"Scales Fast with No Downtime—Ideal for Client Demos and Easy Performance Tuning"
4/5
What do you like best about Azure SQL Database?

It scales quickly with no downtime, which makes it ideal for client demos in healthcare or real estate. Tools like Query Performance Insight also make performance tuning straightforward. Backups and geo-replication add another layer of protection and help keep data safe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure SQL Database?

I sometimes run into connection errors during periods of heavy use. The lack of a quick query editor in the portal also slows down testing and makes simple checks take longer than they should. The free tier would be more helpful with easy starter samples to get up and running faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
