What do you like best about Microsoft SQL Server?
Many IT professionals tend to shy away from database management as they feel it to be tedious and require special knowledge. MSSQL, while complex, gives a UI that makes the system much easier to use. What I truly like best is the idea of what SQL supports, being able to create applications that run off of a SQL database, that streamline business operations. Often times, many businesses have a very manual way of doing things, but a simple C# (or other language) application can increase efficiency, visibility, and profitability very quickly. It is applications like Microsoft SQL that make these applications possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Microsoft SQL Server?
The non-intuitiveness of security, or managing multiple users. For a company without a dedicated IT staff, scripting may be tedious. When I have came into an organization that had already or was currently adopting Microsoft SQL, the headache they experienced when managing the security of multiple (and new) databases was great. The previous statement rings true more so in an environment lacking active directory and containing a substantial amount of users. However, through building SQL statements, creating databases and copying security settings becomes a non-issues. All that to say, without someone who is familiar with databases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
