RaidHammouri - PeerSpot reviewer
Monitoring solution enhances cost efficiency with good internal tools
In terms of Google services, providing more hypervisors would be beneficial. Currently, in my region, they don't offer many services as they have just started. They have some local instances, yet improvements are needed in the tools and offers provided to customers. I currently only use, for example, a native hybrid. VMware is not available, and other hypervisors are still not there. They need to wait on that.
Adam Elguennioui - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers flexibility and better accessibility to users
The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution. When working with a cloud tool, it's never 100 percent secure and it is always something to take into account. I would like to be more comfortable working with it and feeling safer. In the future, the tool can be made faster. In the future, I would like to see maybe some AI features in the tool to help automate stuff. You need to be able to create your own models to help create some automated actions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can share documents with the whole class. Sharing information Using Google Drive and Google Cloud is very common."
"Google Cloud is a good alternative solution. I think it's a better fit for Mac operating systems than Windows. If you're utilizing Google Cloud for something like big data, then their big query is decent."
"It is easy to use and has a very familiar interface."
"Google Meet is simple to use regarding configuration and recording sessions."
"This is a solution that's so easy to expand when you need it to. It's the best I've ever seen. It's much better than Azure."
"The solution works well for BigQuery and big data analysis support such as column alerts and tabular databases."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution has improved our web apps so that we can have a canary deployment. GCP also helps us upload new features and changes to our software without impacting a lot of users with the network. The AI features have improved the software as well."
"Cloud has provided less maintenance."
"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c."
"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"The framework supports auto-configuration. A lot of features are already there. It is reliable and user-friendly to develop code, back-end engineering, or locate specific information such as addresses."
"It is pretty easy to use."
"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."
"Backing up and recovery for my domain is very easy and fast. In addition, applying patches and undoing applied patches is effective and easy to do."
"The solution's technical support is good."
 

Cons

"In terms of Google services, providing more hypervisors would be beneficial."
"The product should be more cost-effective."
"Training in new advancements, technologies, or AI would help us understand how to best use the solution."
"There are issues with stability."
"An area of improvement would be in the of managing accounts in terms of what we are using for memory, availability, and monitoring."
"I would like to see an increase in storage with Google Cloud."
"It could have a reporting tool included."
"Sometimes the Google documents are difficult to learn from. Amazon has better support material."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself. For example, how do we add more storage, how do we extend a specific portion? I would like to see videos illustrating some of the technical tasks that we often need to do."
"The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For commercial purposes, users need to pay for the products they use on a workload basis, not a license basis. There are two pricing models: fixed monthly and pay-as-you-go. In the pay-as-you-go model, users pay for the resources they use, while in the fixed monthly model, they have 24/7 access to resources for a set monthly fee."
"We pay for a license."
"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as an eight."
"Its cost depends on specific use cases."
"The price of the solution could be better."
"Google cloud is less expensive than other comparable solutions."
"The service is cheap and I give it a seven out of ten for the cost."
"The licensing cost is based on the capacity we use."
"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
"It is somewhat expensive."
"Oracle is a little more expensive right now, but not much compared to SAP. Oracle's prices are very much dependent on the scale of the project and how many users are there."
