Product(s): SQL Server

Overall Comment:"SQL Server 2022 has been rock solid for our enterprise workloads. I use it heavily for ETL, reporting, and cross-database querying. We host a ~1 TB data warehouse on our on-prem SQL Server and have been thrilled by performance and recent improvements to make it easier to integrate with Fabric in the cloud"

Inconsistent feature parity - Some features only work in Enterprise which can be confusing.
