Microsoft
Data management scenarios where there is a strong need to provide dynamic context for web based applications. Also can work as an infrastructure piece for ticketing systems without relying on another set of database software. The ease of importing data from Microsoft Excel &/or .csv files makes this really easy to use when importing data into the managed instance.

Azure to our enviironment where we have everything integrated stacks up far better than MySQL where we would have to reinvent and use everything to fit a MySQL environment including the data and the commands within that data. Furthermore, doesn't work really well on SQL Management Studio which makes it completely useless for what we are trying to do.
