"I have experience with this product for many years. I never have problems with it. It can handle a PC, and it can also handle huge data. It is fast and efficient."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is that it's integrated with the Visual Studio and also with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. It's a tool they have and it's quite easy to use and understand. It's the interface for programming for SQL Services."
"We have found there are many useful features such as the solution is continually being upgraded, ETL capabilities for extracting and transformation, and it is very easy to use."
"The pricing of the solution is okay. It's less expensive than Oracle, for example."

"The performance is reliable."
"The most valuable features are programmability and reliability."
"It integrates well with other platforms."
"The solution should have a more user-friendly user interface."
"In the next release, I would like to see a better user interface and a familiar syntax."
"The stability of the solution should be improved in the next release. Sometimes it is great, sometimes it is troublesome. I would also like data conversion and the code pages to be a bit more straightforward."
"It would be nice if there was a feature to search for a specific value across multiple tables. This would save a lot of time for its users."
"There should be more tools and documentation for tuning the performance of Microsoft SQL Server. It would be nice to have more tools for tuning because currently, all the tuning that we have to do with our databases is almost manual. We have to read a bunch of knowledge base articles, and this information should be better documented. Its free text search should also be improved. It is quite important for us. Currently, we're developing our own free text search because of the lacking flexibility in Microsoft SQL Server. Therefore, we're kind of using elastic search and making different implementations in order to reach our targets. Using just the native free text search of Microsoft SQL Server is not enough for us. It should have more flexible features as compared to the current version."
"They could improve the solution by allowing more portability between on-premise and the cloud."
"The performance could be better."
"As we have faced problems with the solution in both the past and present, I feel it could be more stable."
"We have no vision. We don't know when or how we have been hacked."
