Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Access

We use this as our data base. It is a great information management tool that helps us store information for reference, reporting, and analysis. Microsoft Access helps us analyze large amounts of information, and manage related data more efficiently than Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet applications. It is used across the entire organization. It helps our users store data.
  • Analyze large amounts of data
  • Manage related data
  • Helps to create connections between different entities
  • Not as in depth as other database software
  • More for home user use, not business
  • It is not designed to be used with applications that are web based since its forms and reports are only functional in a Windows environment and are not compatible with an internet browser like Internet Explorer.
  • It has helped us achieve our mission for our organization
  • It has limited the amount of users we have.
  • It has saved us a great amount of money.
Microsoft Access is better for novice users. It is very user-friendly and helps beginners learn data base rather than MySQL. MySQL is for more advanced users which have more experience. Access is also good for smaller organizations. It saves money rather than spending more on expensive software for much larger organizations.
Access is used for managing data: helping you keep it organized, easy to search, and available to multiple simultaneous users. [It] Can be used for SQL, but MySQL is better suited. It is also limited for multi users. Technical limit is 255 concurrent users, but real world limit is 10 to 80. It is suited for novice users wanting to learn a data base due to it being very user-friendly.
