Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft SQL Server

Microsoft SQL Server houses our databases for our CRM application. The CRM application is the core system that contains all of our company's information to function as a Distributor of safety products. The CRM application has many functions that would not perform properly without the use of the Microsoft SQL server.
  • Mircosoft SQL Server allows mutliple database to be set up for business purposes.
  • Microsoft SQL Server allows jobs to be scheduled after hours, when no one is in the office.
  • Microsoft SQL Server allows queries to be run to gather specific information needed.
  • Microsoft SQL Server allows security settings that will only allow specified users access. Easy disable employees no longer with the company.
  • Microsoft SQL Server has an activity monitor that will show any errors.
  • I have been using Microsoft SQL Server for 12 years and I have no complaints.
  • Holds all of the data needed to run our company.
  • Allows jobs to be scheduled to backup our data daily.
  • Easily allows restore of data from back ups if any issues were to occur.
  • Allows queries to be run and then results exported into excel.
  • Microsoft SQL server has had a great impact on our overall business objectives. It is truly worh the investment.
All of the platforms have their own benefit. I was not the decision maker in selecting Microsoft SQL Server, as it was already being utilized when I joined the company, 7 years ago. I can say that I feel more comfortable with utilizing this platform as opposed to the other ones.

Microsoft SQL Server is great, as long as the user is familiar enough with it. There are always free classes online that will assist with gaining knowledge. In my past life, I was support for users. Currently, I am the user. Anytime, I need to understand something that I am not familiar with, I simply google it and someone out there has an answer. There is never an issue with having too much data as it does hold a lot.
