Making database accessiblity to everyone possible.

What are the best aspects of this product?

This software is tremendous in letting users make referential databases. There are plethora of templates and tools that make things simple for a beginner to work on right away and create a solution that functions nicely. The UI is good enough to work with. All tools can be accessed by means of a search and menu. If you know your way around the Office products, then expect a similar experience with this one.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

While it appears that its features are fantastic to work with, it has its restrictions. It can also lead to some confusion. There are so many tools in there that are hard to get a grip on. The learning curve is way higher than those offered by Microsoft Office. Keep in mind that this is something that shouldn't turn everyone off.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

Within my organization, reporting and keeping track of user role accessibility is challenging to achieve. THey can only be accomplished through the use of spreadsheets. Being able to integrate spreadsheets in one database for comparisons and running reports is highly valuable. Having Access as a front end for an SQL database proves to be great tool for the organization as well as the work that I"m doing. I now have the ability to link to updated data sources and reports.
