SQL Server Reviews

It's a solution that's always on.

It has High Availability, therefore provides failover if a node becomes unavailable.

• Few in SSIS
• Realtime data refresh in SSRS
• More datasources in Power BI

• Reliability
• Ease of use
• Extensive Knowledge Base to improve and maintain the product

The majority of the software frameworks utilised by companies I have supported use SQL Server by Microsoft as the application's database management system. It always been reliable and consistent providing tremendous functionality for many years. 

The user interface can be improved through the adoption of the intuitive interaction design of the MS Office 2013 applications.

I previously used MongoDB before the stability of innovative products still remains questionable in both theory and practice. 

100%.

I am a professional and I use this SQL Server in different companies. One of the companies I worked for was in the automotive industry. They had automobile products which they developed the SQL Server and database. At that time it was the first time I used SQL Server. I have also used Suprema which is a biometric system that also had an SQL Server. Our main products for data we have used SQL Server. However, my main application is developed on Oracle and MySQL, not any other database solution.

All of our systems use this solution, it can control security, data management, and integration. 

Many developers like SQL Server.

The solution could improve by having more integration with other operating systems and other platforms.

I have used SQL Server within the past 12 months.

SQL Server is stable.

The solution is scalable.

I have used MySQL.

If you follow the restoration policy, the installation is not a problem. If you want connectivity in the application then you have to open the ports and configure them. Otherwise, I'm very pleased it is very simple.

I can do the implementation myself.

SQL Server is under a license from Microsoft.

I would not recommend this solution.

I rate SQL Server a six out of ten.

We use SQL Server for collecting and storing our data.

I like that it's relatively stable.

It would be better if it had more integration with other systems.

I have been using SQL Server for over five years.

I think it's scalable.

It's relatively stable.

Technical support is good. When I have a problem, they're responsive.

I've tried to do the initial setup, and I don't think it's that easy. But I think the configuration is normal.

I set up and deployed this solution myself.

I would recommend this product to new users.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give SQL Server an eight.

We are using SQL Server for internal development projects.

SQL Server is easy to manage because all our DevOps team are familiar with it and simple to access because it is cloud-based.

The solution could improve by being more user-friendly.

I have been using SQL Server for approximately 10 years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable, we have found it to be vertically scalable, but horizontal scaling, we have not used it for this purpose.

We are mostly using this solution for internal use, not for public services. We have approximately 10 developers using it.

My experience with technical support has been an average level of satisfaction.

The installation is easy.

We have one individual that is managing the solution at this time.

For our purpose, we are not required to have a license for what we are using it for.

I would recommend this solution to developers who are familiar with Microsoft's platform. However, for others who work with Linux-based solutions, I could recommend something else.

I rate SQL Server an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for managing our database functions.

The solution is easy to use.

The performance could improve.

I have been using the solution for approximately four years.

I have found SQL Server stable.

I have found it to be scalable.

The technical support is good from Microsoft. We have four people that do the maintenance of the solution.

The initial setup is straightforward, it took approximately one hour.

I did the implementation myself.

There is a license required for this solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate SQL Server an eight out of ten.

Right now, we are using DB2 and the SQL Server. It's really helpful for the replication of data. It's real-time and very easy to use.

The product is very stable. We find it to be reliable.

The scalability is okay. 

The installation is pretty straightforward.

For now, we've found the features to be sufficient. I cannot recall feeling anything is actually missing.

The pricing of the product could be better. They could make it more reasonable or more competitive.

Microsoft's technical support could be better.

We've been supporting these servers for a couple of years at this point. It's likely been about two or so years. We've worked with them for a while. 

The solution is very stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. We're happy with it.

The scalability potential depends on the resources. If the resources are enough, we can scale it. For us, it's already enough. However, if a company plans to expand, it should be prepared for that beforehand. 

We have more than ten users on the solution currently.

Microsoft technical support could be improved upon. They aren't the best. They could always be better.

We also use IBM DB2. We support it for our customers.

We have found the solution to be straightforward. It's not overly difficult or complex. A company shouldn't have any issue with implementation.

The product implementation process depends on the needs of the client. For us, deployment was around 30 minutes to one hour. It's pretty quick.

The solution could be priced more competitively. We'd, of course, like it to be lower. Microsoft can sometimes be expensive.

Each customer needs their own license.

We use the solution both on the cloud and on-premises. 

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. We've been pleased with its capabilities overall.

I would recommend the solution to other users and companies. They should know that it is very easy to use. 

We had two people that handled the initial setup - an engineer and a manager. It's pretty easy to handle if an engineer is doing the setup.

The solution is used for database management.

I have found that SQL Server works very well in the Microsoft Dynamics environment.

There is room for improvement in performance when managing a large quality of data and a high number of active users. 

I have been using this solution for approximately 17 years.

I have found the stability great.

The scalability is very good. We have five people in my organization using this solution in my organization.

I have used previously Oracle MySQL, IBM DB2, and SAP HANA. They are better suited for large-size data management.

We have approximately 15 people handling the deployment and maintenance of the solution.

The solution is on a pay-per-use pricing model.

I would strongly recommend this solution to others wanting to implement it in a Microsoft environment.

I rate SQL Server an eight out of ten.
