What I like most about this database gesture is how robust it is and how many databases it can handle simultaneously without degrading its performance.

Also, the number of users that it can support connected simultaneously makes it one of the most stable database managers on the market and at the same time, it could be said that one of the most used at the business level, this is because it has the performance and confidence that DBAs and infrastructure managers need for the business Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Microsoft SQL Server easy to use"

It's a very intuitive and easy-to-use server software whereas other software is a bit difficult as Microsoft SQL does not require us to create multiple folders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft SQL Server?

Sometimes double server runs at a time so I have to end the task using the system process, which is very hectic as this might make me kill a running server. This happens when I try to run new server and the old one is still running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Useful and High Performance Tool For Data Storage And Analysis."

Ease of relationship with other programs like Power BI, Visual Studio Programs (SSAS, SSIS), Microsoft Tools, etc... Lots of documentation for learning and communities to solve the problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft SQL Server?

In my opinion, there are license cost problems and maybe the program can get summary of a data when needed.
