Although Google Cloud SQL has room for improvement by addressing a minor lack of features, its features and services keep it high among other SQL database products. It is very fast compared to others. Since it is cloud-based, maintenance is also easier. Integration capabilities are also more than expected.Incentivized
It's a great tool when building the software, the ability to add SQL and No-SQL databases. Very convenient to write the queries and generate the filtered data we require. Gives the ability to export, import databases of various formats and generate reports from them. It might not be suitable if you want the data to be seen in a visualized manner Incentivized
Highly scalable without worrying about sudden transaction explosion during peak hours.Highly available with multiple geographical locations and regions for nearly 0 downtime to the users.Extremely reliable and responsive for high latency applications due to superb networking at the core.Incentivized
Table filters are simple and easy to useI love the ability to install plugins: Export tables to Laravel migrations is one of our most used pluginsSuper easy to connect to local Docker containers, Vagrant and remote DBs through SSHIncentivized
Increasing support for more database engines may enable a wider range of application needs to be met.Implementing and updating cutting-edge security features on a constant basis.Streamlining and enhancing the tools for transferring data to Google Cloud SQL from on-premises databases or other cloud providers.
It crashes CONSTANTLY. If you have more than one connection tab open and close one of them, it crashes. If you just have it open in the background, it randomly crashes. If you're using it, it randomly crashes. When you try to send a crash report, the CRASH REPORTER CRASHES.Can be a bit slow.No way that I'm aware of to query multiple databases in the same query.Incentivized
On demand scalability helps us provision extra resources as per our requirement and load on the application. Reduced cost due to fully managed services and no need to manage underlying infrastructure which reduced time of patching and maintaining underlying infrastructure. Easy to configure as per application requirements. Supports monitoring which is not available in custom hosted database instance on own computing infrastructureIncentivized
GCP support in general requires a support agreement. For small organizations like us, this is not affordable or reasonable. It would help if Google had a support mechanism for smaller organizations. It was a steep learning curve for us because this was our first entry into the cloud database world. Better documentation also would have helped.Incentivized
It's open-source and very convenient to work with. I can easily import any database I want using a data dump and runt the queries on them to derive the data insights on the data. I might want to use Excel to visualize that, that might be one of the disadvantages.Incentivized
Google SQL was great as a first SQL provision. It quickly enabled the apps to be built and scaled as needed for a while. It was robust and adaptable as needed and easy to export as needed when ready, depending on growth. Cost-wise, it's a good choice and requires little investment to get going.Incentivized
MySQL Workbench is a wonderful tool, but the routine editing of existing data is note nearly as straightforward as it is in Sequel Pro. The ability to sort a data view with a single click makes Sequel Pro my definite choice. phpMyAdmin is pretty ubiquitous, but the routine editing of existing data is much more cumbersome than it is in Sequel Pro.Incentivized
With managed database system, it has given us near 100% data availabilityIt has also improved web layer experience with faster processing and authentication using database fieldsGoogle Cloud SQL also gels up well with Google Analytics and other analytics systems for us to join up different data points and process them for deeper dives and analysisIncentivized
The user interface is great. Since all of our computers are macOS based, we can all use it and share knowledge with our colleaguesIt enables me to make things in such a faster way that it enables us to spend our time with coding and providing more solutions to our clientsThe workflow is much improved with the import and export feature, so we don't waste time with that kind of work.Incentivized
