Don't know enough about similar products to really know. Not real keen on having to learn a search language for SQL though :\ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked how it is easy to learn and implement. It is very efficient to be used for databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't dislike. I have been using it for many years Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the Integration with Visual Studio. It's nice not having to switch between products to update data and make changes to the database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A little troubled that data is committed to the database automatically rather than having to push a button to commit it. Perhaps I will eventually like this feature. It is just something I am not used to with other databases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to maintain, wide support and user information, good reporting and performance. Lots of third party integrations, just great all around database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost, not the cheapest solution, but worth it overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having SQL Server Management Studio and the ability to use the GUI rather than write T-SQL to perform database operations is extremely efficient and saves valuable time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the error messages that Microsoft SQL gives because they are often very vague and do not give information on the root cause. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

New security features for SQL Server 2016 such as Transparent Data Encryption, which encrypts all user data with low performance overhead; Dynamic Data Masking and Row Level Security, allow developers to build applications that restrict access and protect data.

Nothing its free for beginners to test it locally and good clients supported for it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once you get SQL all configured you can forget about it and let it do it's thing. It works really well. I rarely have to take the time to troubleshoot anything--it just works and it works well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial setup can be a little confusing so actually getting it off the ground can be a challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
