SQL Server Reviews

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.

We use the solution for managing database information from our clients and for testing database access.

I would like to see the integration with other platforms improved in the future.

I have been using the solution for four months.

The solution is stable.

I have found the solution to be scalable.

The installation is really easy.

I would recommend this solution to others and we are going to continue using it.

I rate SQL Server an eight out of ten.

We are a software development company. Most of our developers use SQL Server. We plan to continue using this solution in the future.

We use SQL Server for relational database management.

We have a variety of customers who use it in the government sector and in the tourism sector.

The time series database could be improved. There needs to be more storage space for large documents.

The user interface and the reporting could also be improved. It's not bad, but it could be improved upon.

I have been using this solution for 20 years.

SQL Server is both scalable and stable.

The technical support is good.

Installation was very easy. We had it installed within one hour.

One of our team members deployed it.

I would definitely recommend this solution to others.

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

It's a database that we use for our commercial applications, and our ERP sits on it.

SQL Server is definitely easy to use, and with the volume that we have, it's also stable.  Maintenance is much easier compared to other products. I may not be comfortable with Oracle because I don't have much experience with it. But in this case, SQL Server is much better for me. 

Performance could be better. But I don't know if it's a problem with my application or with my database. Maybe it can have the capability, but I may not be using it to the extent that it could be used, or the configuration is not as per the standard.

I've been using SQL Server for over ten years.

SQL Server is a stable solution.

The initial setup is very easy.

I implemented this solution by myself.

I would recommend this solution to potential users. If they have their own in-house team, they can manage it very easily. Microsoft is always easy to manage. It's a product where no expert is required for its maintenance.

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

We use SQL Server to store, retrieve, and manage data.

This product works well, serving as our operational database.

The interface is user friendly.

Better integration with other platforms would be an improvement.

I have been using SQL Server for almost two years.

We have had no issues with stability.

This is a scalable product. It is being used in three or four projects with a total of between 50 and 100 people.

I have not been in contact with technical support for this project, but we use the Microsoft communities to get answers to questions that we have. For example, we have checked the settings to make sure that we are safe.

Overall, the support is pretty good.

The initial setup is definitely straightforward and can be completed within a couple of minutes.

The installation and initial setup were completed by our admin team. However, there are some drivers and additional components that I installed myself.

We always like to work with the best products, we are happy with SQL Server, and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

All our main DBs run on SQL.

Ability to convert to bigger DBs. It makes it easier to move or upgrade between branches.

From a DB administrator perspective, I would like to see more space requirements and space capacity history, so that we are able to see which DBs are growing, and by how much per day or week.

No issues with stability.

No issues with scalability.

Have not used tech support.

Straightforward.

Plan ahead, and make sure do not pay for something you are not going to fully use.

Naming conventions are very very important. Make sure that your principle and mirror servers have the same disk space from the outset.

The way the product shows the execution plan and the facility to the developer and tests the SQL code.

The product is used in the core systems. It has been used since the beginning.

Better execution plans and better debugging.

Improved dependency of use of temporary tables to reach good performance in complex SQL.

I've used this solution for six years.

Sometimes the cross-database performance isn't the best.

No.

An eight out of 10.

I have used Oracle and I also use IBM DB2. All of them have pros and cons.

No.

Great product. Like any software, a good and prepared staff is the key to success.

There are lots of features including the analysis, database, and reporting, services. We use it mainly for reporting and analysis purposes.

The components I use are -

• SSAS 8.5/10
• SSIS 8/10
• SSRS 7/10

It has enhanced our real time decision making capabilities. It ensures we are up to date regarding our customers buying behaviour.

• SSRS should have more capabilities in terms of more ad hoc reporting
• SSAS multi-dimensional expression queries should be more simple

I've been using it for the last five and a half years.

With the latest version, it's very easy and intuitive.

We had a stability issue with the SSRS component when we deployed it into the production environment.

Not much of an issue to date.

9/10.

9/10.

We were using a solution from Informatica for ETL purpose, which was 8.5/10, but now we are doing it through SSIS, because it is easy to use and its cost.

The migration was, as always, a hard job, but we were able to migrate successfully.

We implemented it in-house.

We are pleased with the level of our ROI.
