Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and others in Relational Databases Tools."The solution scales easily."
"We have found the solution to be scalable."
"It's easy to use and fairly intuitive. I do development and data analysis, so we do a lot of work with SSIS and SQL Job Scheduler. Deploying new databases is very simple with things like BACPAC."
"It is quite reliable in cluster configurations and has helped me to reduce downtime and improve SLAs."
"For my business requirements, the performance is good."
"The main feature of this solution is ease of use."
"Features like autoscaling, business continuity, and security are beneficial. The tool's compatibility with almost all of the enterprise-class applications is also beneficial for users."
"The availability is the most valuable feature. It has high availability. It also has good performance."
"Since we can automate most of our tasks, it means that the management is very easy."
"There are very limited resources available in the market in terms of implementation. They need to offer training plans for graduates so that more resources are available in the market."
"Something that could be improved is the cost because it's very high. That's the only thing I'm concerned about but the technology is good."
"It needs to be improved to handle big data for large volumes of transactions for big industries. As compared to Oracle Database, SQL Server is not suitable for big data or large organizations where the database size could be more than 100 GB or more. In our country, for a large database and a large volume of transactions, we normally use Oracle Database. Most of the large banks are shifting from SQL Server to Oracle Database because of its slowness."
"Sometimes we experience issues with its stability."
"Other than Synapse and the other version of SQL Server, they face some problems while processing the data."
"In terms of improvement, it could use more integration with other products."
"In terms of what could be improved, everything on-premise is now moving to the cloud. Obviously SQL Server has also moved, because Microsoft Excel has its own cloud called Azure Finance. Every solution comes with its own advantages and disadvantages."
"The pricing could be better."
"One thing I don't like about SQL Server is the way they've set up security with users and groups. It just doesn't seem that intuitive to me. Adding some more explanatory information might help some."
