What differentiates Microsoft SQL Server from other similar products?
Ease of implementation and integrastion with other systems. MS SQL Server has been around forever and plays nice with all third party software and applications. It's integration with teams and outlook are also a huge pluse for failure notification or alert triggering.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Integration. I use SQL Server for reporting in Tableau, data amanagement for Power Automate Flows, independant alert triggering with Teams. and many more.
What do you dislike most about this product?
It can take a long time to catch up to newer versions, meaning not all syntax is supported in a query depending on the specific server you interact with, this can be annoying. On premises servers also have to incorporate gateways to manage communication, a pain, but doable.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you need a lot of data at a low cost and will only be integrating with standard applications, then this is the one to go with. After years in the market support is readily available online and most questions you have will have been answered many times over. If you need something that can connect directly with APIs or Open AI you might want to look at Azure or Snowflake
Pros
- Reliable
- Effective Service
- Enables Productivity
- Trustworthy
Cons
- Commodity Features
