Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Access
Our organization uses Microsoft Access to create and manage databases based on our unique data sets. Access gives us the flexibility for different staff members to generate reports for their programming needs. We also have the option to view the database in different views. This is important since the level of technological competence differs for staff, so having the option to view data in different ways is more meaningful and helpful to staff.
Pros
- Individual entry data points
- Option for multiple individuals to access the database
- Ability to view data in different views
Cons
- Speed of functionality decreases as size of database increases
- Complex programming sometimes take a long time to run
- Both good and bad, all data is in a single file
- We have only been able to train about 20% of employees to the point of competency with Access.
- The younger workforce doesn't appear tolerant of individual level of data entry
