Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Enterprise - Proven platform for enterprise your database operations
Reviewed on Aug 09, 2022
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of deployment and installation. Integrates very well with other Microsoft products and the cloud. Very easy administration with Microsoft SQL Manager. Ability to run SQL script on the management console.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes databases need to be repaired/recovered after certain restoration operations when restoring from DB backup. It would have been nice to have a repair option in the interface instead of using the SQL commands to attempt recovery with the restore option.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Microsoft SQL Server 2017 on Windows 2016 is our main database warehouse for managing all databases within multiple RDBMS platforms. From a single management console, we can easily operate and recover all our databases. In the past we were running several versions on different databases (including different vendors). Management of all those systems required skills as well as a learning curve. Having migrated to a single uniform platform allowed us to manage our database more efficiently and efectifely.
