Overall Satisfaction with Google Cloud SQL

Google Cloud SQL was mainly used to create interesting websites for many customers, who are middle-scale companies and individuals. We also used Cloud SQL products to create and manage virtual machines that can be used for training purposes for interns and newcomers so they can try out our developments.
  • Providing Free trial of 300 dollars.
  • Better monitoring capabilities and troubleshooting features.
  • Easier to set up an instance.
  • Lag of releasing the new open-source database systems for Google Cloud SQL.
  • Not much efficient and advanced billing cycle system.
  • Not having much rich database visualization / dashboards.
  • Development skills of the team got increased.
  • Time spent on maintenance of the database got reduced.
  • Number of Infrastructure employees per one customer got reduced.
Unlike other products, Google Cloud SQL has very flexible features that allow it to be selected for a free trial account so that the product can be analyzed and tested before purchasing it. Integration capabilities with most of the web services tools are easier regarding Google Cloud SQL with its nature and support.
