Functions well with good features
Pros and Cons
  • "Functions well and has good features."
  • "Google is not well supported in France."

What is our primary use case?

Our use case is to plug platforms, especially applications that are 
based on website micro services such as containers. 

What is most valuable?

From our perspective this is a good solution that functions well and has good features. 

What needs improvement?

We are based in France and it's difficult to find people with sufficient training to assist us. I'd like to see companies with the right level of expertise to help my customers to move their projects from the traditional information system or infrastructures on premise to cloud but it's very difficult to find that here. Google is not well supported in France. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was not so easy. The average deployment time is between one and two years. It requires an initial feasibility study to understand the scope. Once that's established you need to find the path to help set up the right security parameters. The migration is done through scripting and codes. The deployment requires project managers and engineers.

What other advice do I have?

I recommend this solution but it's important to find the right partner and be sure you have a suitable use case. I rate this solution eight out of 10.

It's flexible and the price is reasonable
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features of Google Cloud Platform are the Kubernetes engine, CI/CD, and BigQuery."
  • "The hard part is creating the pack because our applications are in Azure Data Proxy, Data Fabric, and Data Factory. Our team used these tools in Azure, but in the future, they will transition to GCP."

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of Google Cloud Platform are the Kubernetes engine, CI/CD, and BigQuery. 

What needs improvement?

Apigee is a good feature because we analyzed and changed the computer-associated AP to Apigee. We compared the features and created the clusters to change the solution to Apigee. It's a good option on the Google Cloud Platform. And I like BigQuery, which is a fantastic database on the SaaS model. The hard part is creating the pack because our applications are in Azure Data Proxy, Data Fabric, and Data Factory. Our team used these tools in Azure, but in the future, they will transition to GCP.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Google Cloud Platform for one year.

How are customer service and support?

Google support is outstanding. It's effortless to contact Google engineers, who are all Brazilians. The work is well explained, and they participate in our technical meetings. 

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

I think the price of Google Cloud Platform is reasonable. However, Microsoft is the most cost-effective solution for us because of Azure's integration. And we already have licenses for Windows Server and the databases, so the price is attractive. And the price of AWS is higher, but we have only two big applications on the AWS. Still, I like Google so much, and my company thinks GCP is the best way to handle our workloads.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Google Cloud Platform nine out of 10. I like the GCP so much because it's flexible. We have tools for similar tech drivers, and we can connect them in the other clouds, where I use the Anthos platform. I created an Anthos platform for similar tech drivers to administer all of the different cloud solutions on the same platform. So, for example, I can put the comments on Cloud Shell and create a resource in the other clouds.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Google

Provides an identity portal for our applications and is a reliable solution
Pros and Cons
  • "If you have a good understanding of infrastructure, this solution is perfect."
  • "The integration of the solution for patching, updating, and installing the updates could be better."

What is our primary use case?

For Google Cloud Platform (GCP), we use it as our infrastructure. We host our infrastructures and create our machines, services and automation pipelines. For Google Cloud Identity, we use it as an identity portal for all of our applications. In addition, the internal application for the tools is used for monitoring the product.

What is most valuable?

The Cloud Identity in GCP is very good and reliable. It can be published fast. Also, Google Cloud Identity allows you to create groups and give access by group instead of by user. It allows you to create different access policies for every component of new infrastructure, and from a security perspective, this is good.

What needs improvement?

The Google Cloud UI has a lot of bugs, and they are working on enhancing it. There are a lot of things that need to be enhanced. For example, sometimes, the snapshot portal makes you have a schedule to create multiple snapshots when you have a huge infrastructure hosted on Google Cloud. Sometimes the browser or the UI hangs when looking for a specific snapshot. Also, Google Cloud support responds very quickly, but the UI still needs to have more enhancements related to the performance.

The integration of the solution for patching, updating, and installing the updates could be better. For example, they have a solution called "always patching," which needs to be enhanced. It is not purely a SaaS solution. It should be mostly platform as a solution, not software.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution for more than two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution. However, it would be more stable if Google cared more about the UI.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution. Most of the teams in our company use this solution. The number of people needed for deployment and maintenance depends on whether it is a small or medium company solution. Only one person is needed for a small environment, while two or three are required for a medium environment. The team that supports the solution comprises network and security people. We plan to increase our usage of the solution as our customer base increases.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is good, and they are very responsive. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I personally have used Azure and AWS in the past.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was easy, and it was just plug-and-play. If you have a good understanding of infrastructure, this solution is perfect. It allows us to build an entire infrastructure for a startup or medium company in one hour. To do this, we need to try the script with the machines we need. Next, we need to define the CPU, memory and application we want to install on the machine. Then we can click and run the playbook or the tier forms script and go back after hours. By then, everything has been created, and we'll have an infrastructure that can handle a small startup.

The deployment depends on the complexity. If it is a small deployment, it might take less time, but a larger deployment will take more. For example, if we want to use a machine on GCP, it might take about two to three minutes, but if we have a huge deployment for multiple machines with multiple loop balances, records, and firewall rules, it might take 40 minutes to one hour. We completed the deployment in-house.

What other advice do I have?

I rate this solution an eight out of ten. Regarding advice, I would recommend planning for everything and keeping it simple. It is also important to monitor consumption on the Google Cloud to ensure you are not paying for something you are not using.

Most cloud providers have the same features, but the main difference between them is the solution's availability and cost. Most of the features are only utilized at 30% or 50%.
