Use Cases and Deployment Scope

This handles our database instances for web based applications. Azure SQL Instances are a better use of our web based data than any other instance, and we can use it amongst other Microsoft products to create dynamic data driven content for leadership to make quick, decisive decisions that can benefit our customer base.

Pros

ease of use with microsoft products
data management
GUI interfacing

Cons

hard to use without Microsoft knowledge
Intimidating CLI
Commands are not intuitive

Likelihood to Recommend

Data management scenarios where there is a strong need to provide dynamic context for web based applications. Also can work as an infrastructure piece for ticketing systems without relying on another set of database software. The ease of importing data from Microsoft Excel &/or .csv files makes this really easy to use when importing data into the managed instance.
