"Best tool to store and maintain the data for different applications."
What do you like best about Microsoft SQL Server?

As I am using this product from last 6 years I am very much happy with the features that SQL provides some of them are:-

1. SQL is best for managing data in the relational forms so that the data integration and consistency maintain properly.

2. As SQL supports most of the data types like (int, char, varchar, float etc..) which makes developer life easy to integrate with and application and language.

3. SOL also provides the bulk insertion and extraction of data and also supports the different data source like excel , notepad and all..

4. SSIS and SSRA are the best and ever green feature of the SQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft SQL Server?

I do not have much complaints on dislike about the product .But just wanted to highlight one observation

Error handling mechanism can be much better so that the developer can get to know exact issue in SQL scripting.

Because most of the time SQL compiler not showing expected error message and no suggestion as well.

This is the only one I would like to highlight in dislike section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft SQL Server?

it is large scale so if you are looking for something lightweight for smaller websites it is probably not for you. it also takes some learning curve and is helpful to have a dedicated admin in full IT environments. however this can be overcome by the wealth of information available out there due to it's longevity as a product.

"A solid tool for business data management."
What do you like best about Microsoft SQL Server?

It is a powerful relational database that projects a sophisticated scope in the analytical areas of each document or in the information sources of a particular department, highlighting that I love its flexibility to an environment that is easy to use and understand once that its servers are installed on a platform, logically being one of my favorite aspects in relation to the system, mentioning that it maintains extraordinary access for users and its proper administration in general areas, since they are very simple in their entirety. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft SQL Server?

One of the most outstanding nonconformists of this system is related to payments for its support, which is somewhat incoherent, in which most similar systems proceed to establish these free services, highlighting that it is a very nefarious quality, since on occasions it tends to fail frequently, and requires the use of its support, being a very high economic commission, when it comes to constant use, without excluding that you must acquire more capabilities for generating reports.
