"Easy to learn the basics"

5/5

What do you like best about Microsoft SQL Server?

SQL is an incredibly powerful tool, and not too difficult to pick up. Using SQL Server makes it quite easy for anyone to write simple queries, and given some time and practice most people can pick up the syntax and write their own intermediate level queries.

SQL Server is also pretty easy to integrate with stats platforms like SAS and R, as well as with data viz programs like Tableau. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft SQL Server?

Learning to do more than the basics can take considerable time and effort. It's not for everyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
