Portable schema easy to use and integrate
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Microsoft SQL Server from other similar products?
Its interface is quite good as it is proprietary application software. The storage of multiple relational schema and access of operations is easy. CRUD operations are efficiently good in terms of response time.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favorite thing about this software is the automatic report generation to gain insights. It can also process multiple queries using two separate processing engines. SQL and PL/SQL engine.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The biggest lack is a lack of customization. Users cannot much customize things. Also, portability is only possible on the same version.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I recommend using the SQL server. As recovery is the most important aspect. And the recovery factor of the SQL server is excellent.
