Find out what your peers are saying about MongoDB, Couchbase, InfluxData and others in NoSQL Databases."Creates the ability to visualize outputs."
"Enables people to understand what the business problem is and how the technology helps."
"As a graph database, I am surprised at their performance and response time."
"The solution has a reliable database."
"Enables us to convert to bigger DBs and more easily move or upgrade between branches."
"I think just having everything in one centralized set of databases where there is easily managed manageable."
"It's more user-friendly than most databases."
"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."
"Most valuable features include: high availability, clustering, save backup and recovery."
"The latest version supports for big data analytics. SQL Server's vector processing-based batch execution mode is now available to the entire execution of R or Python code. Since much of the work that tends to be done in R and Python involves aggregation, batch mode - which processes rows of data several at a time, can be very helpful."
"The features that we have found the most valuable are reliability, availability perspective, and current scalability."
"There are concerns about performance and whether the tool can necessarily scale to provide the solution."
"So far, we have not had any issues and are happy with the product in general."
"Its security can be improved. When you look at the Windows environment, it isn't the most secure environment. It is exposed to so many attacks. They continuously need to improve the security of the platform on which it sits."
"Our biggest problem with SQL Server is latency. The communication between the cloud and the on-premises environment is slow. The data needs to be encrypted for security, and you have to exchange data certificates between environments. You can adjust the configuration to improve performance, but it would be nice if SQL Server had some templates to resolve problems."
"The solution could be better integrated with the SQL Server Studio tool."
"From a development perspective, the solution needs to be a lot easier to understand or it needs to be easier to implement API packages for connection pooling so we don't have connection interruptions when, let's say, a hundred people simultaneously access the network on a given system, utilizing a specific or single database."
"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."
"The reporting services of the solution (SSRS and now Power BI) are the less valuable items of the SQL Server suite."
"Maintenance of the solution is an area of concern, and improvements can be helpful."
"I would like to see more integration with other platforms."
