### "Good storage"

March 25, 2024

5.0

Pros

I find it really useful as a database to link lots of spreadsheets when there is a lot of data. With Microsoft being a popular software of various applications having a familiar layout and to link to Excel spreadsheets is good. The queries that can be made is very useful to make things quicker

Cons

Those that need huge amounts of storage may find this gets a bit slow. But still holds a lot!

It's very straight forward to use. It's not fancy but it's reliable especially for very important tasks like our data migration

Overall awesome and best option for lite weight data management.

Pros

One of the best software for database management and it's ability to work with excel give it an edge from other database software.

Reason for choosing Microsoft Access

Because it can import data from excel.

### "The perfect data management tool"

November 6, 2021

5.0

Overall its an excellent tool for managing voluminous data. I would love for a feature to link different databases maintained on different computers but its still a 10/10 for me as it does what it was built to do.

Pros

I love the data mining capability, I use it to manage small loan balances as well as managing simple employee data. I love the query feature as it allows you to mine through thousands of data in a second. The primary key function really helps in preventing duplicated data.

Cons

At times the saved databases takes too long to open especially if the file is large.

### "Microsoft Access Review"

January 13, 2023

4.0

Pros

In my organisation we use access for time management on projects. It is great because it allows all users to input their data and time worked on a project and allows us to monitor time spent.

Cons

We have issues when multiple people try to enter the program, this sometimes causes loss of data.

### "Student Review of Microsoft Access"

July 10, 2022

3.0

I didn't like this software at all. It is very outdated. I think nowadays, there are better softwares than this one.

Pros

I think this software can be used for smaller companies that don't have much money to pay for an information system.

Cons

No one uses this software anymore. There's little information about Access in the internet, in case you have doubts. It also has some bugs that have never been solved, and I doubt they will ever be.

November 5, 2022

3.0

### "Data Management Life Saver"

March 23, 2022

5.0

Pros

I've been using the software in a little over 8 months now and I couldn't believe how I've survived work without it ever since I first used it. Before, I had to manually manage my database and I did it in Excel. Little did I know the wonders that learning a little bit of Access can do. Handling client data has never been so effortless.

Cons

It's not really a problem but Access has a bit of a learning curve but nothing that a lot of Youtube tutorials can't fix.

October 19, 2021

4.0

Our company stores and uses hundreds of different injection mold tools for around 100 companies. We use this database to inventory them by an internal # we assign and we give it a description and location so we can go into the shop and find it easily.

Pros

It is very easy to look up data using the binocular feature.

Cons

When programing, it can be a bit difficult for beginners.

### "Beginner's guide to database management"

May 28, 2022

5.0

Pros

MS Access was my gateway into the world of database. I like how you can build from scratch a DBMS that works for your need. In our case it was for a departmental library. You can integrate into other Microsoft products like Excel seamlessly.

Cons

I didn't like how MS Access if not available with the free version of MS Office. It limits users who do not have a paid Microsoft subscription.
