"Azure SQL Database Solution"
What do you like best about Azure SQL Database?

Azure SQL Database offers impressive scalability and performance, which makes it perfect for small as well as large applications. It has high quality built-in high availability and disaster recovery feature that give a piece of mind to critical application. It can be integrated into other Azure services smoothly thus making it a complete cloud solution. There is easy management interface providing user-friendly automation backups which saves most of time and energy spent during the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure SQL Database?

Azure SQL Database transition for long-time SQL Server users like me is almost a walk in the park and there is little to dislike about it as well. It is easy to adjust because of the familiar interface and tools, and the added cloud-based features make everything better. Still, people who depend on proprietary .NET code against their database should be aware that CLR (Common Language Runtime) support has not been incorporated yet. Azure’s strong assistance and documentation succeeded in quickly resolving any minor issues noticed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
