Google Cloud Reviews

For personal storage, Google Workspace, Google portal, Google video, Google file, and Google Cloud Shell for programming language.

The services that are the most helpful include Google Portal, Google Video, Google File, and Google Cloud Shell.

The performance after long-term use shows the storage is too full, and I cannot add more storage without paying for it. I want to migrate to another solution if I need to pay for additional storage. It would also be enjoyable if there is no HBase in Google Workspace.

I have been using Google Cloud for some time and am still using it.

The problem with scaling is that if I add space to Google Cloud, I must pay for it, so I want to migrate to another solution.

It's easy to deploy Google Cloud. The deployment is compatible and efficient.

If I add up space in Google Cloud, I must pay for it. The pricing of Google Cloud is considered cheap.

I have used Alibaba Cloud and found it more complex compared to Google Cloud, which is more practical.

I recommend Google Cloud to other people.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

Public Cloud

Google

So far, I like all the features that I use with Google Cloud. I like it very much compared to the previous tool that we had.

The speed, security, and performance of Google Cloud are excellent.

Actually, our company doesn't venture out much to use all of the products and features covered under Google Cloud because we do have our own customizations when it comes to the setups for the company. We are trying to maximize our resources, the cost, and the assets, and we want to control it on our own.

The product's initial setup phase is a little bit difficult, so it is an area where improvements are required.

I have three months of experience with Google Cloud. My role in the company is as a researcher and a developer. I am an end-user of the tool.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

We are working with approximately 300 users of the tool in our company.

The solution's technical support was average. I rate the technical support a six out of ten.

The technical support for Google's platforms are embedded under products, so we are meant to go for self-learning. My company does not have experience with human intervention when it comes to Google. Only self-learning is needed for the products.

Neutral

Right now, we have Google Cloud's Compute Engine and SQL Server, but we have not used the tools yet because we are diverting into self-hosting.

Previously, I worked with Microsoft products for my previous employer. All Microsoft products, including Office, servers, databases, and SQL Server.

As a new product for us, the product's initial setup phase is a little bit difficult.

The product's deployment phase took place over a month. I then deployed the virtual machine, VPC, the storage, and SQL Server. We ran it for a couple of days, and then we saw the billing and the cost. The cost is based on the products you used, CPUs, Storage, Memory, API access and bandwidth. We saw that the tool was great but very costly for us, and so we did not continue.

If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as an eight.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Private Cloud

Google

I primarily use Google Cloud for analytics purposes. The data originates from our on-premise cloud system but is transferred to Google Cloud for analysis.

Regarding Google Cloud's data analytics features, I find the presentation of information and the ability to move and transform data to be the most valuable. As for machine learning capabilities, they are helpful, especially in detecting anomalies or outliers in our data. For instance, Google Cloud can identify unusual network behavior and provide recommendations on how to address or leverage these findings effectively.

I think one area that could be improved in Google Cloud is the customer support. Sometimes the integration process can be a bit complex due to format errors. Also having clearer documentation or a larger support team could really help users like me understand and resolve issues more effectively.

I have been using Google Cloud for the past four years. 

In terms of stability, I'd give Google Cloud a nine out of ten as it's very stable.

Google Cloud is scalable, which serves our organization's scaling needs well. We have multiple users directly interacting with the technology, and while we don't have immediate plans to increase usage, we would consider extending it in the future. 

As for scalability, I'd rate it a ten out of ten as it's more than enough for our needs.

Integrating Google Cloud with our existing systems has been. Deployment is super fast, and takes a couple of minutes.

Google Cloud has helped us save time, approximately around thirty to forty percent.

Google Cloud is on the expensive side for us. I don't have exact figures on the cost per year or month.

I haven't used Google Cloud for AI projects personally. But I have utilized Google AI for optimizing Google Ads campaigns. It's an automated machine learning model that uses data from websites to understand customer behavior and improve marketing strategies for better results like increasing clicks or purchases. 

My advice for those considering Google Cloud is to have a technical advisor due to its complexity. It's data-driven, stable, and scalable, which are strong advantages.

Overall, I would give it a rating of around an eight out of ten. 

Public Cloud

We use the solution for our SAP infrastructure.

The product’s infrastructure is up to the mark. The infrastructure is easy to manage. It is better than Azure and AWS. It is easy to implement the product.

DevOps must be improved. DevOps in AWS is quite easy to establish and can be easily used by startups and big companies. It is not so with Google Cloud. The product must provide AI features.

I have been using the solution for more than one and a half years.

The tool is quite stable.

The tool is scalable. We support our customers. We have around 2000 to 3000 customers.

The support is good. The third-party support could be improved.

Positive

The installation is easy. Most of my customers have Windows. VDI lags in Google Cloud. The deployment takes one month. We have more than 30 people in our technical team. We have eight to ten people to maintain the solution. Other people are involved in support or are senior employees like cloud architects. It is easy to maintain the tool.

The solution is cheaper than AWS. The licenses are annual. The cost is inclusive of support.

We are partners. People must choose Google Cloud. It is a great product. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

I use Google Cloud for services like corporate email, data collection, Google Meet, session recording, presentation, and storing important documents in the cloud.

You can use Google Cloud tools easily, even if you know how Word, Excel, or PowerPoint works. Additionally, Google Meet is simple to use regarding configuration and recording sessions.

They could integrate artificial intelligence into the applications.

We have been using Google Cloud since 2015.

I rate the product's stability a ten out of ten.

I rate the product’s scalability an eight out of ten.

The initial setup process is simple. It takes just five minutes to complete and doesn’t require a much bigger team. You should know the access ID and password to log in.

Anybody can deploy the product.

They provide user-based licensing plans. Its plan could be less expensive.

I rate Google Cloud a nine out of ten. They should work on the cost. It is not feasible for many organizations to pay 1,500 per user.

The solution's most valuable feature is BigQuery. We can train models for forecasting and predictions by just writing SQL queries with it. Also, GKE features work best, along with integrating Istio for monitoring purposes.

The solution's integration with Oracle could be better. We encounter issues while migrating the database from Oracle to another SQL server.

We have been using the solution for two and a half years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable and has automatic features for it. I rate its scalability a nine or ten.

The solution's technical support is good. We also contact other vendors trained in Google Cloud support in case of queries.

Positive

I rate the solution's initial setup process a seven out of ten. We need to understand its complete landscape for more straightforward implementation. Although, its deployment is faster and takes over a month to complete.

The solution has OpEx and CapEx, pricing models. Thus, the cost depends on specific use cases.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use Google Cloud to deploy our servers on containerized token servers and store user databases, which mostly consist of 5S data. It is very useful for authentication, as most of our back-end operations are powered by Google.

The most valuable feature is the ease of use. Google Cloud has mastered the user interface and user experience so much that it is very convenient. The 5S is the best tool for startups to set up things quickly and powerfully. Apart from that, Google Cloud has a lot of features. We can deploy with really powerful servers, auto-scaling, and all. Yeah. That's it. I tried AWS, but it has too many features. So Google Cloud is simple to use to start with.

When the companies grow at a larger scale, I often see them shifting to a different cloud services provider, like Oracle or AWS, because they may have critical features or preferences over Google Cloud. While Google Cloud is expanding, there is still room for improvement in flexibility.

I have been using Google Cloud for more than a year now.

I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.

It is very scalable. For starters, it is very scalable, but when we use it for a month, we may have to look for a different setup on Google Cloud. But, yes, it is very scalable.

I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We are happy with the scalability.

The customer service is pretty supportive. We are also in the Google Startup Program and they have been very helpful. The support is amazing.

Positive

The initial setup is super easy. I would rate it a ten out of ten.

Google Cloud has amazing documentation. It took a few hours to deploy the solution.

Some options might be cheaper for much larger scales, but at the scale, we are operating on, Google has very convenient pricing. I'd rate it a three out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.

I highly recommend using this solution. It's very easy to set up and get started with and is a perfect tool for startups. They have amazing support with their programs as well.

Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten.

We are migrating some of our application workloads from an on-premise system to Google Cloud using Kubernetes.

Google Cloud's most valuable attribute is its capability for on-demand auto-scaling, and it also simplifies numerous intricate tasks for its users.

The price of the solution could be more transparent.

I have used Google Cloud within the last 12 months.

I rate the stability of Google Cloud a nine out of ten.

I rate the scalability of Google Cloud a seven out of ten.

I have not used the support from Google Cloud.

The initial setup of Google Cloud is straightforward. However, the migration of workload is complex.

We approached Google Cloud with certain cost assumptions but were surprised to find that our actual expenses were higher than expected. Initially, we had anticipated spending a set amount on the solution, but in reality, we ended up spending more than that. It would be helpful to have greater transparency and educational documentation on the cost-related aspects of Google Cloud.

My advice to others wanting to use this solution should have a migration strategy and there are other solutions on the market with similar features. User education is critical to be successful with the solution.

One of the challenges when it comes to Google Cloud is how to familiarize traditional Java developers, working database administrators, or data engineers with its offerings. The question is how to teach them to use it effectively and ensure that it functions properly. If the education is successful, Google Cloud can be a fantastic solution to work with.

I rate Google Cloud a nine out of ten.
