For me, it's one of the preferred DB services when comes to Migration, with a very little downtime window and incidents too for a wide range range of projects, be it small or for a very large Client. Apart from that, there is no need to do the regular maintenance (like backups, restarts etc) of DB servers as it's completely managed. For Developers also, it can come in very handy as they can use and run any instance ranging from SQL server, MYSQL or PostgreSQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
