Support Rating

SharePoint/SQL is one of the best database managers compactible with all programming languages, that said I consider it the best.

Likelihood to Recommend

A simple and important scenario well suited is that you can configure alerts to notify you when the production server fails. another best feature is the report server is the central component of reporting services. For me something less appropriate is that the admin must ensure optimal performance for farm operations, they recommend that you install SQL Server on a dedicated server that does not run other farm roles and does not host databases for other applications.

Do you need powerful database Sharepoint/SQL must be your best option.
