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.

What other advice do I have?
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.

Lead Consultant at Neutrino Tech Systems
Good UI and easy to navigate between projects and manage logs
Pros and Cons
- "UI representation is the aspect I like the most about GCP, even more than Azure or AWS."
- "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 has crashed."
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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 how long have I used the solution?
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.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It was a stable solution. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It was a scalable solution. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is okay.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Enterprise Agile Consultant at Secret
Useful file storage, collaborative environment, and accessible from anywhere
Pros and Cons
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
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.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of the Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy are file storage, a collaborative environment, and easy access.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy for more than 10 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
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.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
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.
How are customer service and support?
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.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
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.
How was the initial setup?
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.
What about the implementation team?
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.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution is inexpensive for personal use.
What other advice do I have?
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.
