The web version of Microsoft's greatest database server on their most feature-packed and secure OS

  • By David W.
  • on 01/13/2022

What do you like best about the product?
The web version of SQL Server is always good for using on a web server, offering you and your .NET developers a database server they're comfortable with at reduced licensing costs. SQL Server 2016 introduced a lot of great new features, and SQL Server 2019 offers you vast security (such as headless mode, and modern updates) to ensure your web host is protected.
What do you dislike about the product?
Licensing has got more complex, and of course, there's always an additional fee to pay for hosting when using Microsoft vs. open source products - but the trade-off is you will find many more .NET / SQL devs than others.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used SQL Server 2016 Web on Windows Server 2019 for our web hosting on an AWS server.
