Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Access
My department uses Microsoft Access to help students understand the basics of database building, connections, etc. They will give assignments through the program that helps familiarize students to the program and how to look into and manipulate, build, and create queries, lists, and entities. They also use this in the department themselves to keep track of smaller things like student groups and the number of students within them. This program helps us address the problem of experience for students in the database side of understanding what their future job prospects might need experience in.
- Ease of use.
- Great teaching tool for experience purposes.
- The query creation wizard is perfect for helping students understand the workings of queries.
- This is usually the basic product of this type, there are more that allows for more flexibility and freedom.
- Could be more powerful in its dynamics.
- List building can be a pain for first time users.
- Since this product is enrolled into a bunch of other programs that we use on a daily basis, the ROI is great for this product.
- We don't have to buy a whole other database program for teaching purposes because we have this product with our Microsoft Suite.
- SQL sever
This product is a great way to help starters with database building and query building. It allows for the understanding of how the inner workings of a database go and its processes from the back side at an elementary basis. This does sacrifice the power that this product can do and puts it a little behind in its other competitors, but it still gets the job done.
