"Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Reviews"
What do you like best about Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Standard on Windows Server 2019?

SQL Server 2019 on Windows Server 2019 is great because it’s fast, secure, and handles both big data and regular databases seamlessly. It’s also easy to integrate with other tools and works well for businesses of all sizes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Standard on Windows Server 2019?

The main downside is the cost—licensing can get expensive as you scale. Also, the Standard edition lacks some advanced features like online indexing or big data clusters, which are only available in Enterprise. Plus, it can feel resource-heavy on smaller servers.

"Excellent enterprise-grade relational database and modern OS"
What do you like best about Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Standard on Windows Server 2019?

I've been working with SQL Server for 25 years or so and love it; as a WinForms and .NET developer and DBA it's been an excellent, robust, stable, and easily used database server. SQL Server 2019 takes it to new heights with all the advancements of the last decade including query store, in-memory tables, Azure (and AWS) replication, and many other things. Windows Server 2019 is also highly advanced with container support, its GUI-less core low-attack-surface installation and more. SQL Server 2019 on Windows Server 2019 gives you a great foundation for enterprise-grade cloud-first applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Standard on Windows Server 2019?

Licensing can be a nuisance to figure out, and can also be expensive when based on cores. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
