Google Cloud Reviews

Unlike some tools we have on Microsoft, Google Drive allows me to share documents with people outside my organization easily. I can upload a document, create a link, and share it directly. With Microsoft, sharing with people outside my organization often requires additional permissions, possibly due to our IT policies.

For presentations, I use Microsoft tools for work-related tasks, but for personal projects, such as creating something for my child's class, I upload and share them via Google Drive instead. Additionally, we use Google Drive to upload and store personal documents.

The product is intuitive and comfortable to use. People may not realize they can create and share presentations and documents with a link. 

We can share documents with the whole class. Sharing information Using Google Drive and Google Cloud is very common. 

There are some areas where Google Cloud could be improved. Specifically, they are not well-aligned with right-to-left languages like Hebrew and Arabic. We encounter numerous issues when we use documents that mix right-to-left languages with left-to-right languages, such as Hebrew and English. This lack of alignment creates significant problems. Considering more than 400 million Arabic speakers, this is a central area where improvements would be beneficial.

I think Google Cloud needs to address this issue by conducting research involving Hebrew, Arabic, and Persian speakers. They should also look into improving their tools to better support right-to-left languages.

I have been using the solution for several years. 

I rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten. 

I rate the solution's scalability a ten out of ten.

I'd recommend the solution to other potential users. It is easy to set up. You can choose to have a personal friend and gain access to your documents from anywhere.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

I primarily use Google Cloud for analytics purposes. The data originates from our on-premise cloud system but is transferred to Google Cloud for analysis.

Regarding Google Cloud's data analytics features, I find the presentation of information and the ability to move and transform data to be the most valuable. As for machine learning capabilities, they are helpful, especially in detecting anomalies or outliers in our data. For instance, Google Cloud can identify unusual network behavior and provide recommendations on how to address or leverage these findings effectively.

I think one area that could be improved in Google Cloud is the customer support. Sometimes the integration process can be a bit complex due to format errors. Also having clearer documentation or a larger support team could really help users like me understand and resolve issues more effectively.

I have been using Google Cloud for the past four years. 

In terms of stability, I'd give Google Cloud a nine out of ten as it's very stable.

Google Cloud is scalable, which serves our organization's scaling needs well. We have multiple users directly interacting with the technology, and while we don't have immediate plans to increase usage, we would consider extending it in the future. 

As for scalability, I'd rate it a ten out of ten as it's more than enough for our needs.

Integrating Google Cloud with our existing systems has been. Deployment is super fast, and takes a couple of minutes.

Google Cloud has helped us save time, approximately around thirty to forty percent.

Google Cloud is on the expensive side for us. I don't have exact figures on the cost per year or month.

I haven't used Google Cloud for AI projects personally. But I have utilized Google AI for optimizing Google Ads campaigns. It's an automated machine learning model that uses data from websites to understand customer behavior and improve marketing strategies for better results like increasing clicks or purchases. 

My advice for those considering Google Cloud is to have a technical advisor due to its complexity. It's data-driven, stable, and scalable, which are strong advantages.

Overall, I would give it a rating of around an eight out of ten. 

Google Cloud is perceived as a cost-effective and user-friendly option, especially compared to AWS. The current affordability and ease of use make it suitable for medium-sized companies. While the complexity may increase in the future, for now, Google Cloud is considered easy to use.

The product should be more cost-effective. 

I have been using the product for six years. 

The product is stable. 

My company has more than 1000 users. 

The tool's deployment is not complex. 

Google Cloud's deployment can be done in-house. 

I rate the overall product an eight out of ten. Various factors come into play when considering the adoption of Google Cloud. Cost is a significant consideration, but it's not the sole factor. The availability of skilled developers in the market, technology support, scalability for future growth, and the range of products offered are also crucial. Additionally, the ease of finding Google Cloud-certified developers and the level of support from the company or vendor contribute to the decision-making process.

Our aim is to provide comprehensive solutions to our valued customers. Whether it be to fulfill their specific requests or to help them attain their desired outcomes, we utilize the cutting-edge technology available in Google Cloud. This allows us to effectively cater to our client's needs while also providing a mutually beneficial experience.

My customers appreciate all the features that Google Cloud has to offer. They are looking for solutions for computing engines, storage, web hosting, and various other needs. The most useful feature depends on their specific requirements and how they plan to utilize Google Cloud. Each customer has their own unique set of needs and the Google Cloud provides a range of options to meet those needs.

Google Cloud could improve interoperability with other cloud services. 

Our objective was to attain a convenient and straightforward configuration process not only in Google Cloud but in other widely utilized cloud services. Regardless of the cloud service you are currently utilizing or intend to connect to, we desire for the process to be seamless and effortlessly attainable with only quick action. It is our hope that all cloud services possess this level of interoperability with one another.

I have been using Google Cloud for approximately five years.

The stability of Google Cloud is great.

Google Cloud is scalable.

I have not used the support from Google Cloud.

I have used Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS prior to using Google Cloud. I prefer Google Cloud. The interface is designed in a way that is easy to understand, even for those with limited technical knowledge. One can effortlessly acquire the necessary knowledge through online resources, allowing for self-sufficient learning.

The initial setup of the solution was easy. We only need to complete approximately four steps and we have a cloud instance. The process takes 10 seconds.

There is not any specific maintenance required to be done with the solution.

My advice to others is for them to take all the advantages of the free tiers from each cloud solution vendor and then decide what they want to use.

I rate Google Cloud a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for small applications. There are also a few web applications with Angular.

I'm very happy with Google Cloud. Everything works. For us, the solution is very easy to use. We have the right skillsets for it.

Users find it easy to work with it. 

I don't need to create an API layer since it automatically creates it for me.

It offers a real-time database, so we get updates really fast.

The Firebase database is great.

The tutorials people can find online are good.

The solution offers fair pricing.

It's pretty stable.

The solution can scale well.

It offers a simple initial setup.

There is only one issue that I have and it is when you create an account, they limit the number of accounts you can create.

The documentation could be better.

The backup needs improvement. I would prefer to do a one-piece backup solution where I can schedule backups.

It's just too complicated to migrate from one Firebase database to another. It should have been easy.

I'd like to see something like an exchange server, a managed email server, where I can handle other clients. I'd like something similar to Microsoft Exchange yet something that is like a fully managed email service.

I started using the solution maybe four years ago.

The stability has been great. I'd rate it ten out of ten. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. I've had no issues. 

It's a very scalable solution. I'd rate its ability to expand at a ten out of ten. 

We took a managed server, so it automatically scales. We've had a case where there were a thousand users streaming videos, and it all works fine.

We have 1200 users for one application. That said, we have a few applications and they all have varying amounts of users. It's likely around 1,000 users per app.

It's in our roadmap to increase usage.

I have tried Google support. I did send emails and never got a response for some of them. Compared to AWS, AWS has the best technical support and Google's is weaker.

Positive

We're also using AWS.

For Angular apps and for real-time apps and for real-time apps, Google Cloud is much better. When it comes to cleaning lambdas and small APIs, AWS is better. And the only thing I would say AWS is better is technical support. The support is 24 hours, and they're always ready to help. Google is less expensive, however.

The solution is straightforward to set up. I'd rate the ease of implementation nine out of ten. It's a cloud product. It's very easy.

Once you know what to do, the deployment is very quick and really easy. It's like one command line that you do to deploy. It only takes a minute.

We've got a repo. However, the deployments are done manually with just one command. They build locally and deploy manually.

Just one person managed the deployment process. 

Everything is implemented in-house. We did not need outside assistance. I was able to handle the deployment myself. 

Something that used to take six months might now only take two weeks. That's quite a change and a pretty good ROI.

I'd rate the pricing ten out of ten. It is an affordable product.

The cost might be $10 a month per user, which is about $300 a month in total.

We're a customer. 

I'm using a few of the services. I'm using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd advise new users to go through some tutorials. The documentation can be a bit hard to read. However, there are a lot of good tutorials out there. 

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution for deploying to the cloud. We have two products in production. 

Two years ago, I was working on local servers only. With this, we were able to move to the cloud.

There's a lot of investment in Google Cloud. It's a very good product now. 

The solution is stable.

It's more widely recognized and used by more people. 

They continue to invest in the cloud and it's becoming very good.

The security is getting better. 

It's easy to work with. 

We're very happy with the implementation at this time. 

The product can scale well.

I cannot recall coming across any missing features.

I've used the solution for a while now. It's been at least two years. 

The solution has been stable and reliable. I haven't dealt with bugs or glitches and have noticed any crashing or freezing. 

The solution is capable of scaling. It's not a problem. 

We have five people using it right now. 

In the future, we will increase usage.

Technical support has been helpful and responsive. We find them to be very good. 

I also have experience with Amazon as well. 

The solution has been easy to work with and easy to implement. It's not overly complex.

We have one person that is in charge of maintenance. It doesn't require much oversight. 

We have witnessed an ROI, although I do not have specifics surrounding that aspect. 

We've had licensing with Google for four years. The pricing is fine. It's not overly expensive. 

At this point, I haven't evaluated any other options. 

I am using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. 

In general, the solution is great and I would rate it ten out of ten. 

I'm using Google's solutions in the cloud to search for documents, store them, and so on. Since I have retired, I'm speaking as an individual user.

Google Cloud is very user-friendly, so whenever I face issues, I can handle and fix the issue myself.

For Google Cloud, the availability could be improved. I'm from China, and Google Cloud is not so popular there. Other than that, I would like to see an increase in storage with Google Cloud. For example, I use Baidu Cloud. Their cloud storage reaches the limit. In China, the biggest problem with Google Cloud is price.

I've been using these tools almost constantly in the three decades I've been in the IT industry. Now, as an individual user, I don't use Google Cloud that often.

I retired as an executive from a top IT solutions company, and companies that use Google Cloud have 50,000 to 70,000 employees.

In China, public clouds like Alibaba Cloud are similar to Google Cloud in terms of flexibility, but the difference is that in China, they compete on price. And users get similar clouds at a very low price. Those clouds are different from Google in that way.

The top three cloud services in China are Alibaba Cloud, Huawei, Tencent, etc. The top cloud service providers like Google, Azure, and IBM Cloud are not visible or popular in China.

Moreover, an alternative, like Microsoft, has problems with scalability. I use Microsoft Office and its email, and when I get too many emails, the performance is noticeably a problem.

The initial setup is straightforward. I can set up the solution by myself or with a little help from my colleagues.

Google Cloud is not completely free. You have to pay for a license.

In China, the public cloud providers price public cloud services very low. Overseas companies like Google, Microsoft, or even IBM face difficulty competing on price. Most users are casual users who won't go deep into the sophisticated features and functions. They only look at the price, and that's a big big factor.

I rate Google Cloud a six or a seven out of ten. I don't think I could recommend Alibaba Cloud people to use Google. The biggest problem is price, and there's no comparison. Moreover, Google has to improve its storage and scalability. Today, most users need storage and computing power, especially with ChatGPT-type AIGC. Usage is taking a lot of computing power. Public cloud services' usage by normal individual users is on the rise.
