5/5

What do you like best about Microsoft SQL Server?

It is robust, secure, fast, and can help you manage your databases for almost any project. The write and read speed is awesome even for enormous databases, all you have to do is index your tables properly, and you will have no issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft SQL Server?

When managing enormous amounts of data, it can get slow if you don't index your tables properly. This is more like an issue on the administrator side, as the technology can give a lot of resources if you handle them properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SQL Server -the database of choice"

3/5

The GUI was at a time when good things were without graphics.

It was easy to use and configure and enjoyed working with it. With Visual studio, connecting to .NET is relatively easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not lightweight and you don't have many choices without the GUI. I mean with shell programming, not so flexible.

Secondly is not open source. Microsft should reconsider. You guys were not beside us when we developers were struggling.(2003..). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are quite a few things that are so great about Microsoft SQL Server. It has great performance while working with complex and high-volume data. It is well known for providing reliability through ACID properties. It is highly scalable and hence as business grows, server size can be expanded. Apart from this, it works great with other Microsft products and frameworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A few things which go south for Microsft SQL Server are its complexity and cost. The user will be required to learn SQL to work with a Microsoft SQL server and all the versions are not free hence based on the requirements, the user might to required to pay for a few of the services. Also, its mainly compatible with Microsoft platforms and hence does not as efficiently as Windows, with other platforms like Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
