I like how seamless and scalable it is. It’s really easy to set up, manage, and scale databases without needing to worry about the underlying infrastructure. The performance is solid, and the way it integrates with other Google Cloud services makes things like backups, security, and monitoring easy to do. Plus, you get high availability with minimal effort, and it’s super flexible when it comes to scaling up or down based on your needs. The security features, like encryption and automated backups, give me peace of mind without needing a lot of manual configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A thing I dislike about Google SQL Server on Google Cloud is the cost. It can get quitepricey, especially as a database grows or if you need high availability and failover setups. Also, while it’s easy to manage for the most part, some advanced configurations can still feel a bit restrictive compared to running SQL Server on-prem or on other cloud platforms. The documentation, while good, sometimes lacks depth espeacily for more complex use cases, and troubleshooting issues can require digging into multiple tools or services, which isn’t always straightforward and adds multiple steps before resolving your task/issue.

Google Cloud has a reliable infrastructure and provides an easy-to-manage service to deploy our existing SQL Server workloads on Google Cloud. It allows the use of database management tools that we already use, like SQL Server Management Studio. The service provides a collaborative and developer-friendly environment with integration capabilities between our existing SQL Server database system and various Google Cloud query services and data tools.

The cloud offering by Google that stands out is the perfect combination of performance and scalability.

I have been using GCP's SQL Server from a while, and i love it as its very easy to setup and access in the backend project. We can also run queries directly from the dashboard. Customer support is great they also helpm you setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing which can be imporoived is response time of queries, as it is slow even when i'm using nearest server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
