Microsoft SQL Server Reviews

My favourite feature of SQL is how it seamlessly integrates with all windows environments to make developing for it super easy!

the cost is very high if you have allot of users rolled out and using the software.

I like the security setup, and the ability to export databases and configurations.

The Microsoft licensing structure for SQL is a bit odd. Some options are available for dual-core but not for single-core. Why is that?

It comes with a free version. Database is secure. It's reliable.

Product support is abit slow and expensive

One of the things I like the most about SQL is the fact that most of my industry works with it, so its easy and convenient to use and gather workflows that suit us and implement them in new projects. Other than that, I haven had any issue with SQL so far. Its robust, is fast, and simply works for every task we use it.

Maybe this is something general for databases, but we usually struggle with Hardware when working with big SQL databases, since SQL will use everything it has available in the server.

It is economical , has most of the functionality db need to have .

If you are working with older versions of the sever it can be daunting

Querying the db is easy and storage is also well maintained. Db support is also great. Overall integration to Microsoft sql server is also easy and works best

I can not think of any con for such a great database system

Great resource to utilize information securely

Sometimes their are glitches and we are booted from the server

It is straight forward and is a relational database.

It could have more modern syntax updates.

It works well with all Microsoft platforms

Backing up to shared drive using Legato was time consuming

Microsoft SQL Server has an activity monitor that will show any errors. I have been using Microsoft SQL Server for 12 years and I have no complaints. Microsoft SQL Server is great, as long as the user is familiar enough with it

Difficult licensing process that’s always changing

The interface is very easy to use and once you have connected up, the expandable and collapsible views of your databases, tables, stored procs, views, sql jobs etc and easily viewable and excellent to navigate through. You can customise the icon and buttons to suit your setup preferences. The performance of SSMS has dramtically increased over the past few years and the features and functions they offer are great. For someone who has been in support and not a full fledged developer, this is an excellent enterprise tool to manage your data and connect it with .NET applications.

Nothing as of yet. I have found it to meet my needs each and every time.

In a Windows Server world, MS SQL Server integrates easily on top of Windows Servers and is very easy to use if you have any SQL experience. The power it gives in a data-centric world is what I like most!

It is somewhat cumbersome to get data from a SQL query grid easily into an Excel format.

It was a simple and effective tool to ETL data from ERP sources and analyse data outside the system.

Slightly aged looked, appears to be a bit old and could do with a refresh.

ease of use and integrationalong with support option makes it a premier product

licensing costs, be sure to purchase the correct version and edition

It's a hugely powerful piece of software, it's extremely stable, reliable and I don't think any other software would be capable of delivering the same solution

It does have it's faults - the sql query editor can be moody at times, I think the menu structures are needlessly complicated and worded. These are minor gripes

SQL Server is easier to use and setup. it is very good for database management

Managing sql server can be challenging for beginners

It is flexible, yet robust. Other storage solutions come and go, but SQL survives

It's easy to learn but hard to master, which means it's easy to get into but also easy to make mistakes that cost you.

What I appreciate most about it is how dependable and simple it is to operate. Under heavy demand, it operates efficiently and guarantees fast execution with little downtime. This is essential for our company

Software could be updated to interface with a variety of cloud services that are open source. Sometimes the software breaks because it is too many inquiries

As a relational GBD system, it's the perfect tool for data analysts. It enables users to extract, transform and download the data they need in a matter of seconds.

it requires more data storage to install the DB engine than other SQL DBs.

The customer support and the data migration were done without any difficulty. Data migration team done our job well

Noting to say "Least" about Microsoft SQL

We love that our vendor can work with us on reports since it supports different programming languages and frameworks We have a diverse skill set and it makes collaboration so easy!

My least favorite issue is that sometimes the window I'm working in will freeze and never unfreeze. I lose the work up to my last saved entry.

Best thing about SQL server is its support from Microsoft and its community, when you are stuck on something you can easily get help on internet about it.

Management studio can be a bit better and user friendly.

We have a large database of information that we have stored. Primarily of tracking numbers. Our customers will frequently request information from us and SQL is a great tool to help us put together transit information to send to them.

The only thing I can think of is there is a sharp learning curve. But it is a very useful tool.
