## Reviews

### "User-Friendly Database Management with Scalability Limitations" — 4.0/5

> **Parsa** | *August 28, 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Its user-friendly interface and integration with other Microsoft Office products make database management and reporting accessible for non-technical users.

> 
> I would rate Microsoft Access as a robust and versatile database management tool, suitable for small to medium-sized projects.

### "Great tool for smaller databases." — 4.0/5

> **Chuck** | *August 21, 2025* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Access is simple to use and made setting up relatively small databases quick and easy. Having integrated forms also made it easy to move the database around as needed.
> 
> **Cons**: Its performance starts lagging when your database starts getting somewhat large. I also sometimes had struggles getting other tools to connect to it.
> 
> Overall it is a great tool if you are starting with a small dataset.  Also, because of the integrated forms, it is easy to provide this in a central location to do structured data collection from multiple people.
