User interface consistency facilitates seamless project planning and design for specialized tasks
While Google has made efforts to address SAP loads, the company lacks a product specialist focus. They cover a broad range of products, which might affect their ability to compete well in certain niches. Google's strength lies in their adapted approach to specific tasks, as seen with SAP loads. Generally, their focus is widespread.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"On the phone, I appreciate how seamless it is."
"It's easy to use."
"Google Cloud Storage is fast, and it's scalable."
"It's user-friendly. We find it to be very easy to use."
"It is seamlessly integrated with your Android. There’s no fuss, no hassle."
"The solution is already stable and I have not encountered problems in this regard."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Storage is the filter option. You can search with some artificial intelligence kinds of features. For example, if I search for a beach, it'll show me all the beach-related pictures, which I took five or ten years before. So this is a cool feature that I've seen. They give as many features as they can to make it better, so I'm happy with this solution."
"The initial setup process is straightforward."
"Overall, I would rate Wasabi a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Wasabi is its cost."
"The tool is very user-friendly."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Wasabi is the backups."
"Basically, I set Wasabi up and forget it. I'll monitor it every once in a while just to make sure that it's working correctly."
"The cost is low, it is foolproof, and it has redundancy."
"Wasabi is an easy-to-use solution."
 

Cons

"This solution could be improved by increasing integration with other tools, like Microsoft."
"The solution only allows so much space for free."
"I would also like to be able to use my own tools and packages within this solution and also have a tool to visualize the data with graphics."
"A lower cost, lower-end solution for a shared file system is missing."
"The solution could always be more user-friendly."
"It was a little more complicated when compared to Apple."
"When compared to one of its competitors, Google Cloud Storage does not have or offer a lot of services to its users. So, this is one of the downsides of the solution."
"I would like more storage available."
"The solution must allow the extension of the retention period."
"The scalability could be improved."
"Having the ability to upload and download data using third-party apps such as Mega which can sync to the desktop would be excellent."
"The solution’s user reporting could be improved."
"Wasabi could be cheaper, however, it is already really cheap, so I cannot say if there is anything specific that would be an improvement."
"I don't have enough experience to understand the nuances of where they might improve."
"The scalability could improve."
"Setting up users on the appliance should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have recently changed their pricing structures, it used to be free but now it is a paid service. However, I am on a monthly subscription and the price is reasonable."
"If you're ready to pay, they're ready to give you as much storage as you want. Considering the features that Google Cloud Storage provides, the pricing is reasonable. So far, I'm still using the free service from them because I'm able to meet my requirements with the free subscription. Maybe, in the future, if a storage requirement comes, I'll pay for it or go for the license."
"I pay a yearly subscription fee."
"Approximately 800 to 1,000 USD is paid towards the licensing costs of the solution. The solution is neither expensive nor cheap, meaning it is moderately priced. There are no extra costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution."
"The solution comes with a cost once a person has exceeded a certain limit."
"I pay for a monthly subscription."
"The product is subscription-based. When you pay, you will get more storage."
"The price could be cheaper."
"Wasabi is a cost-effective solution for data storage, priced at just under six dollars per terabyte."
"I can only tell you that Wasabi costs about half what Amazon Web Services is charging. Now, the cost per month is a more difficult question. That varies depending on the capacity, the services you're employing, and that type of thing."
"The price is reasonable."
"Wasabi is a cheap solution, and users have to pay for a monthly license."
"The price of the solution is inexpensive."
"Wasabi has better pricing than Nutanix."
"The tool’s price is very reasonable."
