Microsoft MDS Pros and Cons

Its availability for a secured server is one of its most valuable features. Also its replications - we can manage eight replicas. Their clustering and availability groups are also valuable.

It is very easy to deploy and provision a machine.

Technical support is very good.

The most valuable feature is the administration console.

What I like about Microsoft, is that it has a huge database with many users.

They do not offer the SQL Server Management tool via the installation. It is a separate tool I use when I'm trying to configure the mirroring with SQL Server Mirroring. This is not supported and I'm getting some errors on the database mirroring.

Most of the Microsoft partners, especially digitally, are separate. Personnel are business people, and they do not have technical expertise, so you end up as a company spending a lot of money training your staff and your engineers.

The solution could be better integrated into Microsoft's other products.

In the next version, I would like to see integration with Azure.
