Price-wise, I heard that Google Cloud Spanner is on the higher side. I am not sure if this is a rumor or if it's fake news, but I believe that having BigQuery and GCP together could be a little costly compared to other tools like Azure. In the product, if I look at the advantages, I can see that the tool has speech recognition, translation, machine learning, and everything else is accessible in GCP. I am using Google Cloud, and I know which features are already there in the tool. When you are using all the tools, you need to pay for them.
The deployment phase did not cost my company anything, but the runtime of the solution is an expensive area. Google Cloud Spanner is an expensive solution. The solution does lower our costs related to the database, which alone is expensive since our engineers don't need to invest in doing a lot of troubleshooting or trying to figure out how to connect this solution, making the total cost of ownership to be on the lower side of the spectrum.
