Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft SQL Server

We use MSSQL Server along with SSIS and SSRS as it's a very competent software suite and very stable. It integrates well with other software that we use, namely JAMS Scheduler.
  • Easy to use
  • Reliable
  • Amazing integration with other software
  • The query optimizer is clunky
  • Performance tuning is difficult to use
  • It's expensive
  • Stability
  • Amazing integration with the MS SQL software suite
  • Easy to use interface
  • Positive: stability.
  • Positive: Ease of integration with third party software (JAMS Scheduler).
  • Positive: Great performance.

MSSQL Server is excellent for most organizations that have database needs. Typically businesses will be either a "Microsoft" or "Oracle" shop and it tends to boil down to the software used, as many require SQL Server to begin with. In my experience mostly small to medium sized business use MSSQL Server. For ETL, I find SQL Server the way to go as SSIS is better than Informatica, but that's my opinion.
