Overall Satisfaction with Azure SQL Database
We had acquired a new casino and the move for them to be on our domain was TBD. We did, however, need data from some of their systems. Since they did not go through a full security evaluation yet, we were not willing to allow access to their end. As a solution, we implemented Azure SQL Database so we could push the data to the cloud, to then access it on our end. We would have the data without having to directly access their end from our domain.
- Scales easily
- Performance is solid
- It just works
- Elastic pools are great
- It would nice to have Azure SQL Database provide closer to full support of T-SQL
- Cross database queries
- More performance reports would be nice
- Serving a great purpose. We solved our issue and are using the cloud. The ability to scale up or down at will is amazing.
- I wanted to do cross data querying. It is not supported.
- The return on investment has proved it to be a great solution.
AWS's solution would be an alternative. I felt since we're a Window shop and already had a small investment into Azure, it was a no brainer.
