The main advantage of this application is that it can work with large datasets and has many inbuilt functions like dividing the data into cold and warm categories which help to optimize cost. Another best feature I like about this application is the ease of migration and easy management of the console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only thing which I dislike the most about this application is that, whenever we have any problem with the tool, it gets hard to reach out to the support team as we have to write an email to reach them. Instead, they can introduce Chatbot for a quick resolution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The option behind using this tool is that it has advanced security options, a good dashboard and we can move our existing data without any application changes also we don't need to change existing queries, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Pricing should be lower so small businesses can afford it, need to provide a short training video otherwise it is a good tool to choose for data management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had limited engagement with this tool, but we did use it to move items to cloud storage and to allow access of data to customers with that need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This product is pretty massive in its capability, and I could not use all of its features within my position. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This application works well even for large datasets. It is easy to use and a cloud platform. It has a huge number of inbuilt functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing. But if you are stuck somewhere you want to help from the support system of Microsoft. Then you have to write a mail they can improve this means some bot etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best is that this program puts efficiency at your fingertips. In the database indstry, we know that queries being able to run like clockwork is the nature of our business. That's what this program was created for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A couple things jump out at me when I think of what I dislike. One is the support around M.S. products. I don't like dealing with people through emails. I've found it tedious and taxing to try to get even the most basic questions answered from M.S. There have been times where I've explicitly told a support rep to not email me but rather call me and they still don't call me. I don't really like the cost layout either. For a small business, it makes the program cost-prohibitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to use SQL like statements and connectivity in Apache spark using jdbc for data writing after transformation/analytics and power bi access easy in azure environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
SQL Server instance is costly for small business people, it makes the program cost-prohibitive and it supports only for windows machines not supported in Linux based systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MS Sql Server is a strong application to manage the databases on production system. Its easy to use and cross platform tool. Connectivity on different application is very simple. Its performance and response is effective. This application has a large number of inbuilt functions using that database development task becomes easy. We can with ease create new database objects like Table, View, Stored Procedure, Cursor, Indexing etc. Stored procedure execution and tracing is good enough. Using trace we can easily debug the SQL server requests and processing time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It works perfect on Windows OS, but not for Unix or Linux. Query performance is slower than oracle. He needs to create a competitor for Exadata. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
