What differentiates Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics from other similar products?

It has integrated many Microsoft services like ADF, PowerBI, Spark, SQL etc It has severless pool, which takes data from external files. TSQL is so powerful

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

TSQL. also monitoring for pipelines and queries got easier. Ability to work in web with GIT integration for database is convenient. Sever less SQL pool is fast and good.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It sometimes hangs the queries and then we have to manually kill it. We cant create PowerBI datasets here nor we can query from them, which if allowed will make it extreme powerful.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Its all in one tool, if you use Microdoft stack, its a go.

Pros

Microsoft provides both the platform and the data center, so you don't have to look for a cloud vendor. It saves you from having to deal with two vendors for the same task.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The most valuable feature is the scalability.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The performance needs to improve in future releases.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Unfortunately, we have had some issues with the dashboard reporting. Sometimes, the data for specific periods would just appear blank on the dashboard.
