It's a great tool when building the software, the ability to add SQL and No-SQL databases. Very convenient to write the queries and generate the filtered data we require. Gives the ability to export, import databases of various formats and generate reports from them. It might not be suitable if you want the data to be seen in a visualized manner Incentivized
Microsoft SQL Server is a great RDBMS and meets all of our requirements. If you need a stable DB platform to support your line of a business application you'll be well served. Licensing costs are far cheaper, more portable and a lot more user friendly than Oracle. Product support and security patches from Microsoft are strong.Incentivized
Table filters are simple and easy to useI love the ability to install plugins: Export tables to Laravel migrations is one of our most used pluginsSuper easy to connect to local Docker containers, Vagrant and remote DBs through SSHIncentivized
Easy to configure and use with Visual Studio and Dot NetEasy integration with MSBI to perform data analysisData SecurityEasy to understand and useVery easy to export database and tables in the form of SQL query or a scriptIncentivized
It crashes CONSTANTLY. If you have more than one connection tab open and close one of them, it crashes. If you just have it open in the background, it randomly crashes. If you're using it, it randomly crashes. When you try to send a crash report, the CRASH REPORTER CRASHES.Can be a bit slow.No way that I'm aware of to query multiple databases in the same query.Incentivized
The import/export process can be tricky to follow with lots of steps and could be better for importing flat filesObtaining help from Microsoft is cumbersome and often other internet sources are better and quickerThe documentation is not great and again it's generally better to obtain help elsewhere if neededIncentivized
We understand that the Microsoft SQL Server will continue to advance, offering the same robust and reliable platform while adding new features that enable us, as a software center, to create a superior product. That provides excellent performance while reducing the hardware requirements and the total cost of ownership of our solution.Incentivized
SQL Server mostly 'just works' or generates error messages to help you sort out the trouble. You can usually count on the product to get the job done and keep an eye on your potential mistakes. Interaction with other Microsoft products makes operating as a Windows user pretty straight forward. Digging through the multitude of dialogs and wizards can be a pain, but the answer is usually there somewhere.Incentivized

SSAS data cubes may some time slow down your Excel reports.Incentivized
It's open-source and very convenient to work with. I can easily import any database I want using a data dump and runt the queries on them to derive the data insights on the data. I might want to use Excel to visualize that, that might be one of the disadvantages.Incentivized
We managed to handle most of our problems by looking into Microsoft's official documentation that has everything explained and almost every function has an example that illustrates in detail how a particular functionality works. Just like PowerShell has the ability to show you an example of how some cmdlet works, that is the case also here, and in my opinion, it is a very good practice and I like it.Incentivized

very hands on and detailed trainingIncentivized
Other than SQL taking quite a bit of time to actually install there are no problems with installation. Even on hardware that has good performance SQL can still take close to an hour to install a typical server with management and reporting services.Incentivized
MySQL Workbench is a wonderful tool, but the routine editing of existing data is note nearly as straightforward as it is in Sequel Pro. The ability to sort a data view with a single click makes Sequel Pro my definite choice. phpMyAdmin is pretty ubiquitous, but the routine editing of existing data is much more cumbersome than it is in Sequel Pro.Incentivized
[Microsoft] SQL Server has a much better community and professional support and is overall just a more reliable system with Microsoft behind it. I've used MySQL in the past and SQL Server has just become more comfortable for me and is my go to RDBMS.Incentivized
SQL server does handle growing demands of a mid sized company.Incentivized
The user interface is great. Since all of our computers are macOS based, we can all use it and share knowledge with our colleaguesIt enables me to make things in such a faster way that it enables us to spend our time with coding and providing more solutions to our clientsThe workflow is much improved with the import and export feature, so we don't waste time with that kind of work.Incentivized
Increased accuracy - We went from multiple users having different versions of an Excel spreadsheet to a single source of truth for our reporting.Increased Efficiency - We can now generate reports at any time from a single source rather than multiple users spending their time collating data and generating reports.Improved Security - Enterprise level security on a dedicated server rather than financial files on multiple laptop hard drives.Incentivized
