"Good tool with various functionalities."
What do you like best about Microsoft SQL Server?

It contains various functionalities that are quite necessary when carrying out work development on this platform, we can mainly highlight that the user interface is very easy to use, which facilitates the configuration of our environment in large quantities, I like this sector of the software already which is quite colorful and innovative, offering the necessary information for a very convincing development, mentioning that it is quite striking, in other aspects, it should be noted that it does not need additional storage when changing our workstations, allowing to manage data in an extraordinary way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft SQL Server?

This software simplifies security configurations towards other platforms, which can be annoying since it can sometimes restrict access to these other integrated systems for greater ease, which is a large-scale flaw, causing a low work performance when implemented in the digital servers of a company, in other relevant aspects the price of the business version could be a little lower in the same way its licenses, which should be more understandable.
