The thing which I like most is that it is a managed service, which is really helpful to reduce the management overhead. I have also used RDS provided by AWS, but I love to use Google Cloud Spanner most because of ease of integration, ease of use, strong global transactions, and horizontal scalability with strong consistency.

It is vendor lock-in and pricing is high in some cases. Sometimes I also find that it is not the best fit for all applications and might not benefit from its specific features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
