Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and others in Relational Databases Tools."The solution scales easily."
"The most valuable features of this solution are easy queries and straightforward programming for beginners."
"Without any doubt the Integration Services and Analysis Services are the most widely used. These are the basis for data quality, data gathering, ETL process, as well as collation for the data warehouse, Cube-generation, and ad-hoc processes. The ease in which you may mold a process flow or even modularly add in new structures is something which is much needed in my job."
"The stability is fine, especially if you're hosting it on AWS or Azure. You can get up to 99.99% stability on AWS."
"Its speed and the ease of server management are valuable. If I compare Microsoft SQL Server to MySQL, what I like in Microsoft SQL Server is the speed. We are using Microsoft Management Studio for managing our Microsoft SQL Server, and the user interface that I get to work with is also better."
"The solution has a reliable database."
"It is quite reliable in cluster configurations and has helped me to reduce downtime and improve SLAs."
"The ease of administration, in general, is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The most valuable features are programmability and reliability."
"There are very limited resources available in the market in terms of implementation. They need to offer training plans for graduates so that more resources are available in the market."
"The tool's support needs to be improved."
"The agility of the non-SQL-based features is relevant on the market."
"They have too many licensing options. They may want to simplify its licensing and bring it down to two, three, or four categories from ten to fifteen categories. Having so many different licensing options makes it difficult to decide which one to choose from. They can club things together. This is an area where they can make things easier for customers."
"SQL Server is an expensive solution"
"There are a lot of improvements in the cloud space about which we open a case with Microsoft every now and then. These improvements are not in terms of features or functionality. They are more related to their own compatibility or connectivity on which they keep on working to improve the product."
"The solution could offer better integration with other solutions - specifically Microsoft."
"I would like to see better integration between their link server and other platforms, such as IBM."
"It could be more stable."
