PostGIS Alternatives

PostGIS is described as 'Adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database for geographic information systems (GIS), much like ESRIs SDE' and is a GIS software in the travel & location category. There are more than 10 alternatives to PostGIS for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Web-based, Mac and Android apps. The best PostGIS alternative is ArcGIS. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try Maptitude or GRASS GIS. Other great apps like PostGIS are SpatiaLite, Mapline, CartoDB and gvSIG Desktop.
