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

Dimensional analysis such as project managing growth charts. Sales as well incline of decline of consumers or reviews. Benefits other than more consumers is the ability to connect with them and our schedule that it puts together gets the product out faster as well as organizing patient charts to better determine the usage of the product and how well. I know many who swear behind other products as well but there is none other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
