Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft SQL Server
We use Microsoft SQL Server to provide a platform for our field users to input data for multiple purposes. We store contract data, financial data, time entry data, customer survey data among other data. Microsoft SQL Server gives us a single source of truth for a lot of our reporting. This allows us to have confidence that we are recording and reporting out accurate data.
- Integration. We use PowerBI and Crystal Reports for our reporting and it integrates seamlessly with either.
- Ease of use. Easy to learn and use. (Not the language - but the application)
- Protection. Easy maintenance and backup options.
- Licensing. Can be sometimes confusing layers and expensive.
- Efficiency. Can be memory intensive on larger tables.
- Server maintenance can be intensive as well.
- Flexibility - Easily able to integrate multiple sources of data.
- Scalability - From local instances to Azure instances.
- User base - You can almost always find a solution to what you are trying to accomplish from the community.
- Increased accuracy - We went from multiple users having different versions of an Excel spreadsheet to a single source of truth for our reporting.
- Increased Efficiency - We can now generate reports at any time from a single source rather than multiple users spending their time collating data and generating reports.
- Improved Security - Enterprise level security on a dedicated server rather than financial files on multiple laptop hard drives.
Microsoft SQL Server was our first choice as we are a Microsoft partner.
