"I love SQL "
What do you like best about Microsoft SQL Server?

I love that it is so easy to use. I learned very quickly how to use it. I love that I can save my queries and I can easily manipulate and get new queries. I love that I can export my data to excel. It comes in handy for several reports that I need. I also really like that when I look for certain data like transactions everything is laid out very clearly. I also have the ability to do training for SQL through my company which is really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft SQL Server?

Our version is really slow. It is really slow to come up. Other than that I really don't have any complaints about it. It is really helpful for the retail industry and I like it a lot. Maybe we need a newer version because it does take it a really long time to load on our systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
