Overall Satisfaction with Google Cloud SQL

We use Google Cloud SQL as our primary database and use it to run SQL queries on our data...it is fairly easy to use if you have a basic understanding of SQL. It has helped us automate a lot of our reporting processes and has helped us optimize our team effectively.

Pros

  • Automation of tasks
  • Ease of setup
  • Easy to import and export data

Cons

  • it is expensive
  • more information on how to use the product
  • better integration with our tools
  • Saved us multiple hours per work on automation of tasks
  • Manage our databases to give us more time back
  • Monitoring service saved us time by helping us resolve issues with our queries
I give it this rating because like many Google products, it is among the best of its peers. The platform itself is relatively easy to navigate if you have a technical background.
Google Cloud SQL could have more integrations available which would make it a better product.
