Pros/Cons
Pros
- Great assistance from Altyrex - committed resources at no cost to help implement, train etc. A lot of willingness to help us 'prove' the business case - i.e. make a success of the pilot project.
- It is great for setting up workflows that help us organize, reformat and clean up data we use in other applications and exports.
- Very useful to automate manual workflows with repetitive tasks. Python Integration helps to ease out the process.
Cons
- Nothing much I dislike, the only thing I disliked is that we have to use visual tool to view data every time, that slows the running time of the workflow.
- Costly license limits the use. Requires training for getting used to it.
- Perhaps having a pop up to show where the error lies in your work.
Pros
- Or if I need to generate a report quickly I can just directly query the Database through SQL in SQL Server Management Studio. All around great tools, great management, and great support/integrations.
- Overall, it is good and best for Large size of projects which has more support. So any impediments can solve easily.
- What I like about the software is the excellent view of the tables, easy client connection, managing your database from anywhere. I also like that they are reliable.
Cons
- It can be confusing to understand the less than simplistic queries. There is a lot of functionality that you can get lost and have errors.
- It may get tedious to debug errors if you are trying something extraordinary. You may not understand the error which could cause this problem.
- The most irritating thing is when I try to restore a backup of newer version (2014) to older version (2008), it gives compatibility error.
