Microsoft Access Reviews

A good database and query solution

Comments: find for small or quick projects, but sometimes lacking for more complex needs

Pros:

Compatibility and familiarity with all other Microsoft product family

Cons:

feels somewhat less powerful and functional than other database and query engines

Microsoft Access & SQL

Comments: In general MS Access is great tool which can be used to manage small company data, reducing the need for lots of spreadsheets.

Pros:

If you are a beginner to database management and dash boards MS Access is a good place to start. It then has the additional features to connect to other databases such as SQL. There are also many customization you can make with VBA.

Cons:

After using Access for many years the updated versions would often have different file types and previous VBA would become redundant. This seems not to be such a problem in recent years.

I have always been a fan of Access

Pros:

I love the functionality of it. We used it to make a database for our customers. It worked really well! Highly recommend for anyone looking to create a database.

Cons:

It was no longer supported and so we lost our database and had to switch to an online provider.

Access is ok for low level needs

Comments: I did not love our overall experience with Microsoft, I was most happy when we no longer had to use it.

Pros:

It was very intuitive to use and like other microsoft products.

Cons:

The inability to put multiple donations in and have them show when we pulled reports.

Thank goodness for Microsoft Acces

Pros:

Microsoft Access has been around for more than 30 years for a reason. It's useful and I couldn't do my work without it.

It's usable, but complex. Thankful for lots of YouTube videos to help teach me lots of cool solutions for best practices with using Microsoft Access.

Evergreen - Access

Comments: Positive with an improvement in office workflow

Pros:

Access is a full-fledged database program will all of the necessary features

Cons:

Sometimes its a bit difficult to know why an item is ending up in paste-errors.

Access the list and the report

Comments: Working with Access can be as small as creating a table listed with names, address, and telephone number to as big as analyzing report information in a big company.

Pros:

It stores, creates reports and tables. It uses tables to store data and you can share the created reports.

Cons:

Limited at working with other databases it has some restrictions.

Creates Databases with Ease

Comments: This is by far the hest software for creating databases ive ever used. It helps create databases for medical data entry that companies still use 20 years later.

Pros:

I love how easy it is to create databases for companies with this software. The graphics are awsome and it gives you all the settings and options on a easy to use platform.

Cons:

It sometimes has trouble importing files from other databases not created with Access giving you a mess to clean up.

Flexible and powerful.

Comments: It has been my preferred developing platform for years.

Pros:

It is super easy to develop any kind of application using VBA.

Cons:

You cannot create executables, this forces you to have MS Access installed on the PC where you want to run your application.

Premier consumer database

Comments: Absolutely critical to our business and very powerful.

Pros:

Great functionality in helping us create databases as well as workflows with permissions. Can perform and monitor most business functions.

Cons:

Overall user interface is challenging at times and is not a very intuitive learn.

Your choices are limtied

Comments: Access does it's job well for being a self contained DB program. There are "free" alternatives, that are good for using with access, but when starting from scratch I would still push for Access first.

Pros:

Access is Industry standard for in-house database and finance management in my opinion.

Cons:

Since Microsoft has gone 360/cloud, you seem to get a lot less value for the money. Previously a version of access or office could last you several years with updates, hence Microsoft's promise to update for life once you purchase a product - now you just can't purchase a product anymore, you have to "subscribe"

Brian’s Review

Comments: Overall I recommend this product that I use quite often to everyone and anyone.

Pros:

"It is a viable and strong framework for information assortment and its administration. Simple to utilize and coordinate, you don"t should be a specialist to have the option to overseeing it."

Cons:

"The arrangement of the server was truly extreme. At the point when I needed to set it up on one of my clients' machines, it required me several hours to sort out where libraries were going wrong."

Best solution for small business

Comments: I found it as the first step to beginning development, it's elementary and straightforward and can automate any procedure or process.

Pros:

Access enables the creation of database-driven applications quickly. It offers pre-built elements like forms and reports that may be readily altered and integrated into the application, as well as templates.

Cons:

Large-scale or enterprise-level data requirements could be difficult for Access to handle, despite the fact that it is appropriate for small to medium-sized databases. Dealing with a large amount of data or complicated queries may cause performance problems.

Perfect for Data management file for small to medium type of organization

Comments: As a newbie learner apps a like tools developer , this apps is for you. Its convenient to use. It needs no enough knowledge in VBA language to develop a simple data system but its compulsory to know programming to have an appealing one. For an office to have a nice office documentation, this is recommended.

Pros:

I like MS office access because its easy to use specially if someone is using a developed system developed by some users for easy functionality. Its good for office documents and reporting. It can handle large data files. For small developers using this software, easy to use and convenient. Not needing more vba knowledge to creates a simple system, Easy to create tables, query, forms and reports. Buttons are ready made. You just need to follow proper clicking of commands to get the right function. More convenient that MS Excel.

Cons:

If not properly setup in a network can affects its full functionality due to overloading of users. It may stop on working and need to restart the software again. It crashes sometimes if not properly handled.

Great for simple and mid-level databases

Comments: Whether you are an experienced programmer or a novice, Access is a great tool.
If you do not know SQL, Access can create queries for you. (not VBA though).
You can easily integrate Access with all other products - Excel, Txt files, SQL Server, Oracle, etc.
If you wish to dwelt deeper into programming - Access is a great place to start, after becoming more experienced, yo can start using SQL Sever, VB, Oracle, and databases and front end applications.

Pros:

If you want a relational database, and don't have hundreds of tables, 100,000+ rows each - access is a database to use. First of all it provides - Back End (tables), Front End (forms), Queries, and built in Reports. if you have many users, you can split - Master Database that will only have tables, and other databases linked to it will hosts forms and everything else while being linked to the main database. It utilizes SQL language and VBA so you can perform pretty much every command you need. You can add any control on Form or Table level to verify what users are doing to prevent errors. Regarding what I said about hundreds of tables - if you simply want to look through tables now and then, but not on regular basis, you can store data outside in large txt files, load them, an then remove. (For that using temporary copies will be most useful)

Cons:

I've been working with Access for about 20 years, many issues I've seen earlier have been fixed. Now if you wish to split a database, it can do it for you. Maximum limit for currency is not a couple of billions anymore (not a huge amount for Financial Companies) My least favorite part is compacting. Database often becomes to large and needs to be compacted before it crashes. Compacting still takes to long, and sometimes database crashes while doing that. I wish some king of automatic compacting can be done without asking the user.

Review about Microsoft Access

Comments: I have been working on Microsoft Access since my studies and after graduating from the Urban Planning Department, and I am still practicing it in my job, as it is the rest of the Microsoft group, such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, among the programs that are indispensable in many fields.

Pros:

• The main reason may be availability. Microsoft workplace licensing is a should these days and comes with it access. • Most of the time, within the absence of an appropriate information environment, access is incredibly helpful for making a info, which might be simply achieved through an access database with easy queries to extract information. In addition, creating I/O forms makes life a lot of easier to navigate through the database it's very straightforward and intelligible that beginners can handle easily...Where and what will this operate do. • the developer also can use it for his or her own news purposes, it's going to facilitate in data analysis and that they also can work on reporting. • we will even have information during a table format that customers can simply understand. making entity relationship diagrams for multiple tables and creating sample diagrams is incredibly simple

Cons:

• One of the downsides of the program is that with the massive range of information inputs, the applying becomes slower, that ends up in a rise within the time in extracting ANd process data. • Typically it produces a mistake because of an sudden ending that I ne'er understood. • It' not as climbable as alternative enterprise information solutions, though it will still do the task.

Perfect for Running Reports and Data Analysis

Comments: I can create quality reports monthly, and I can analyze a lot of data using it. It's helped me with all my clients' projects. Microsoft users should definitely consider this product.

Pros:

It will save you time when creating a system that will only get used on one computer, enabling you to create reports in an easily accessible format. Reports and various forms are available, linked to a programming code using programming languages, and complex arithmetic operations executed using code stored in the application. Also, adding tables and linking them together is very easy.

Cons:

Large amounts of data tend to cause the software to operate slower and it can't be purchased separately.

Microsoft Access Review of Group Collaboration and User Experience

Comments: I understood Microsoft access needs a more vigorous arrangement in information capacity regions where its boundaries are surpassed particularly with enormous informational indexes. I have been involving it for SMB data sets and can say it has been a commendable encounter. SMBs upscale their organizations at any point time and their information expands this is where I require some investment of MS Access likewise increments. Which makes me self-conscious in the midst of anxiety. The presentation is impacted over the long run as the information get greater in any event, when put away in the cloud. I would cherish an improvement with stacking time against bigger informational index. Additionally mix of MS access into new innovations like blockchain is important. I'm designing my strategy for getting around utilizing MS Access with blockchain exercises and the advancement has been empowering.

Pros:

Data groups can team up on a data set and tables progressively on the web application. This web Collaboration makes distant information groups profoundly useful without expecting to move out of the internet browser.

Cons:

Data groups can't team up through the work area application. Cooperative suers are exposed to the limit of their internet browsers. The User experience of the web connection point isn't so smooth and pleasant as the work area application which make information the board, storehouses and inquiries somewhat hostile with huge informational index.

Excellent product for low-level database management

Comments: Overall, Microsoft Access provides fast deployment, easy write times, security, and great data managment tools to make our business run efficently.

Cons:

The impossibility of purchasing it separately. Not everyone needs all the tools included in Microsoft Office 365

Microsoft Access - Legacy database

Comments: We ran our club database for many years on Access. We only switched away because we moved to a web based platform integrating other non-database features

Pros:

Very comprehensive features, everything needed present

Cons:

Not the easiest to set up without prior knowledge of system

Data analysis and Database programming streamlined with Microsoft Access

Comments: Have been using Microsoft Access as a part of the Microsoft suite, so the software is definitely tailored to such a scenario. Would appreciate if AI was also considered in version upgrades.

Pros:

Microsoft access is a great tool for data access and analysis, its is robust and straightforward. With the right training, anyone can use this and put meaning to a vast range of data. There is availability of several tools and templates, and integration with Microsoft Suite is exemplary.

Cons:

Not suitable for organizations who are responsible for analyzing large databases, as it has a finite limit. Additionally there is limited integration with other data formats.

Valuable and well integrated database

Comments: I have been using Microsoft access for over a decade. I have taught this softer to generations of students; a really valuable didactic tool.

Pros:

The full and perfect integration with all the other Microsoft products, like Word, Outlook, and Excel.

Cons:

The weakness in cloud capability and the lack of integration with other external software

Best For Small Office To Enterprise

Comments: This tool is very helpful for me, specially for organizing files without the need of very high programming skills. Beginner to expert can use this tool in a very easy way to learn.

Pros:

Database management functions make it easier for people, even beginner, to work with this software. There's no need for advanced qualifications to use this tool for everyday life.

Cons:

Data synchronization sometimes takes longer than it needs to be

The Quick Data-Driven Application Development Tool

Pros:

The best part about Microsoft Access is the combination of a data source, graphical interface design and automation into a single environment without the need to compile anything for quick development. The deployment of the application can be as simple as distributing or sharing the file. If there are multi-user needs these can be handled just as easily.

Cons:

Occasionally data corruption can be a thing for multi-user situations. Also, when working within the various versions (2003, 2010, 2013, 2016, etc.) and the changes made to functionality there is an added layer of technical difficulty to deal with.
