Microsoft Access Reviews

"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.

I have used Access over the years for many purposes, from employee databases to customer management to logistics and inventory tracking. My favorite feature was a combination of having all the data I needed in one place, and being able to customize the end reports to show and manipulate the visibility of just the data needed for myself or a supervisor. Instead of giving them a spreadsheet, I was able to give them a tidy report with just what they asked for, which made the bosses happy.

Access is, as its core, a data management tool. The very feature that makes it so awesome also makes it cumbersome - it can be really hard to move around a large database and get to the entry points you need. This is surmountable by building an entry form, but not for the faint of heart or the casual user, either.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Easy managing databases with simple suit, no coding for relationships between tables, just click and dragg.
Field control, data control options are awesome which to provide easier method than to code it, while for advance scenarios vba coding also available and can be done.
Forms, reports, queries are designated separately but linkage available.
Quick output for most no debugging and complilation, objects can be dragged and thier position, functions can be set even with mouse only.
Universal access of program no special setting etc required if file is ttanafered to another PC.
Linkage for mysql server is also facilitated. Database import export can be made with. Excle,. Csv files too.

No remote access of files, user based restriction is to be designed, multi user access is limited. No track of devoloment status.
No log of maintenance is created.

I work on Access for 3 years and show that it help me to manage the data perfectly

User need tutorial before using it and some time changing the version is not a good idea

My favorite thing about Access is that it works well with Excel, and I like to transfer my tables from Access to Excel so I can do data manipulation on them and then return them to Access. Of course there's more risk in operating in this manner but it also enables me to do things that would be difficult or impossible with Access alone.

There's limits on field sizes when moving back and forth between Excel and Access that are frustrating and seem to me to be unnecessary with our modern, higher powered computers.

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.

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.

It is part of Microsoft Office product suite and maintains compatibility with other tools - import and export of formatted data. MS Access has built-in easy to learn Visual Basic development environment that allows to build user interface for data entry. MS Access comes with drivers to connect to other databases or text file data sources.

It is a Personal use software, it is not reliable when shared across network with concurrent access. MS Access is good and effective for small databases - up to several millions of records, up to 100 MB of total disc space used. It lacks User management, Backup and other important for Enterprise software features.

Yes, I can say more than a database. It is an effective program compared to its competitors in the current market. It is a very effective program especially in terms of time and cost savings. It has active support from small businesses to large businesses.System and resource requirements are almost nonexistent. Easy to install in any environment and operating system. Active customer support process, visually drag and drop technology can be done.Key Features include,* platform independent installation* Relational data tables* Advanced interface design,* Current and effective reporting techniques* User database security* Minimum cost and resource requirement* Simple and Easy user interfaceHe is at a level to lead all his rivals in the same class by far. Management and editing without any coding knowledge.

Increasing the storage capacity a little more will perhaps have the biggest impact on the market. I have no doubt that it will be unbeatable. But even at this level it responds to all our tests.

Deployment, write speed, secure access, data managment

Pricing can be expensive for small businesses

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.

Microsoft Access proved to be an easy to use and convenient software in storing large amounts of data. The ability to mine through data through the use of simple queries came in handy. Additionally, through the use of primary keys, duplications were next to impossible which was super helpful.

It tends to freeze, especially when running queries.

Price. Access is a decent database platform for organizations with uncomplicated membership and low budget.

Trying to see more data is hard - Access doesn’t give pretty charts or good data analysis options. Also it’s hard to track changes to records.

Access gives the user a wide range of features that enhance user experience and functions well in storing data.

Access isn't connected to other applications for easy transfer of data.
