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

What I like about Google Cloud SQL is it provides a cloud-based DBMS, doesn't require complicated setup, and allows me to connect and query data from various databases, especially Microsoft SQL Server. Also, Cloud SQL allows my team to use SQL Server Management Studio to access and manage our analytical projects that combine on-premise databases with data on Google Cloud.

The service integrates with Google Cloud storage, and the user interface is well-designed and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud SQL?

The service cost management requires users to be familiar with Google Cloud platform pricing models when integrating other services, like storage or AI tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Brilliant product by Google"
What do you like best about Google Cloud SQL?

It is fully managed services which means we have to focus on building application without bothering about the infrastructure. Databases are accessible even when infrastructure fails due to its high availability feature. It also provides us scalability meaning by increasing CPU, memory database resources can be scaled up. Conviniently integrates with other google cloud services. Security features like data encryption protects database from unwanted access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud SQL?

Few things which I did not like -

1. It does not allow you to migrate to other cloud. It are bound with GCP ecosystem.

2. It gives you fw database options. Does not support database engine like Oracle and NoSQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
