We performed a comparison between Google Cloud SQL and Redis based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Database as a Service solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."My suggestion to anyone thinking about this solution is to jump into it head-first!"
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to use, simple, and user-friendly."
"I found its storage and security to be the most valuable. It was a good experience. It is also very stable and scalable, and its support is perfect."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The implementation part of the product was easy."
"The setup was straightforward. Just a couple of clicks, and we were done."
"It is not the cool features that I find valuable, it is the stability of Google Cloud Platform."
"Its most valuable feature is that it's scalable. I can start off with a base of a lot of data and move as much as I want and it's the same as if asked to do a lot of infrastructure changes."
"The online interface is very fast and easy to use."
"It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology."
"Redis is better tested and is used by large companies. I haven't found a direct alternative to what Redis offers. Plus, there are a lot of support and learning resources available, which help you use Redis efficiently."
"The solution's technical support team is good...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"Redis is a simple, powerful, and fast solution."
"The most valuable features of Redis are its ease of use and speed. It does not have access to the disc and it is fast."
"The in-memory data makes it fast."
"The ability to fetch and save data quickly is valuable."
"I am yet to explore a lot of features that are present in this solution. However, it would be good if more documentation is available for this solution. This would help us in preparing for the certification exam and understand it better. Currently, we don't have much documentation. We do the labs for 20 or 25 minutes, but we can't capture and download anything."
"The customer support should be improved."
"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."
"In the case of Google, they need to work on a more easy interface for users."
"To create a seamless data integration, the title integration of these databases with the data integration platforms is essential. This is what we would like to have in a future release."
"The only thing that could be better is the pricing."
"Google Cloud SQL still needs better connectivity to outside, existing data sources."
"It is hard to do logging with the solution."
"I would prefer it if there was more information available about Redis. That would make it easier for new beginners. Currently, there is a lack of resources."
"It's actually quite expensive."
"If we use a lot of data, it will eventually cost us a lot."
"The only thing is the lack of a GUI application. There was a time when we needed to resolve an issue in production. If we had a GUI, it would have been easier."
"The development of clusters could improve. Additionally, it would be helpful if it was integrated with Amazon AWS or Google Cloud."
"The initial setup took some time as our technical team needed to familiarize themselves with Redis."
"In future releases, I would like Redis to provide its users with an option like schema validation. Currently, the solution lacks to offer such functionality."
"Sometimes, we use Redis as a cluster, and the clusters can sometimes suffer some issues and bring some downtime to your application."
