Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It's a desktop database app that evolved over decades conservatively without jamming in thoughtless features. You can prototype a fair amount but if you limit yourself to their tools, you'll have the fastest rapid solution creation of anything else out there. This is probably good for a version 1 of many database related apps - even if you have grand plans, you never really know the whole picture until using it and this is probably the best place to begin. Make your custom app from scratch someday but if you want rapid changes and results this is the thing to use. Change around your table structure without hardly any labor or mistakes; unlike SQL.
  • It's an extremely powerful platform, and it walks the line perfectly between a simple tool that's easy to start with, and a full-fledged development environment where the sky is the limit.

Cons

  • It can take many years before they make a useful change you wish they would implement. There are plug-ins and the ability to make standalone apps but the plug-in system is a last resort in my opinion. MOST your needs are built-in if you start to need extensions then you should move to making an app... but then when you realize the TIME it'll take you to recreate it... you end up staying. They push for subscriptions like everybody; but they will sell you an expensive perpetual license still; which I prefer and worry someday they may stop... migrating between large leaps in versions is always painless (like MS products.)
  • The only limitation I've found so far is that an application will scale to about 1,000 concurrent users, but that hasn't presented any kind of problem for me.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I don't have a lot to say that is good about this product but might be because I didn't understand it.
  • - Microsoft access can be highly customizable according to the user's preference and needs. - It is a widely used software, so the community support is tremendous. - For using Microsoft Access, there is no need to learn a new language, just knowing SQL queries does the job.
  • Not many pros for using this. Access is used only when we have no option such as restriction on other apps.
  • Helps you to maintain and manage your database easily. Easy to use and has a great interface for the users. Really simple to configure.
  • This software is amazing and allows you to organize your databases within one application! I highly recommend this software.

Cons

  • I went through a full training for this program and by the end of the last day, I still didn't understand it.
  • - It is not a suitable database option for handling a large database or multiple users. - There is a lot of room for improvement in the user interface of the software.
  • Buggy, lags when importing even simple DBs. Excel, SQL and even python's microsheet are better than Access.
  • No cons, it's a simple and plain database application.
  • It is a part of Microsoft 365 and sadly need to buy the whole system to get access to access.
