"Windows Server and SQL Server work nicely together"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Windows Server 2012 RTM + SQL Server 2014 Enterprise - Enterprise Ready?

SSMS (SQL server Management Studio) can run nicely from your PC or on the server itself.

SQL server 2014 has the DROP IF EXISTS command which is great

SQL server 2014 supports XML

Microsoft's flavour of SQL is tried and tested and works excellent

Windows Server 2012 has an excellent Hyper V virtualization server and 2012 can be the host or the VM OS.

Server 2012 R2 has a slightly tweaked UI with the Start button back. I recommend using "Start 8" to make it more properly usable though.

Server 2012 is a massive improvement over 2008 with a vast number of other features.

Works nicely in Azure on the cloud Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Server 2012 has the eccentric Windows 8 User interface which many people hated.

Server 2012 is end of life support in <1 year
