It has eliminated all kinds of inconsistencies, and it is reliable, secure, and fast
I don't know whether SQL Server can support large organizations where the database size is more than 100 GB. It might be because of SQL Server, or it might be because of the programming of the software vendor, but a lot of people think that it is a problem with SQL Server. It can't handle a large amount of data or large data size. In terms of its usage, about 90% of our applications are running on the SQL Server database. We have around 1,600 users for our software, and all the applications are connected to the SQL Server database.

It's easy to port your projects over, and it is cheaper than other software on the market.
It is incredibly fast, much faster than Oracle in terms of compiling and processing speeds. It is very reliable, the software never crashes or gets overloaded. It is very secure, the true data never gets falsified or corrupted. It is very easy to port your projects over, and it is considerably cheaper than any other software on the market.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's a very capable, efficient, price-performant OLAP server."
"Similar to Microsoft SQL, it is easy to scale."
"Its usability is very good. Its performance is satisfactory."
"The columnstore index feature is useful for us, and we also use the integration services. It is also very stable."
"The solution can be deployed in a few minutes."
"For me, the initial setup is very easy as I have years of experience with the product."
"SQL Server provides good performance. Most of the SQL solutions can be integrated and this solution is no different, you are able to link other databases. For example, we have Oracle running a Postgres Server and it is linked. It follows the ISO standard when it comes to commands, it works well."
"It is quite reliable in cluster configurations and has helped me to reduce downtime and improve SLAs."
"The most valuable feature is compatibility with the Oracle database."
"Tibero is a relational database management system, which supports disaster recovery, active cluster, active storage, etc."
"Tibero uses Hyper-Threading architecture, which is incredibly fast."
"Tibero is very easy to setup and maintain."
 

Cons

"One stability issue I encountered was the deadlocking between calls to the same resources (tables, etc.). That was solved by row versioning."
"They could improve by adding the SQL format."
"SQL Server has good performance, but it could be better."
"From a development perspective, the solution needs to be a lot easier to understand or it needs to be easier to implement API packages for connection pooling so we don't have connection interruptions when, let's say, a hundred people simultaneously access the network on a given system, utilizing a specific or single database."
"In the next release, I would like to see a better user interface and a familiar syntax."
"Linux-based editions are not yet proven to be on par with Windows deployments."
"While using it, we really didn't experience any pain points."
"The solution's stability can be improved."
"In PL/SQL code, there is a scope of improvement. We expect more PL/SQL packages should be included in the next release."
"The knowledge base is quite small and should be expanded."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is on an annual basis."
"The cost is high and because it's an expensive product, we are in the process of moving towards open-source solutions."
"To scale the solution there are additional costs."
"Historically, SQL Server has been much more affordable than Oracle, which is overpriced."
"Depending upon your usage, you can use the pay-as-you-go model for a short period of time. For longer projects, we can opt for one-year or a three-year license."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper."
"It's cheaper than Oracle."
"It is something we have been using for a lot of years. If we're paying, it should be reasonable."
"The overall costs are very low compared to Oracle."
"The price of Tibero is cheaper than that of Oracle."
