SQl Server - Store Data at Ease
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Microsoft SQL Server from other similar products?
The main key difference between Microsoft SQL server and other tools is, that it has the business intelligence support and support of integrating with other big data tools like MongoDB etc. Compared with other providers here the integration and building of the scripts are very easy.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The stored procedure is one of the important concepts if we take any RDBMS tools, here in Microsoft SQL Server building the stored procedure is easy, and also the data backup part is very crucial in any organization but that can be done very efficiently here.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I have one suggestion as mentioned earlier, some of the cognitive capability needs to be added. So that would make this a great tool.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Amongst all the providers, I would say to go with the Microsoft SQL server. The reasons are the support which you are gonna get from the product team is incredible and in product wise, almost all the features have been covered and most importantly it's cost-efficient.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
