I work with implementations where Azure SQL DWH is used and the scalability it provides is best in the market
Most Helpful Critical Review
Verified User in Management Consulting
Dislike is not specific it is a bit costly and SQL data pool connectivity needs to be improved. It hangs when a large amount of data comes from more than 100K rows also query takes time to run sometimes it gives a timeout error.
