Migration to cloud eases management but needs better support for high I/O operations

Google Cloud SQL needs to improve its support for high-end I/O operations. On-prem systems with high I/O capabilities perform better, as Google Cloud SQL takes more time to handle the same tasks. There is also difficulty in changing the time zone after the database is set up. Moreover, some features available in MSSQL on-prem are missing on Google Cloud SQL, affecting migration potential.

Excellent reporting server that is compatible with MySQL

We ran into some quirks that Infobright had. We interacted with Infobright's support and were able to resolve them. There still are issues with data replication - Infobright is currently for one server (unless you buy the Infobright appliance). This would mean that redundancy is something you need to implement yourself.

"The deployment model allows for significant control and flexibility."

"From a database management perspective, it provides services without the need for me to worry about backups, scaling, or other operational issues."

"It directly provides robust data safety. It also offers various other storage options, such as Google Cloud Storage. These services ensure data security and redundancy. Furthermore, it includes different storage classes, allowing flexible data management tailored to specific needs."

"Google Cloud SQL is easy to start with and allows me to scale as needed, which is advantageous from a developer perspective."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"The implementation part of the product was easy."

"It's SQL. SQL is so easy if you know something about databases. It's easy to learn."

More Google Cloud SQL pros

"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"

Cons

"Google Cloud SQL needs to improve its support for high-end I/O operations. On-prem systems with high I/O capabilities perform better, as Google Cloud SQL takes more time to handle the same tasks."

"The product's user interface could be more user-friendly to improve the overall user experience."

"Sometimes the sharing with third parties or configuring that in Google Cloud SQL is not the most intuitive."

"I would like to see better integration with all the different tools on the platform."

"For data analysis, the AI area of the product has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"The most vulnerable problem with Google SQL is that while you can customize your access control list, it provides you with a public IP address."

"Google Cloud SQL still needs better connectivity to outside, existing data sources."

"I would appreciate more flexibility with specific extensions applicable to engines like PostgreSQL."

More Google Cloud SQL cons

"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not expensive, especially considering the significant reduction in database management time."

"The solution is affordable."

"You need to pay extra costs for backup and replication."

"It's really cheap. It wouldn't be more than, I believe it's around 50 euro per month for running a cloud SQL."

"The pricing is very much an important factor as to why we use this solution."

"While the platform’s pricing may be higher, it aligns with industry standards, considering the quality of service and features provided."

"From a financial perspective, Google Cloud SQL is on the cheaper side."
