Though user-friendly, it fails to offer a mobile application to users

The product currently fails to offer a mobile application. In the future, I want the solution to offer a mobile application, especially since you can access the services via mobile phone with all the service providers like AWS and others. A mobile application provided by the product can help a user to see the status whenever needed.

Ideal, stable, good support and it helps with the developer console

I have used MongoDB, MySQL, and Oracle. MongoDB is entirely different. It's a NoSQL platform database, so it's totally different. It is a little bit hard to work with. The way it is organized and structured is different. But between Microsoft Azure MySQL and Oracle, they are pretty similar. * Cost: Microsoft is not a preferred platform. Their licensing is very complex and expensive. Oracle is much better. * AI: In terms of data analytics and AI, Microsoft is better. Certain complex transformations are easier to do in MSSQL. So, if you have to analyze data from a lot of different data sources, it becomes much easier. However, the usage of the particular product depends on the project. Personally, I would like to work on MySQL. But in certain cases where the application scale is very large, and custom models from certain regions of the globe prefer Microsoft, then we have to go with MSSQL. But technically, there is not much difference.
