Overall Satisfaction with Azure SQL Managed Instance

This handles our database instances for web based applications. Azure SQL Instances are a better use of our web based data than any other instance, and we can use it amongst other Microsoft products to create dynamic data driven content for leadership to make quick, decisive decisions that can benefit our customer base.
  • ease of use with microsoft products
  • data management
  • GUI interfacing
  • hard to use without Microsoft knowledge
  • Intimidating CLI
  • Commands are not intuitive
  • Decision Driven decisions have been quicker
  • Negatively cumbersome at start when training
  • Positive use of PaaS services instead of devoting VMs
Azure to our enviironment where we have everything integrated stacks up far better than MySQL where we would have to reinvent and use everything to fit a MySQL environment including the data and the commands within that data. Furthermore, doesn't work really well on SQL Management Studio which makes it completely useless for what we are trying to do.

Data management scenarios where there is a strong need to provide dynamic context for web based applications. Also can work as an infrastructure piece for ticketing systems without relying on another set of database software. The ease of importing data from Microsoft Excel &/or .csv files makes this really easy to use when importing data into the managed instance.
