Review on MaxDB by Daniel Jenkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for connecting between different SQL Server databases

The concept that allows us to get all our data from one source instead of having multiple sources is really great! I think we are still learning how they work but so far everything has been pretty transparent. They have some tools out there like Data Explorer or Data Extractor in SSMS to pull specific tables directly into Power BI Desktop without any manual process. We had a bit of an issue where when using these features would cause too many rows to be transferred at once causing them to crash sometimes. You need a certain amount of RAM as well. It also doesn't support Redis yet (so maybe soon?) The idea of being able to put our data together from everywhere into one place is just wonderful especially since it's free!
