    Spreadsheets like Excel are simple to use for basic data entry and calculations but have disadvantages like repeated data entry, limited data validation and sharing capabilities, and an upper limit on rows. Databases like MS SQL Server allow for stronger data validation, multi-user sharing and security, flexible reporting, and eliminate repeated data entry but require more setup and knowledge of SQL. The best tool depends on the specific data processing needs and tradeoffs between ease of use and functionality.
