Microsoft Access Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Microsoft Access to track employee information, organize employee data, and prepare employee communications. It provides a central system for tracking certain data when other tools are not as appropriate. It is a helpful tool for archiving and storing information and providing a reference point when employee questions arise.

Likelihood to Recommend

Microsoft Access is well suited for most database related tasks in our nonprofit organization. It allows us to organize data and access the data for specific purposes, such as employee communication and tracking previous employees. It is not as well suited for tasks related to production of printed materials where flexibility is helpful.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Microsoft Access as an inventory database for large-purchase orders of materials that we in turn convert (custom, based on customer needs/designs). Once a shipping container has been received and the material(s) tagged, they are entered into Microsoft Access with dimensions, lot/batch numbers and quantity. At this point, the primary users are our Sales team, Order Costing & Material handlers.

Likelihood to Recommend

As a Material Purchasing/Planning/inventory tracking application, Microsoft Access serves its purpose well. It's presentation is clean, data entry is simple and the ability to customize search fields is welcome.

It does, however, come with some caveats; namely, when setting search filters and the need arises to back up a step or two, with Microsoft Access you have to reset, or "clear all", adding extra steps/time to a query.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Microsoft Access is a great tool to help our company organize data in a way that functions for us. It is a flexible program that allows us to create a database that is tailored to our specific needs.

Likelihood to Recommend

Microsoft Access is great for small or mid sized businesses. It is an inexpensive way to organize and track your data. It doesn't function well on a large scale so I wouldn't recommend it for extensive amounts of data.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Microsoft Access for database management, templates, printing name badges and recording tallies.

Likelihood to Recommend

<div>Best suited for printing name badges and name tents from a database.</div><div>Decent for emergency need for database management.</div><div>Less appropriate for long-term use and record keeping.</div><div>Not great for team use, since file gets corrupted when shared in Dropbox and email.</div><div>Not compatible with sharing between devices with different version updates of the app.</div>

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our organization uses Microsoft Access to create and manage databases based on our unique data sets. Access gives us the flexibility for different staff members to generate reports for their programming needs. We also have the option to view the database in different views. This is important since the level of technological competence differs for staff, so having the option to view data in different ways is more meaningful and helpful to staff.

Likelihood to Recommend

Access works great for small databases where we want to be able to manipulate and look at the data in different ways. It doesn't work too well as the size of the database increases. In fact, it begins to slow down significantly once the size of the database gets too large.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We needed a lightweight solution that could be easily integrated with our SQL server and could be installed on the user's computers

Likelihood to Recommend

It fits very well when few transactions are required to be processed but for our solution we had multiple installations on user computers that were synced in batches with our sql server.It is not suitable when the transactionality is high or the access of several users is required simultaneously, nor does it support large tables without significantly affecting performance

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Microsoft Access as our main tool for our database management. It helps us to attend to the day-to-day tasks that a company needs to perform in order to function. Being a software company ourselves, We not only use it to store our company data but also some client information as well and do not have any negative outlook towards it yet.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited for organizations that are looking for an affordable way to manage their database. Analytics and reporting are quite adequate as well. Fulfills the basic functionalities required for basic level organizations. But if you want something more refined and advanced there are other tools out there that will suit your purposes more.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Microsoft Access is one the best software in the database management system. In an organisation when one wants to make a report, Microsoft Access helps to do it perfectly. It is a software where graphic interface, Excel sheets are perfectly maintained. I am fully satisfied with the software. The software is very easy to use.

Likelihood to Recommend

For me it is a magnificent software and database management system. In this software data can be easily imported as there is no need to import data manually. It also provides free templates which make our work easier. The software is cost effective for an organisation. The interface is also attractive to do work here.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a corporate trainer, it was my job to learn how a company would implement Microsoft Access and then train its employees how to build, use, and access the data relevant to their job. It was used for specific departments to collate information, collaborate with other employees and serve as the next step when excel could not provide a reporting function.

Likelihood to Recommend

Microsoft Access can be easily implemented with training. It doesn't require expert level skill for basic reporting functions - but can be scaled to a complex database with sophisticated users. Its appropriate to consider if excel needs to be used to create reports, or if there are data entry needs - with corresponding reports.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

[Microsoft] Access has all of the functionalities needed to build concise applications for small offices or needs. The ability to utilize other database platforms like SQL Server is a plus. The ability to create full functioning applications in less than an hour is a big plus. There isn't much you can't do with [Microsoft] Access if you understand that it isn't meant to be an enterprise tool.

Likelihood to Recommend

<div><div><p>[Microsoft] Access allows you to create places to store data in an easily retrievable fashion, allowing multiple users and form views for display and data entry, reporting, and data analysis. Easily mitigable to SQL Server, as you continue to grow. I've turned many an [Microsoft] Access database into a front-end for SQL Server. The Application looks and behaves like the other Office products, making it's introduction to new users fairly simple and straight forward.
