **Jeryl** | *24 May 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is extremely reliable. We serve a few million API a month and guarantee 99% uptime to our clients. Scalegrid makes this statistic attainable. > > **Cons**: Few more performances metrics would be helpfulness. ----- ### "Happy customer and good pricing" — 5.0/5 > **Stan** | *22 September 2020* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Instant setup, fast scale ups, Redis sentinel single endpoint, high uptime (haven't experienced any down time since I started using Scalegrid). The pricing is most important to me, I'm really happy. > > **Cons**: Not accepting PayPal or iDeal as payment method, just anything besides credit card. Not possible to scale down Redis deployments, for example the RAM. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ae/software/113765/scalegrid?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ae/software/113765/scalegrid) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
