Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"This is a stable solution and offers good performance."

"The solution is easy to use. I am impressed with the tool's features and functionality."

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

"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."

"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."

"Google Cloud SQL is very easy to use and easy to set up; it brings the benefits of being simple to perform queries, store data that I needed to store, and extract data when I needed to extract it quite quickly, without having to set up a full database and queries around it."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

More Google Cloud SQL pros

"The product is not complex; I do not have to create stored procedures, functions, or views."

"The most valuable feature is asynchronous calls, which are easy to configure."

"The solution has really cool features to use. Its management console is excellent. You can utilize plugins to view the performance of the whole service on one network."

"The product has been stable and I have never faced any kind of problems with it."

"The stability of this solution was very good."

Cons

"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."

"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."

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

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

"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."

"When discussing media files, such as images and audio files, stored in Google Cloud, concerns about handling large amounts of data arise."

"I would appreciate more flexibility with specific extensions applicable to engines like PostgreSQL. This would enhance the capabilities of Google Cloud SQL."

More Google Cloud SQL cons

"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."

"Lacks sufficient inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases."

"The availability could be better."

"RabbitMQ is clearly better supported on Linux than it is on Windows. There are idiosyncrasies in the Windows version that are not there on Linux."

"Maintenance is time-consuming."

"The fact that a single queue can't be distributed across multiple instances/nodes is a major disadvantage."

"Scalability issues are present."

"It doesn't have any GUI-based monitoring tools."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is affordable."

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

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

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

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

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

"It is an open-source platform. Although, we have to pay for additional features."

"Tanzu Greenplum's pricing is really competitive and gives excellent value for money."

"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."

"The solution's pricing is cost-effective as it does not involve significant expenses. Licensing is required only for the server, while clients do not need any licensing. Therefore, it proves to be a cost-efficient option."
