What do you like best about Google Cloud?

Google Cloud offers a wide range of solutions for technology development and deployment, including Computing, Networking, data Storage and management, AI and machine learning, all in one integrated platform. GCP has user-friendly learning tutorials and reliable community support, which makes it easy to solve whatever challenges might come up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

The user interface can appear complex to newcomers, as it lacks customization options for the left navigation menu. The inability to remove services not used by users can make the interface unnecessarily crowded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Products used within Google Cloud: Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Vertex AI, Google Cloud SQL
What do you like best about Google Cloud?

A robust suite of AI/ML services (Vertex AI, Cloud TPU). It was really helpful with pre-trained models for sentiment analysis, risk assessment and customer segmentation. The team had an easy process to train and deploy custom models for portfolio optimization and fraud detection.

Regarding infrastructure, Kubernetes Engine and Cloud SQL reduced the operational overhead and low latency for our users worldwide.

The security team had a good experience with the process of certifications SOC 2 and GDPR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

It took months to find the balance for optimizing cloud costs (don't start a project without it!).

Some GC services could have a long learning curve for developers and engineers who usually work with other cloud systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud SQL?

What I like about Google Cloud SQL is it provides a cloud-based DBMS, doesn't require complicated setup, and allows me to connect and query data from various databases, especially Microsoft SQL Server. Also, Cloud SQL allows my team to use SQL Server Management Studio to access and manage our analytical projects that combine on-premise databases with data on Google Cloud.

The service integrates with Google Cloud storage, and the user interface is well-designed and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud SQL?

The service cost management requires users to be familiar with Google Cloud platform pricing models when integrating other services, like storage or AI tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud SQL?

It is fully managed services which means we have to focus on building application without bothering about the infrastructure. Databases are accessible even when infrastructure fails due to its high availability feature. It also provides us scalability meaning by increasing CPU, memory database resources can be scaled up. Conviniently integrates with other google cloud services. Security features like data encryption protects database from unwanted access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud SQL?

Few things which I did not like -

1. It does not allow you to migrate to other cloud. It are bound with GCP ecosystem.

2. It gives you fw database options. Does not support database engine like Oracle and NoSQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
