Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and others in Relational Databases Tools."The solution scales easily."
"It is one of the most stable relational databases out there."
"The most valuable feature is replication because we had several replicas of the SQL Server database in different geographical locations."
"Excel integration is one of its most valuable features."
"SQL Server is widely used and it's simple. You cannot do without Microsoft if you want to manage IT for a business customer."
"The product can scale if a company needs it to."
"Without any doubt the Integration Services and Analysis Services are the most widely used. These are the basis for data quality, data gathering, ETL process, as well as collation for the data warehouse, Cube-generation, and ad-hoc processes. The ease in which you may mold a process flow or even modularly add in new structures is something which is much needed in my job."
"It is a simple query language. It is consistent across all versions. If you start with an older version, move to the newer version. The same code will still work."
"We're satisfied with the stability."
"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."
"Performance could be better. But I don't know if it's a problem with my application or with my database."
"SQL Server needs to improve in performance and monitoring because there are no specific monitoring solutions to detect and analyze events for issues in the database. You have to use another monitoring solution. If Microsoft could provide an update to this solution or provide a monitoring solution specifically for SQL Server, it would be very valuable."
"Better integration with other platforms would be an improvement."
"It would be great if we were able to run it on multiple operating systems and not only stick with Windows."
"The performance degrades when the data is huge."
"It would be better if it had more integration with other systems."
"Improvements to the indexing, columnstore indexing, and high availability groups are good improvements for future versions."
"I do not think SQL Server is suited for a typical database warehouse environment. However, people do use SQL Server for data warehouse environments but the best use case is for very small databases. If somebody wants to store more than 10 TB of data querying then the performance really degrades. The performance should be improved in the future to allow more scalability."
