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.

Cons

"The solution should improve its security and accountability."

"It would be helpful to offer more packages to increase the storage."
"I'm not really comfortable with the user interface because I don't use it very often."

"The solution should have two factor authentication."
"I would like the storage to be less expensive."
"Having the ability to upload and download data using third-party apps such as Mega which can sync to the desktop would be excellent."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is very cheap."
"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."
"Better pricing would be helpful."
"The solution is free."
"There is a license needed to use Google Cloud Storage at our university."
"The solution is free unless you want to increase the GB data allowance. There is a cost if you want to increase the size of storage space which is expensive."
"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."
"We do not have to pay for a license for Google Cloud Storage but there is a subscription that needs to be paid."
"The price of the solution is inexpensive."
"Wasabi is a cost-effective solution for data storage, priced at just under six dollars per terabyte."
"Wasabi has better pricing than Nutanix."
"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 tool’s price is very reasonable."
