What do you like best about Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Standard on Windows Server 2019?

SQL Server 2019 on Windows Server 2019 is great because it’s fast, secure, and handles both big data and regular databases seamlessly. It’s also easy to integrate with other tools and works well for businesses of all sizes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Standard on Windows Server 2019?

The main downside is the cost—licensing can get expensive as you scale. Also, the Standard edition lacks some advanced features like online indexing or big data clusters, which are only available in Enterprise. Plus, it can feel resource-heavy on smaller servers.
