Google Cloud vs Microsoft SQL Server Comparison

Moving to Google's ecosystem is Kevin Durant joining the Golden State Warriors. Microsoft's backend package (heh) is and has always been bloated and support is not the most supportive. (Hey, at least it isn't AWS, am I right?) Using Google Cloud Platform is a good bet for the near future.

Like all backend database platforms, it is a commitment to the ecosystem and migration in and out of it will make you question your career choice.

We utilized the Google Cloud Platform primarily for a VM running Win Server 2012. What we liked best with GCP, was that it worked. We tried several other platforms, but were unable to get them to work with our onsite hardware. GCP was the first platform which allowed us to establish a 3-way VPN tunnel to multiple physical locations, with the firewalls we had installed. Combine this with easy data backup tools and various other features, it made for a easy solution for our needs.

The GUI/website control panel area is relatively limited, and to really maximize your use of GCP you need to understand the Console commands and how to use the console to setup your servers and manage your settings. This requires some more advanced knowledge and training beyond a consumer user. Access to any type of support is locked behind significant paywall.

I love that Microsoft Office users offer us the possibility to collaboratively edit Word, PowerPoint and Excel documents, without the need of software and software developers and SQL databases to create applications

Low storage capacity can become a problem. besides, it is a bit expensive. however, it is very easy to use and I love that

first off, the availability of MySQL across multiple platforms is why i love it . Mysql has a great interface and its user friendly. Easy to export the sql dump and import into another mysql installation. Likewise the fact that it is free makes it very popular on many systems

There are some syntax compatibility issues with MariaDB when trying to use their sql dump on either platforms

Google Cloud provides you with everything you could want from a cloud platform and more. their Hosting provides everything from virtual machines to database servers, and provides all of the analytics you could ever want to see how your products are running. This great product is what I would expect from google.

There are almost too many features which can be overwhelming and confusing. I'm sure for some people it is great to have every feature imaginable, but for doing simple things, it can be a distraction.

The easy way to deploy a test vps for testing web apps or rest api android apps....The lamp server can be deploy very faslty and there's no majors services cutoff access

The lack of wizard to deploy a tools ....you have to do some research to find the way that it works.

There is a wide variety of template Which makes my work more better And making my life better

It is server less aNd there is no code at all

Friendly, easy to use, a great guide for new users and this application can be used anywhere at any time. Able store anything and able to share with friends, family or coworkers.

Issues with server but other then that it is pretty sweet

for me I have been start using google cloud for long time already, especially the VM, the way that we use it because its dynamically, no worry about down time, cost is reasonable, no worry about security hacking/attack. best thing i like is dynamic firewall that google provides, that we can change the public ip for specific server, very powerful. can move VM from one region to another region faster.

its very powerful already, i have no comment about this.

The web interface usability, the command line tools and overall user experience across different products from the platform

some prodcuts like firebase are not totally well integrated into the global cloud platform

Access to Google's infrastructure and technologies (Cloud Storage == GFS, DataStore == Megastore)

Some products (Datastore in particular) introduce vendor lock in. More vendor neutral solutions like Cloud SQL are not very competitive in terms of pricing.

Google Cloud Platform is another option as Infrastructure as a Service which has lot of cutting edge options for moving to cloud from own data center ,it supports almost all kinds of OS (Linux,Windows etc) with various options for High Availability (multiple regions. GCP provides lot of other applications for Data Analysis and Artificial Intelligence (AI and ML) .

Few things worth to mentions regarding GCP when we compare it with other Cloud Providers(AWS and Azure) 1. GCP is little bit expensive . 2. GCP still lags some areas in terms of features(Oracle and SQL Server ) which other clouds provides. 3. Management tools are little bit lagging the comfort level that other providers included. 4. Some components has regional behaviour (Load balancers and Interconnects) which as per them will be taken care in future

It is really easy to use, you can deploy a server in a region near you. Free Trial for a year

Server deployment in England wasn't working for me, had to go for Netherlands

It is very intuitive to use and I do appreciate sql integration and kuberneties integration. You can also set up slack, email, or text alerts.

Pricing could always be better and maybe more logging capabilities

You can easily store data on cloud through this software

It is sometimes hard to upload data to the cloud due to server problems

GCP is very easy to use and has a very friendly user interface. GCP is super affordable and very efficient. GCP is highly secure even to your most confidential data.

I have been using GCP for almost two years and I have not found a single problem with it. GCP is Awesome!

Able to access files from anywhere, easy to use, reliable and lots of supporting programs to compliment it.

Cannot think of any. Ive had one short instance that the server went down.

The standard platform of Google Cloud, which is PAAS, has free tier which is perfect for starting your own website. It scales automatically so developers dont have to worry about sudden spike on the website. The flexible runtime has tons of options ranging from linux to microsoft server, the pricing is almost as cheap as AWS. It's good to use when you want more control of the system.

The pricing model could get complicated really fast, the learning curve on the PAAS side is a bit harder when you're new to programming.

Much more intuitive interface than AWS. Primarily using for BigQuery right now. Love that it uses Standard SQL which I'm already familiar with and comes with public data sets

Billing can be confusing between free tier and credits

We have been using GCP for our startup, both AppEngine and Cloud SQL. Our app gets sudden spikes of traffic by its nature, and GCP handles it very smoothly.

More examples and easy to understand documentation is the only thing I like to see.

Best NoSQL supported databased which can be scaled very easy Good SQL supported databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL databased which can be scaled and highly secure Great support for IoT

It would be good Google Cloud Platform also comes with AWS IAM kind of role management. Some times feels like it is more complex than AWS

There is a vast range of different services offered covering everything from mapping to server hosting to anything else

The prices are, potentially reasonably, quite high which is a big barrier.

when the user know that its a server less computing system they get a sense of security towards their privacy

it does not offer cheap data storage and in order to login you will have to give in your bank details

Cheaper than AWS With firebase, it is one of the easiest solution 300$ free credit for first use there is everything you need from serverless to virtual machine

Expensive network Outside of firebase is not easy to use

It is hard to pin-point one thing as most liked because the level of perfection of this software is in a class of its own - everything part works perfectly as designed. I like them ALL.

Outgoing email is disabled on VMs setup as email server. One has to use google approved third party.

This Microsoft SQL Server has many features and user friendly RDBMS in Tech world. SQL Server is very secure in both Cloud and On-Permissive. i like very much. i expect more modification this server.

SQL Server need more secure options in Cloud Environment. because there are some security loophole in this server.

Easy to install and easy to migrate data from other platform

Sometime data types are confusing, managing cloud instance is complex compared to on-prem

Easy to use, well known. The always on feature was a great addition to the product.

The cloud version get pricy. I do not like how Microsoft has changed the pricing model.

Integration with other data systems and cloud storage

Lack of advanced mathematical functional, although it is improving

Relationship database is structured database management that create with data integrity and reliability in mind.

Slow performance with big data load requirements. Also physically need to build primary keys for each tables instance.

1. It is very User friendly and easy to use. 2. User Interface is great. 3. Easily accicible and maintenance is easy.

1. Pricing model. 2. GUI could have provided more features. 3. Integration with other products. 4. Cloud availability.

this software is very useful to use it with big company

every person or company can be use this with daily work to make share in the form of cloud

SQL is very user friendly, easy to use and install. The interface is intuitive. Lots of great windows and analytic function with T-SQL. It is very versatile. I like the fact that it has community version that includes all useful features.

License is very expensive. Not enough for big data purposes. I find it slow when connecting to the cloud.

* Awesome interface for a back end developer. * Easy to ACID property of data. * Very easy to store data and maintain the whole application data. * Easy access to data by using sql query. * Easy manipulation and easy to maintain all the normalization of data base.

* Give direct access to the cloud using sql server only. * Sometime its difficult to maintain bulk amount of data.
