### "Good tool for relational Database "

August 16, 2018

4.0

Pros

Works well with most programming languages. Can be used to get data and store relational data. Have very good customer support. Data export and import is very easy and user friendly.

Cons

I found that the software creates delay if the query is long and running on a large database. The performance can be improved. Also license is required from microsoft to use all capabilities of this tool.

It is quite easy to use compared to other softwares

### "Is a useful tool to manage SQL databases even using MS Office tools"

June 25, 2018

5.0

It helped me on my work to develop databases for a manufacturing process

Pros

I like the ease of integration with MS Office tools. In addition, working with Visual Basic is very easy and it allows the integration with other programming environments

Cons

As all Microsoft tools, the options to work are very rigid and do not allow to work at low level programming. There are some moments when it works very slow at my computer and the service spents a lot of resources
