Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy Reviews

Our financial system is on Oracle-based, SaaS, hosted on the Oracle cloud. From different XML sources, we had to bring in high volumes of transactions into the financial system.

Before we put all of the data into the product and financial system, we need the data to go through some data messaging, and create some rules and derive some values. There are five or six million records every day.

Google has some very good tools on its platform. They have an App Engine and cluster-based programming so that you are able to achieve high performance. 

Because this is a multiple source system, we need a centralized place where all of the data rules are maintained and where all of the data transformations are performed.

Being from an Oracle background, Oracle doesn't have the tools that Google has to transform the high volume data.

It can perform that validation for the high volume transactions in less time, it can be transformed in minutes.

I like this solution. It has a lot of abilities such as data processing and cluster data creation.

The way they use the sources efficiently and the performance are good. The cost is also less, depending on the way that you code.

There is a lot of flexibility and a lot of control if you use this efficiently.

I would like to see the drag and drop features improved. They have a lot of hand-coded coding. Now they are doing less coding and more drag and drop and configuration. 

From a developer's perspective, it would make it simpler and also the less manual coding will lead to fewer defects. Less coding ability but most coding should be automated using a drag and drop functionality.

The setup could be more user-friendly.

In the next release, I would like to see improved drag and drop features, less coding abilities, or zero coding abilities. This would mean that you can do it by using your configurations, or even when you drag and drop it can be an orchestration so that anyone can do it. It would not be just some hand-coded kind of development that will be used by developers in the future.

We are typically a solution provider and we implemented this solution twelve months ago.

It's a stable product.

The scalability is really good.

There are not many end-users who come in and log in every day, because all of these transformations are completed automatically. From the administration standpoint, there are three or four people taking care of the databases and the application layer. The product is all automated and it's a matter of a back and forth thing.

I have not contacted Google support.

We were using Oracle. Previously, we were not using any products. Other products such as JCS and ICS are not this kind of solution. They are that capable. Oracle may have some other products, but I am not aware of it.

The initial setup was ok, although it can be made to be more user-friendly.

The length of deployment depends on the client's requirements. This particular client has very stringent requirements and it had to go through multiple QA processes. It did take some time but that had to do with the change in management.

You need three or four people with varying skillsets if you are implementing this. We had approximately five for this.

I think that the cost is metered based on the data, but I don't have the details.

This is an awesome product.

This solution is pretty automated. When you come from an administrative standpoint, they come and just do some maintenance now and then. They're very few.

My advice for anybody who is implementing this solution is that they have to be very careful. Though this has all of the capabilities, be very careful. Before they engage in the design, you have to understand the volume of transactions you are going to have. What are the turnaround times that you need and the performance considerations? Depending on that, you have to define the architecture of the solution. There are various factors.

There is a thought process before you go into the developing mode.

You have to go through many different people and understand what the restrictions of the various databases that Google has provided are. You have a lot of tools to select before you start developing. There are many tools on this platform and you have to pick the right ones for the right solution. Cost and performance on this type of solution dictate that.

A thorough analysis should be done before you get into this because it's not easy.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

The solution can be used to share pictures, videos, and documents. We can store other things in MP3 and MP4 formats.

I can use the spreadsheets and save them on the drive. I can share the link with others and update them as needed.

The product is easily available. The solution can be easily integrated with other platforms like Amazon and Microsoft. We can share files and provide interlinks. The solution is easy to install and use. We get almost 15 GB free of cost. It is a good tool. It is safe to use. We can store things securely.

The product must be more user-friendly. It should be provided in other languages, too.

I have been using the solution for almost ten years.

The environment is stable. I can access it quickly. I rate the stability an eight out of ten.

The tool is scalable.

The setup is straightforward. It is easy to do. We just have to create an account.

The product is free.

I have used Microsoft, too. Microsoft Azure is much more difficult to understand. Google is much more user-friendly. With the integration of ChatGPT, Microsoft will give tough competition to Google.

I will recommend the solution to others. It is a great tool. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

We use the product for multiple features including spreadsheets to be shared on the drive, uploading documents, and many other functionalities.

The product’s valuable feature is the ability to add a large number of users.

The platform’s stability and scalability need improvement.

We have been using Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy for two or three years. 

I rate the product’s stability an eight out of ten. Some issues occurred during the implementation which needs improvement. We are working with the consultant to resolve them.

We have 4500 Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy users in our organization. I rate its scalability an eight out of ten. It needs improvement.

Our IT department contacted the technical support team.

We implement the platform with the help of a consultant.

I advise others to use this platform more. It is a good product. I recommend it and rate it an eight out of ten.

Our company uses the solution to protect our online learning application.

The solution effectively protects our learning application that is on Azure. 

The solution has many features for stability and security. 

The cost of licenses could be better. 

I have been using the solution for five years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable.

We utilize an engineering partner at a local Google shop for technical support. 

We implemented the solution with assistance from our engineering partner. 

The licensing costs us $100,000 so pricing could be better. 

I recommend the solution for management and security. 

I use the solution for Google Home. All my switches are connected to Google Home, allowing me to control everything online.

The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease with which one can use it.

The stability regarding voice commands in the solution has certain shortcomings that need improvement.

I have been using the solution for nearly fifteen years. I use the solution's latest version.

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

It is a scalable solution.

In my company, there are three people who use the product.

Currently, my company does not plan to increase the usage of the solution.

The initial setup of the solution is straightforward.

The solution can be deployed in less than 30 minutes.

You just need to connect everything to an application named Google Home via Wi-Fi, with some Wi-Fi routers in place to increase the strength of the signals to all the rooms during the solution's deployment phase.

The solution's installation phase can be carried out with the help of an in-house team or person from our company.

I have not experienced a return or investment from the use of the solution.

The monthly payments made towards the licensing cost of the solution are not expensive.

During the evaluation phase, I came across a product named Amazon Alexa. I chose Google Cloud Platform over Amazon Alexa since I use a lot of Google products, like Google Chromecast and a few others. I use a Google Pixel Phone, so I thought I would stick with products from Google.

I don't require any technical assistance with the maintenance part of the solution since I am able to do it by myself.

Google is very user-friendly and easy to use, but one should make sure that one doesn't keep everything open to track one's activities. I would prefer the tracking part of the solution to be switched off or disabled. I disable all the features in the solution that helps Google to track my activities.

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

There are so many things I like about this solution. It's hard to name just one, but I particularly love its user interface. 

Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy has effectively gathered all the necessary elements there. You can easily navigate between projects and manage logs. The navigation panel allows you to switch between different services or centers, helping you figure out the available logs and configure them. 

UI representation is the aspect I like the most about GCP, even more than Azure or AWS.

There are still many aspects I need to explore. However, there is room for improvement in terms of stability. Sometimes we face uncertainty when our internet connection gets disconnected. It becomes challenging to determine whether it's an issue with our internet or if the GCP SDP has crashed. We encounter such errors, but it's difficult to understand the cause. That's why I it is room for improvement, according to me.

In future releases, I would like to see a free version available for students and for those logging in as intermediates or beginners. 

For one of my projects that required deployment and CI/CD, we utilized GCP. It was mainly a DevOps-oriented task unrelated to my development work.

It was a stable solution. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. 

It was a scalable solution. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. 

The initial setup is okay. 

There are a few things that are available for students' free tier. However, for students, the entire platform should ideally be free. 

And it's not just limited to students; even some professionals who need to learn GCP, AWS, or Azure should have free access as partners. 

However, I do understand that there should be charges when professionals create their accounts under the professional category. But for those logging in as intermediates or beginners, it should be available for free. It would be a valuable addition.

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

The Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy is utilized to store not only backup files but also actively used files. By storing all my files in Google, I am able to access them from any location as long as I have an Internet connection. One aspect that I appreciate about Google is the consistency of its apps for connecting to Google Drive across all platforms. This uniformity ensures that the functionality is the same regardless of the device being used, making it convenient to work with my files from any device.

For online teaching purposes, I employed the Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy which proved to be user-friendly for my students to learn and navigate. It also proved to be an excellent platform for collaborative projects, even when individuals were unable to meet in person.

The most valuable features of the Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy are file storage, a collaborative environment, and easy access.

Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy has certain limitations as a document or file management system, especially for non-workspace accounts. Manual management is required for most actions, and group management can be challenging. The process of managing permissions individually is time-consuming and not very efficient. For education purposes, the collaboration tools for working on files, assignments, and groups need improvement. The existing tools are inadequate and can be difficult to work with. Additionally, the grading books for teachers are not very useful and require improvement.

I have been using the Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy for more than 10 years.

The stability of the Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy is excellent. In my 10 years of using the solution, I have only had it go down twice.

Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy is scalable. My university used it for 50,000 people using it.

We have 110 people using the solution in my organization.

I have used support once. The free version of the Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy is subpar since there is no tech support available. Conversely, the paid version is exceptional with prompt and effective customer support.

I have used Box, Dropbox, and a home file server. I switched to the Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy because my university used it and I did not want to use multiple solutions. Additionally, the others were more expensive.

The initial setup of the Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy is easy. However, it can be confusing for students because the help files could improve.

To sign up for personal Google One or Google Workspace, you can easily do so and make the payment on your own. However, for educational purposes, the process is more involved. You need to have a Google representative come out and give a presentation, and you have to learn the mock management which requires more effort.

A single individual can deploy the personal version of the Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy. However, the education version requires assistance from Google or must be done by them.

The solution is inexpensive for personal use.

We have one IT administrator for the maintenance of the solution.

Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy is good for teamwork but not for an enterprise solution. It does not have business features.

I rate Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy a ten out of ten.

We have an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solution hosted on the Google Cloud platform and deployed internally. We use the solution to do identity and access management and security updates on that.

Since the solution works with Terraform, it makes Infrastructure as Code (IaC) easier.

The solution is a bit complex and could be made easier to use. The solution should have an easier knowledge base. The solution should have basic-level certifications that encourage people to start using it because its certifications are lengthy.

I have been using Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy for two years.

I rate Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy ten out of ten for stability.

Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy is a scalable solution. Around 20 administrators are using the solution in our organization.

The solution's technical support tool could be better because they use third-party vendors instead of Google engineers.

We previously worked with Azure. We switched to Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy because it was blockchain-based.

The solution’s initial setup is pretty straightforward.

Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy was deployed by a vendor for us.

Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy is a cloud-based solution, and we are using its latest version.

Overall, I rate Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy an eight out of ten.
