Microsoft Access

"I love that you can quickly learn the most important things about database interaction."

"I've used it over and over again. My favorite thing about this software is that it's easy to use, especially for beginners who want to start learning how to report for Data Management."

"It's good for translating raw data into insights with its great Data mining features. I can use queries to query any criteria specified based on what I'm using the information for."

"I have been using Microsoft Access for 8 years to set up various databases used to manage our telecom platform and I find it very useful and make full use of the many features."

It is difficult to manage large databases and it is not possible to improve performance by using MS Access.

We're able to use this program for our very intricate consignment program. We have also now been able to expand and use this for inventory purposes as well as pull reports.

It's slow due to having to be on the server. I wish it functioned more as a CRM and could hold more customer info without slowing it down. I also wish it could integrate with more programs and apps.

The way I can customize reports and queries to produce the information that I need in the format that I need.

Microsoft had said it was going to discontinue the program, so we changed before that happened and struggle with a different approach for two years before realizing they had changed their mind and kept it.

It can be challenging to format the reports, but I eventually figure it out.

It has tools that allow you to save time when generating a system that will be used in a single computer, in addition to being able to easily generate reports.

Large databases become difficult to maintain and manage, and there are no options to improve the performance of the database from within MS Access.
