My overall experience working with MS Access has been rather pleasant. We mostly use it to have ease of use of reports with regards to our assets and equipment
Pros
As a user in my opinion and commonly cited by alot of users , I like Microsoft Access for its user-friendly interface, ease of creating databases, and its ability to manage and analyze data without requiring advanced programming skills.

For personal use it is effective but trying to use it by sharing access to network resources presents a lot of problems (from security to performance, to the number of simultaneous accesses etc. etc.)
Pros
It is easy to have the program installed on your PC and create tables in which to insert data and forms with which to populate them
Cons
It's not ideal for a centralized solution to share tables for colleagues. It was born as a single-user application to be installed on your PC and any workaround to transform it into a centralized database is a forcing that inevitably leads to problems or compromises, especially in terms of security

Since 2001. I studied it in detail. I earned a living for more than 10 years programming databases for small businesses. I think it is still good if used as a personal database only.
Pros
Very cheap to procure, program and deploy. Very good if used by a team of less than 4 people.
Cons
Not suitable to be deployed on the internet. All 3 of us use the Microsoft Access database from the same computer.
