"Microsoft SQL Server 2012"

4/5

What do you like best about Microsoft SQL Server?

SQL Server out of the box comes with number of great services/functionalities like SSIS (Integration Services), SSMDS (Master Data Services), SSRS (Reporting Services). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft SQL Server?

Particularly when it comes to coding and development in SQL Server, code reuse is pretty difficult to achieve. Performance tuning can be an issues sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Microsoft SQL Server:

In my opinion, Microsoft is improving in the right direction with SQL Server (e.g. SQL Server 2016 added support for JSON and R Services). Number of different services/features that come out of the box with SQL Server is very impressive and helpful when trying holistically find solution for business problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Hosting .NET applications, data integration, data warehousing and reporting and master data management. SSIS is very powerful and easy tool for data integration, which provided a lot of benefit for us when it comes to various ETL and application data integrations. SS Master Data Services has been a very beneficial tool for our organization when it comes to master data management, even so there are limitations to MDM functionality.

"Love it!"

5/5

What do you like best about Microsoft SQL Server?

This was the first software I used/learned right out of college. I only had exposure to Java for a semester and picked this up right away. I use many other programming languages and SSMS has a fantastic interface. I am in analytics and use SAS, R, Python, and SPSS and still go back to my roots in SQL. I download SQL Express, which is free, for my local data manipulation and storage. I enjoy how they are always updating the interface to be "slicker" as it makes the experience a little more exciting after every update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft SQL Server?

You know, there is really not much I dislike. I am getting into Oracle now and really miss SQL Server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Microsoft SQL Server:

Understand whether you need to scale SQL easily and often because you may want to consider using Azure for your solution for SQL Server. I have used both. Azure is VERY easy to use and install SQL Server. Do a test using SQL Express and then you can figure out how much you need to scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Data, data, data. I am a student, salaried employee, and independent contractor. I need something where I organize and store my data very easily. I do not like having a ton of .csv/.txt files all over the place, so I use SQL Express to store my data and then I can access it quick and easily! Then, I can manipulate the data very easily later on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
