"Perfect for too big for excel, too small for SQL Server projects"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Access?

MS Access allows you to create places to store data in an easily retrievable fashion, allowing multiple users and form views for display and data entry, reporting, and data analysis. Easily mitigable to SQL Server, as you continue to grow. I've turned many an Access database into a front-end for SQL Server. The Application looks and behaves like the other Office products, making it's introduction to new users fairly simple and straight forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Access?

It is unfortunate the Microsoft has chosen to leave the programing language behind with VBA, and not update to VB.NET. Natively, it does not handle more than a few simultaneous users, and though it says databases up to 2GB in size, it becomes hard to use any table over 200K records. In both of these situations, I moved my data to SQL Server, and then reconnected through Linked Tables, turning it into a front-end application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My first database and crm."
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Access?

Great tool included with the right software for word processing, proposals, spreadsheets and presentations. Use it to integrate people into documents like proposals, prospecting lists, and sales routes with mapping services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Access?

Stayed a solid piece of software but has not talked to me about advances. I recently started to use the service to keep track of a recent database that I want to isolate out of my other work environments and it really is intuitive and works well considering how long it has been around. Like the mapping feature for contacts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
