In a Windows Server world, MS SQL Server integrates easily on top of Windows Servers and is very easy to use if you have any SQL experience. The power it gives in a data-centric world is what I like most!
It is somewhat cumbersome to get data from a SQL query grid easily into an Excel format.

What I liked the most is that Microsoft SQL server offers a "free specialized edition" which I used to test what they actually offered and how good it was.
Great features, cross-platform, well equiped, a good search/filter system, data secured, and the permissions system seemed pretty secure.
The pricing is somewhat high, and it would run slow sometimes for no reasons, something that reports and analytics wouldn't show.
