Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"As a cloud product, we're always on the latest version of the solution, it self-updates, and it's easier to maintain so you don't really have to worry about the operation side of it."

"The most valuable features are that it's easy to use, simple, and user-friendly."

"The product is scalable."

"The speed is very good, it's useful in terms of the simplicity of doing backups, you can have redundant databases for reports or posts, it's SQL which is easy to learn if you know something about databases, I like the cloud aspect, the pricing of the solution seems reasonable, and the solution is stable."

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

"They have good multi-region failure support, and we can just set up there and read replicas directly and we can fall back."

"What I like the most about Google Cloud SQL is that it handles the management, which allows us to concentrate on our applications."

"It is not the cool features that I find valuable, it is the stability of Google Cloud Platform."

More Google Cloud SQL pros

"Migration from Oracle to Tibero is very easy and it took us about ten minutes."

"It is incredibly fast, much faster than Oracle in terms of compiling and processing speeds, very reliable and secure, never crashes or gets overloaded, the true data never gets falsified or corrupted, it is very easy to port your projects over, and it is considerably cheaper than any other software on the market."

"The most valuable feature is compatibility with the Oracle database."

"Tibero uses Hyper-Threading architecture, which is incredibly fast."

"Tibero is very easy to setup and maintain."

Cons

"Google Cloud SQL needs to improve its support for high-end I/O operations."

"Google's technical support is good, but they tend to never reopen a case and to send us snippets from the publicly available documentation. It's not as helpful as you would expect, not just for Google Cloud SQL but for all of Google Cloud products."

"The only thing that could be better is the pricing."

"The performance compared to AWS is not as fast, and the technical support could be better as they don't have a dedicated team, but mostly AI handles the support now."

"The purging of the data could be better."

"I would like to see better availability of the product in different regions. It should also improve the security with encryption."

"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."

"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."

"Manual installation is a bit tricky, but one can get used to it."

"The knowledge base is quite small and should be expanded."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

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

"The solution is affordable."
