"SQL Server is a stable product."
"SQL Server's most valuable features are that it is a large number of community resources to help you out. that's one, and then it is quite powerful."
"It is secure, and it is fast. For our present database size, we are using the Always-On feature on SQL Server so that our transactions are replicated among three servers. If one server goes down, we can find the data from other servers. We have benefited from this feature."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."

"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."
"I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields."
"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."
"SQL Server could integrate better with other platforms."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"Indexing, as well as integration, are areas of this product that need improvement."
"Performance could be improved."
"The agility of the non-SQL-based features is relevant on the market."
"You do need to have technical knowledge in order to install the solution. It's not something a layperson can do."
"Due to the fact that I'm dealing with the product more as a data analyst, the SQL Server management studio is really relatively primitive compared to other more advanced tools."
