"Google cloud SQL"
What do you like best about Google Cloud SQL?

It's advanced and faster compared to the rest as I was was earlier using Server management studio and it gets stuck sometimes while running the query Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud SQL?

1. Limited Database Engines – Only supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server. If we need Oracle, MongoDB, or others it won't work

2. Storage & Connection Limits – Each instance has limits on connections, storage size, and IOPS (depends on tier). Not ideal for very high-scale workloads compared to Cloud Spanner or BigQuery.

3. Scaling Constraints – Vertical scaling (increasing CPU/RAM) requires downtime. Horizontal scaling is limited (read replicas available, but no built-in sharding). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to Use Simple yet little bit expensive"
What do you like best about Google Cloud SQL?

See, when I first wanted to find an online platform to host db, i went to AWS. It was too expensive then. I came to , GCP, and the ui was 10 times simpler, and it was easy to understand pricing structure within 10 minutes. My application DB was live on , GCP, yet it is on a more expensive side Azure I think gives the best value for money, but ui is not great there. In Cloud ,SQL the security features were too good the environment and discussions were progressive all along and this has been the most fun part as I could quickly create coy of db fush it and connect to new deployments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud SQL?

Only the ppricing is not to my liking and sometimes to turnoff and restart certain service it takes a lot of time but stik it is great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
