My overall experience is very positive, I always use is when possible. Saves em a lot of time and allows me to perform world-class reports.
Pros
I am very impressed about the reliability in handling regular size databases, and the best part is that you can write your own SQL commands!
Cons
The only thing that I don't like is that it is not very powerful and gets slow with some big databases.

I've been a professional Access developer since 1993 and have built a career from creating and maintaining applications built with it. Once you understand its gotchas and limitations, I think it offers one of the best ROIs for custom software development.
Pros
RAD tools for building forms and reports in a fraction of the time of other systems. Many options for migrating back-end database to other databases.
Cons
I wish there were better tools for version control, query optimization, tuning, and integration with web APIs and JSON.

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

Pros
the software has been better for me especially when I can use it in building data analysis features and the security in the software is great.
also, the great thing I love is the fact that there is automation and macros in the system which makes work much easier.
Cons
The thing I do not like is the limited web application development where I can not be able to build or develop apps. also the file size limitation of 2 GB
