"As a graph database, I am surprised at their performance and response time."
"The most valuable feature is replication because we had several replicas of the SQL Server database in different geographical locations."
"It is a pretty good solution. The on-premise version 2019 has many features, and they had introduced a really good and stable environment in version 2019. It has very good integration with big data clusters and other things. It covers pretty much everything that you can do with a SQL server. You can use any language to connect to it, which is not there in other solutions. They have also introduced Python, and it also has ArcScale. PaaS is a modern, scalable database. You can use Power Automate and a lot of features in this. It is very easy, and you don't have to worry about versions and upgrades. Microsoft keeps on adding new features to this solution. Microsoft is improving its connectivity on an ongoing basis. It connects well with Office 365. If you see something not working, in a couple of weeks, it is going to work because there is a team working on it. You can vote for the things that are missing, and Microsoft can work on them depending on the product that they're launching."
"I love SQL Server's Common Table Expression. In addition to that, I like its lead and lag functions. That helped us reduce a lot of code when comparing rows in SQL Server."
"SQL Server is essentially the backbone of every microservice. From a developer's perspective, it is the backbone of all microservices. The tool enables data retrieval, set data, and essential operations, ensuring the smooth functioning of applications. In essence, it is the integral part that keeps applications operational."
"The most valuable features of this solution are easy queries and straightforward programming for beginners."
"The solution can be deployed in a few minutes."
"I have found the whole solution with all its features wonderful."
"The interface is user friendly."
"So far, we have not had any issues and are happy with the product in general."
"There are concerns about performance and whether the tool can necessarily scale to provide the solution."
"The pricing could be more affordable."
"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 interface of the tool has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"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."
"Their datatypes need improvement."
"As SQL server could not support the number of connections we desired, we were forced to go with Oracle."
"The solution could be better integrated with the SQL Server Studio tool."
"The tool is expensive."
