Pros and Cons
  • "It is a scalable solution."
  • "There are certain shortcomings with the product's stability where improvements are required."

What is our primary use case?

I use Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy for storage. The product also makes it easy for me to host some of the websites. I have not used a lot of tools or functionalities offered by the product.

How has it helped my organization?

Benefit-wise, the product helps to speed up our company's work and make our storage more efficient, allowing us to retrieve and store files.

What is most valuable?

The solution's most valuable feature is its interfaces, which are easy to use.

What needs improvement?

Some of the product users feel that the solution's storage part should be increased, especially when compared to products like Yahoo, which is an old tool in the market that offers unlimited storage to users. Other platforms offer more storage sizes than Google. The storage part of the solution, especially the storage capability offered by Google Drive, needs to be increased.

There are certain shortcomings with the product's stability where improvements are required.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product's stability is okay.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution.

Around 10,000 people in my company use the product. My company plans to increase the use of the solution in the future.

My company plans to increase the use of the solution in the future. Whenever a new employee joins the organization, the services offered by the product are automatically attached to the new employee's profile.

How are customer service and support?

The only technical support our company uses is the one that Microsoft offers.

How was the initial setup?

The product's initial setup phase is seamless. Anybody with deep knowledge of IT can take care of the setup phase.

The solution is deployed on the cloud. To deploy the product on an on-premises model takes a lot of effort. When it comes to the deployment model of the solution, you need to consider the infrastructure and the current setup of an organization and look into the details that can work for you.

What about the implementation team?

Our company's in-house team takes care of the product's deployment part.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

For high-level storage capacity, you have to involve different storage types in your environment. I have never really compared the storage cost of AWS to Google, so I really can't say anything about the cost of the product now. The price of the product falls on the cheaper side of the spectrum.

What other advice do I have?

Irrespective of whether you use the paid services or the free services offered by the product, you are guaranteed to get value from using the tool.

I rate the overall solution an eight and a half out of ten.

A user-friendly, easy-to-use, and affordable product that also offers good scalability options to users
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease with which one can use it."

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

What is most valuable?

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

What needs improvement?

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.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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.

How was the initial setup?

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 about the implementation team?

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

What was our ROI?

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

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

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.

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.

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.

What is most valuable?

The solution's speed, processing power, and user functionality are some of its most valuable features.

What needs improvement?

I think the solution has some issues in document accessing and accessing of some data at times when you have automated scripts. So, maybe that could be made better in the solution. Sometimes, it just fails to get some documents, and then it resumes normally. Google should work to enhance the overall features of the solution.
