My personal review.

What are the best aspects of this product?

The thing that I liked most with Access is making queries from a multiple tables. It'll give you access in making a customized report from info across tables. You can utilize its pre-installed wizard to offer a step-by-step guide or make it on your own. Basically, you're offered full control in grouping tables via a relationship. I love making my own reports and forms.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

One thing about Access is that it's not completely intuitive. It can overwhelm anyone who's not familiar or has zero background on Microsoft Access. When opening the program, you'll be handed varying options to choose from. Once you've made a decision, there won't be much info leading to where you'll be headed or how to take in files from another source. Although they have wizards that can be utilized (as of the moment, their functionality is severely restricted).

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

The biggest aspect it did for us was having the ability to make a huge database for department purposes. We can put in data that could be required for use by anyone. From there we can make customized queries in returning certain data we need. This saved us a lot of time in making customized reports and queries from third party software. Microsoft Access enhances to further work collaboratively and utilize aspects of data required in one convenient location.
