I rate the solution's stability a nine out of ten because there is scope for improvement.

Provides intuitive dashboards and easy server access
Pros and Cons
  • "It is a stable solution."
  • "We encounter issues while setting up emails for the solution."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for continuous integration and deployment of applications on databases.

What is most valuable?

The solution's most valuable features are Google domains, UI setup, easy server access, and intuitive dashboards.

What needs improvement?

The solution's naming conventions feature needs improvement. We encounter issues while setting up emails as well. They should improve this particular area. Also, they should integrate the solution with more applications.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for six months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution's stability is good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have five solution users in our organization. It is expensive to scale up the solution.

How was the initial setup?

The solution's initial setup was fine. However, it took a lot of work to name the features. The process involves setting up the server, connecting to the gateway, and setting up user access and security codes.

What about the implementation team?

The implementation of the solution was done natively on the platform.

What was our ROI?

The solution generates a good return on investment.

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

An efficient solution that can manage large databases with its speedy and high-processing capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution's speed, processing power, and user functionality are some of its most valuable features."
  • "Sometimes, it just fails to get some documents, and then it resumes normally. Google should work to enhance the overall features of the solution."

What is our primary use case?

Google Cloud Platform's Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy manages our organization's entire user database across the Middle East region for PwC. In addition, the solution is used to run virtual environments and storage solutions. It also serves our needs for AI or any other applications, including using Apps Script.

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have experience with Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy for four and a half years. Also, I am using the latest version of the solution.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution offers medium to high stability to its users.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Though I never used the solution from a scalability standpoint, I assume that its scalability would be fine.

How are customer service and support?

I never contacted the solution's technical support team because our organization has an internal IT department.

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

I previously used Azure. However, my company never used Azure.

How was the initial setup?

The solution's initial setup process was fine. I assume that one person is required for the deployment process of the solution.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend the solution to those planning to use it in the future. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Reliable with good documentation and and an easy deployment
Pros and Cons
  • "It's reliable."
  • "The solution is quite expensive."

What is our primary use case?

This is a service. We use it for our business, for operations. 

What is most valuable?

This can be deployed easily. 

The solution is stable. It's reliable. 

There is good documentation available. There is a lot of information available online to help new users. 

What needs improvement?

It is hard to find expertise, ad most people deal with AWS. 

The solution is quite expensive. 

We'd like the solution to continue to make security features more robust. We need to protect against data leaks and also need to protect customer information. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using the solution for less than a year now. We're a new company.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This is a stable, reliable product. It does not have bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We're a new company. This solution hasn't been used for too long, and we haven't really launched anything yet. Right now, it is still just internally dealt with. Likely less than 100 people deal with it right now. 

How are customer service and support?

The support could be better. There needs to be more knowledgeable. It could be that there aren't enough people with a good knowledge base in our country. Most people are comfortable with AWS, and not necessarily with GCP. However, I don't typically deal with technical support. 

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

We also use AWS, which is what most companies use. 

How was the initial setup?

The solution is very easy to set up and deploy. It's not a complex process. We can easily deploy applications, APIs, et cetera. However, I did not handle the initial setup myself and therefore cannot speak from firsthand experience. 

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

We do find it to be more expensive than AWS. 

What other advice do I have?

I'm not sure what version of the solution we're using. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. There's not a problem with deploying it. The business decision comes more about the deployment and support costs and if that makes sense to everyone in the company. It's higher than AWS, which is something that needs to be considered, especially since most people are more familiar with AWS. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. It's well documented and does have available support. 

We are a customer and end-user. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Has the ability to set an accessibility feature using cloud identity
Pros and Cons
  • "There is a certain accessibility feature that I can set using a cloud identity, which is really valuable to us."
  • "the documentation could be a bit better in terms of what is presented on the screen versus what actually happens."

What is our primary use case?

It's a cloud-based solution, so it's always the latest version. We use it for identity management, monitor resources, and to monitor the cloud resources. The number of users are small, but the number of resources being managed is large. We plan to roll it out to about 30,000 people.

What is most valuable?

There is a certain accessibility feature that I can set using a cloud identity, which is really valuable to us.

What needs improvement?

I think that the documentation could be a bit better in terms of what is presented on the screen versus what actually happens. There's a little bit of confusion under your resource discovery you get in a search bar having to do with the level of complexity of the product design. But I think the documentation could be better.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy for about a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It scales well, in fact, it's quite relevant. We've not put it to an extreme level of scale, but we use it at a medium level of scalability. It's working well.

How are customer service and technical support?

Google's technical support is really good. In fact, I've only been in touch through email and they've been really responsive. In fact, most of our responses happen in minutes.

How was the initial setup?

The setup is straightforward. I don't think it's a function of how long it takes to set up. it's a continuous deployment. At the time it was a new resource that has to be reconfigured. The initial set up was a few days, but after that its incremental changes that we do.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We've evaluated Microsoft.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy at an eight out of ten.
