Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

I consider that Microsoft Access is a database management application used to enter, search, classify and report information. Microsoft Access is easy to use and fully integrated with Microsoft Office software applications. Access databases can be customized to complete applications using development tools such as Microsoft Visual Basic and can be extended to more advanced products.
The systematization of information in access databases has prevented duplication of information, therefore, we have had the possibility of planning with real results and not assumptions of results that gave us tools such as excel. The consolidation of the information provides us with data for the analysis of the results, consequently identifying the problems that we subsequently want to correct and thus avoiding wasted time and personnel costs.

We're extremely likely to renew this subscription, as it is what drives some very vital information to a public facing website that our entire company has access to and relies on very regularly. We would be lost without this and I would be utterly shocked if we didn't renew it.

It is a great program and allows an ease of information flow and tracking. I've been able to find uses for it pretty much everywhere I go whether it be for a team of people or just to make my own tasks easier to complete. It seems to have the ability to find it's niche no matter where you go.

I and the rest of my team will renew our Microsoft Access in the future because we use and maintain many different applications and databases created using Microsoft Access so we will need to maintain them in the future. Additionally, it is a standard at our place of work so it is at $0 cost to us to use. Another reason for renewing Microsoft Access is that we just don' t have the resources needed to extend into a network of users so we need to remain a single-desktop application at this time.

Aside from supporting several systems that are still in use after years, and further development of these existing databases, Access continues to be a 'go-to' solution to rapidly prototype a data model. Such prototypes are useful, even when other larger solutions may later be selected for deployment, but often prove robust enough for actual usage as well.

It's the best data and information-collecting system I've known. If I had experience with other things, I might think differently, but I'm giving it this rating mostly because I don't know of other products that could effectively meet the needs of our company.
