A stable, scalable solution with excellent administration

What is most valuable?

The administration is the solution's most valuable feature. It's quite easy to install and use from a local machine or laptop, as well as on a server.

What needs improvement?

The lock files and login are two features we've had issues with. As far as I can see, there's no way to switch off the login in SQL Servers. If there could be a way to switch off the login, for transactions, or in operations, or tables, that'd be great.

What other advice do I have?

We use the on-premises deployment model. In terms of advice I would give to others, I would say that if they want to evaluate it, they should install a SQL Server Express.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

What is most valuable?

What needs improvement?

The only issue that I have is that it depends on hardware resources, it takes a lot, that is the only set back with the solution. What we are using is fine for now. I believe that the newer versions 2016 or 2018 SQL have improved a lot and have all of the features available. It would be useful to… more»

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Because it's the 2012 version, it's a one-off enterprise license that we have never had to upgrade. It's a perpetual license that you install and that's it. There are additional fees to this solution.

What other advice do I have?

Based on my experience it's easier to use, and there are a lot of resources online that can give you a headstart. By comparison, Oracle Database is complicated to use. I like the ease of use and quick data usage. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
