Microsoft SQL Server Reviews & Product Details

It was easy to convert our current queries to be used into SQL. The login page is a bit finnicky Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes a bit longer than previous tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use, intuitive and fast. I like that I can navigate tables quickly and use less SQL to get the results I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the lack of intervention with Excel without establishing a data connection. I would prefer to have the ability to export directly to excel with dates, numbers and other formats carried over.

I also would like a mobile app to be able to run canned queries with minor changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SQL Server management tools is a solid management tool, and MSSQL integrates wonderful with a full MSFT stack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The management tools don't live update. If run a script to change a table, the database explorer needs to be manually refreshed to see an update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

tends to be too costly but other than that thats it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I started working at Emerson almost 7 months ago and have been using the 2012 version of SQL Server Management Studio. The performance is great when writing complex queries and the intellisense makes writing queries very quick and efficient. The availability of online resources when looking for help in solving a problem is also a plus. The user interface is very straightforward and easy to navigate.

I don't have many complaints. There doesn't seem to be a way to automatically format SQL queries so when copy/pasting large queries, so I've had to spend a decent amount of time. Fixing indents after doing this. The licensing is also pretty expensive. Aside from those two points, I think it is a great product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SQL works well for my purposes. Have not encountered issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software seems high priced for its quality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Highly Available SQL Cluster Service is extremely valuable to our organization to be able to provide a STABLE Database Environment. The replica / clustering feature is extremely valuable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not as straight forward as it could be in relation to required installed Features. Not having FILESTREAM turned on, on one of our nodes caused some issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Always On Availability Groups are my favorite feature at the moment. I love how easy they are to set up and how well they work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately, as the product has grown, so has it's price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a Microsoft product hence the best integration with the Windows OS family. Also , it's scalability is impressive . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some applications cannot use MS SQL and other DB software has to be used, like Oracle. However, that is not Microsoft's fault

Support could be better as offshoring affects the quality of support received. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you have data, and you need to store it, SQL is the way. Easy to install, so many resources available for learning, and it's a stable program. SQL has great features for integration providing bridges for many applications to use and share data. The ability to relate data has to be the best feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes conversions of data types can be tricky, and it's not clear why they fail. The many choices of datatypes I'm sure are useful to some but cause confusion if you don't know what best fits your situation. Without a good description given in the program it's time consuming to research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
