Ideal, stable, good support and it helps with the developer console

I have used MongoDB, MySQL, and Oracle. MongoDB is entirely different. It's a NoSQL platform database, so it's totally different. It is a little bit hard to work with. The way it is organized and structured is different. But between Microsoft Azure MySQL and Oracle, they are pretty similar. * Cost: Microsoft is not a preferred platform. Their licensing is very complex and expensive. Oracle is much better. * AI: In terms of data analytics and AI, Microsoft is better. Certain complex transformations are easier to do in MSSQL. So, if you have to analyze data from a lot of different data sources, it becomes much easier. However, the usage of the particular product depends on the project. Personally, I would like to work on MySQL. But in certain cases where the application scale is very large, and custom models from certain regions of the globe prefer Microsoft, then we have to go with MSSQL. But technically, there is not much difference.

Cons

"The solution should have a more user-friendly user interface."

"In a production environment, upgrading from a lower to an upper version is a very long process that needs to be improved."

"There could be more courses where the people could learn more easily how to use the tool."

"MySQL should have some kind of native query browser. If it could come with a built-in connector."

"Integrating business intelligence or NLP solutions would help us save time and would prevent us from having to take a deep dive. Data problems seem to multiply on the system when you interact with it. Automation would save a lot of man-hours."

"There could be improvements, particularly in Firebird, where the indexing is limited to just a single B-tree index, leading to poor performance for large-scale queries."

"The tool’s stability must be improved."

"The product has many bugs."

"Sometimes MySQL does upgrades on the server. When we are still using the old server and when they integrate the upgrade, they don't carry along some of the old syntaxes. The versions don't sync."
