No competitors provide the entire solution to one place

Pros

"I like SQL post, which is for storage and distributed computing. Another good feature is the copy activity. "

Cons

" Synapse Analytics needs to develop an automation framework because now you have to build a cache yourself. You have to build a pipeline in WhereScape, which does end-to-end pipeline automation well. Microsoft should come up with a framework to save people time. If they developed a tool like WhereScape, it would dramatically reduce development time."

Beneficial real-time analytics, simple setup, and useful tutorials

Pros

"I have not used the technical support from Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics, but I worked with the developers at Microsoft who were top-notch. "

Cons

"Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics could improve its compatibility with Visual Studio. One of the challenges for people moving from an on-premise to a cloud solution, such as Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics, is that you're constantly working in a browser. There are people that have been working for decades on desktop applications. For them to start working in a browser, it's quite a change. Allowing people to work and do their work inside Visual Studio than in the browser, would be a large advantage."

"The platform has multiple valuable use cases. They include performance, compatibility, flexibility, and cost. "

Scalable performance tuning and optimization for finance and supply chain jobs

Pros

"The biggest benefits are scalability and ease of use when looking at performance tuning and optimization."

SQL pool valuable for working with databases, quick with queries even in large datasets

Pros

"It's quite quick for querying, even with large datasets, and it's scalable. It's also flexible to use, so it's easy to update and get data quickly without wasting time."

Cons

"One area that could be improved is the schema management."

Reliable, expandable, and easy to set up

Pros
