"Use Azure SQL Database for storing data of your new applications deployed in cloud"
What do you like best about Azure SQL Database?

Azure SQL Database is a PaaS offering from MS Azure which means Microsoft handles the underlying infrastructure, updates etc., which allows us to focus on customizing the database similar to our on-prem database. Data stored at rest and in motion is highly secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure SQL Database?

Learning Azure and its offerings, like Azure SQL Database, is a steep curve, mainly if we are unfamiliar with cloud concepts. Azure SQL Database is not fully compatible with on-premises SQL Server installations. It is more suitable for new projects that can accommodate design changes per the Database.
