Ability to interact with teachers in real-time and manage lessons after class
The deployment process is very fast. We have prepared the product to be easily installed, and we have had successful cases where it could be implemented in less than a few weeks. Moreover, Around three or four people in a call center are involved in maintaining the solution. We have a project manager, a service manager, and at least two or three system analysts who handle the maintenance. If there are any issues, we can open a support ticket for them to address.

Scalable performance tuning and optimization for finance and supply chain jobs
We run our finance and supply chain jobs using SQL BW, and we visualize our data loads on Power BI. We are using SQL Data Warehouse for data warehousing In terms of cost savings, we don't need specialization in skills as advanced as Teradata. We used to pay extensive licensing fees for Teradata,…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The tool's most valuable features for us are its combination of formatting, ETL, analytics, and storage capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to interact with teachers in real-time and manage lessons after class."
"Microsoft provides both the platform and the data center, so you don't have to look for a cloud vendor. It saves you from having to deal with two vendors for the same task."
"Its seamless integration with Azure services is most valuable. If somebody wants to use all Azure services, it is the best solution."
"Scaling this solution is easy and the uptime is okay."
"I like its performance. It is well-structured and offers a lot of practical options. Because of the visual design of the product, it is very easy to find icons and other visual elements. It took me more than two weeks to understand how it works. I had an intensive training session to understand it, which was enough. It was not hard to understand how it works."
"The most valuable feature is the scalability."
"The solution offers strong scalability opportunities."
"The most valuable feature is performance gains."
"It's feature-rich. It has a wide range of features."
 

Cons

"Maybe the chat conversation feature could be improved."
"The solution is expensive. For future releases, it would be beneficial if Kovair Data Lake could enhance its ETL and data capabilities."
"Documentation could be improved."
"I would like to see better integration with Active Directory, because we have had problems, and we still do."
"It's a complicated product."
"Customer service and support for Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics need improvement. They are slow to respond and not very knowledgeable."
"I am a researcher. For people to be able to research a solution, there should be at least a free trial. Just advertising a product or saying that this product is better doesn't work. I would strongly recommend providing a lot of free trials and trainings. This will also help Microsoft in having more users or customers. Oracle provides some free trials. You can just go for a free trial and use your database online, which is very good."
"The initial setup has a bit of a learning curve."
"One area for improvement could be better integration with Power BI, as well as data integration with BW."
"The product could be more feature-rich."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"Price varies by use-case. You pay for the database itself in addition to any consumed data within Serverless plus other fees if you use the Data Factory that is inside."
"Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics can be costly, however, a cost-effective approach would be to purchase it in advance through reservation for either one or three years. This will significantly reduce the overall expenses incurred."
"They are cost aggressive, and it integrates well with other Microsoft tools."
"I would rate the ROI a nine out of ten, where one is zero value and ten is 100% value."
"Very costly solution and other products are available for less."
"We have a licensing cost to pay."
"The price of this solution could be improved."
"The price of Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics can vary. Other solutions are typically fixed prices and a fixed cost regardless of usage, but this solution is based on usage or consumption."
