"For me it's the best database"

5/5

What do you like best about Microsoft SQL Server?

The database is fast, easy to use, has graphical or command-line management interface, various forms of connection and versatile connectors. In several years I have never had problems with Sql Server. For small workloads, up to 10 Gb has free (express) version with all the features most used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft SQL Server?

Only the installation process could be simpler. In the 2005 version it was very easy to install, then a more complicated installer was created, which can not be used by the ordinary user, forcing IT support. In the latest version, lacks a serverless database (compact) for use in UWP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Microsoft SQL Server:

Installation is not trivial, requires complex installation knowledge based on instances, then you need to know how to properly open the firewall (TCP, UDP, and bin). Finally you need to enable network communication, by default it starts shared in memory only. Solve all your database server needs for trivial to complex solutions. Because it has multiple versions, you have a solution for a start-up business, and you can upgrade as your business load increases. Great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft SQL Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use small and medium business applications with multiple databases up to 10 Gb, making sure that if the business load increases, we can offer the versions paid to our customers, with total confidence. We develop software for business, and use sql server on our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SQL Server for Database Needs"

5/5

What do you like best about Microsoft SQL Server?

Microsoft has done a great job with SQL Server. The performance and responsiveness of the database makes it a great choice for working with data. Their ongoing support and dedication to the platform and seeing where they are taking it is exciting. We know they are committed to it which assures us as we continue to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft SQL Server?

It is really hard to think of something I dislike. The platform has ultimately served us very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Microsoft SQL Server:

Microsoft SQL is a solid product with great support and continuing innovation from Microsoft. I would definitely recommend the product as we've really had a great experience with it and will continue to use it in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft SQL Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have been utilizing SQL Server for around 15 years. Previously we utilized more desktop-oriented databases such as Microsoft Access or Paradox and a few others. We also had some other databases on platforms that we outlived and outgrew. We have centralized a great deal of our information from customers, donors, staff, and students into SQL and this has allowed us to be more efficient as we manage that data in its various roles.
