[Microsoft SQL Server is well suited] as a comprehensive solution as transactional database, data warehouse, analytics, reporting and ETL. Able to communicate with Azure database environment.

If you use other Microsoft applications, it integrates well such as Excel and Access.

If you have limited resources to support and maintain environment this may not be ideal compared to a managed service or SAAS solution such as Snowflake.
