Overall Satisfaction with Azure SQL Database

Azure SQL Database is a big step forward for us, as we no longer need to patch the database server or patch the operating system. It's a truely SQL-as-a-Service which allows dynamic up- and down scaling of the server. Gone are the tedious tasks to configure the DB, even Recovery is pre-configured.

Pros

  • Up- and Downscaling
  • Setup
  • Backup and Recovery

Cons

  • A SQL-Worksheet Tool in Azure Portal would be really nice
  • RoI is great
It just works!
Azure SQL Database can be setup in minutes, not days like with Oracle
