Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Access
[Microsoft] Access is being used by various departments in the organization. I use it to combine databases with joins, such as combining data within 2 Excel files. It is very useful, because a lot of people at the company manually combine data, or use vlookup. Vlookup is good sometimes, but you only get the first occurrence of the match, whereas doing a join in Access lets you get all matches so you can decide what needs to be kept
- Easy to use, and nearly limitless potential
- Fast when joining data sets, whether you are doing inner, outer, full or self joins
- Widely used software. Just about every company uses Access, or at least has it installed
- When joining data, if there could be a way to add columns for matches, instead of adding rows
- Low cost, included with office
- Most people have some knowledge of how to use Access
- [Microsoft] Access is more widely used and included in Microsoft Office. This saves the company from buying additional software
- Visual FoxPro (Discontinued) and Excel4apps
Visual FoxPro is a discontinued software, and no longer has support. Also, very few people still use it, or ever know how to use it. Excel is very popular, but [Microsoft] Access can do things like data joins much easier and faster
