User Testimonials
	Google Cloud SQL	Huawei Cloud Relational Database Services (RDS)
Likelihood to Recommend	Does what it promises well, for instance, as a sidecar for the main enterprise data warehouse. However, I would not recommend using it as the main data warehouse, particularly due to the heavy business logic, as other dedicated tools are more suitable for ensuring scalable operations in terms of change management and multi-developer adjustments. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	Very easy to use and migrate existing database systems to Google Cloud SQL system Easy to query with real-time query assessment as well as processing metrics to help optimize the queries No need to learn any other querying language (like in Hadoop ecosystem), as SQL works pretty fine Easy-to-use GCP portal to type in queries and see the results on the screen (no need to go on command line ) Easy to set up Incentivized Ashok Kalra Head - Analytics and Database Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	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. SS Shireen Shahab Web Developer Read full review	No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	It fits the current needs and bandwith of out lean organization. Incentivized ISIDRO MORAN Director, Engineering Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	As with other cloud tools, users must learn a new terminology to navigate the various tools and configurations, and understand Google Cloud's configuration structure to perform even the most basic operations. So the learning curve is quite steep, but after a few months, it gets easier to maintain. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	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 Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	The first one is it's performance is very good and it comes up with different solution. Security can be improved for external resources or the schemas which are selected in it. It can be more fragile so one can use it in the business purposes and this will make it a great product.
