Pros and Cons
  • "The stability is good with Google Cloud."
  • "Compared to that, it is going very well and most of the customers now actually use Google Cloud."
  • "Current technologies keep on changing, so definitely those new changes need to be incorporated quickly. The competition is always out there to be one step ahead. How those open-source platforms can be easily integrated into the cloud, is going to be the key in the future."
  • "Current technologies keep on changing, so definitely those new changes need to be incorporated quickly."

When looking at CI/CD, and Kubernetes they are very good. In the new areas of CI/CD, and DevOps, those tools are actually good, in terms of utilization.

What needs improvement?

Current technologies keep on changing, so definitely those new changes need to be incorporated quickly. The competition is always out there to be one step ahead. How those open-source platforms can be easily integrated into the cloud, is going to be the key in the future.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Googe Cloud now for three to four years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Google cloud is scalable. We have more than two hundred working on the solution.

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

We are actually using other products also of the cloud like AWS and Azure. Compared to that, it is going very well and most of the customers now actually use Google Cloud. If you talk about security, it is actually the integration with LDAP. When moving the organization's data it is important to manage that same LDAP, authentication, and usage of connecting the Google public cloud to the private infrastructure. Those items are actually much better in Google Cloud.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy and straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

When you have professional individuals work with the deployment it takes roughly three to four hours for installation.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Good Cloud a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

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

Google

Cloud infrastructure solution that reduces capital expenditure and offers stability and scalability
Pros and Cons
  • "It eliminates capital expenditures and subsequent MNO that we would use to spend on on-prem architectures. That money is funneled towards security and connectivity provisioning."
  • "The value for us is the infrastructure as we don't have to host or worry about upgrades."
  • "An area of improvement would be in the of managing accounts in terms of what we are using for memory, availability, and monitoring."
  • "An area of improvement would be in the managing of accounts in terms of what we are using for memory, availability, and monitoring."

How has it helped my organization?

The value for us is the infrastructure as we don't have to host or worry about upgrades. It eliminates capital expenditures and subsequent MNO that we would use to spend on on-prem architectures. That money is funneled towards security and connectivity provisioning. This is a better way of spending money and trying to keep up with the cloud-forward strategy that we have in Oregon.

What needs improvement?

An area of improvement would be in the of managing accounts in terms of what we are using for memory, availability, and monitoring. We want to monitor our SaaS deployment within Google to give our SOC a good idea of what's going on.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution for a couple of years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This is a stable solution. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This is a scalable solution. 

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

This solution is worth the money we are paying. I would rate the pricing a three out of five. 

What other advice do I have?

From a maintenance perspective, we have cloud architects who are working on what data can go where and what infrastructure we require from the cloud service providers. This is a team of ten. 

I would advise others considering this solution to always plan and have a good blocking service before moving anything to the cloud. It is important to complete an evaluation of sing the solution long term and to take cost provisioning, availability of services, cyber security, credibility and compliance into consideration.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

User-friendly, overall performs well, and accessible anywhere
Pros and Cons
  • "Google Cloud is easy to use and accessible anywhere."
  • "Google Cloud can be used to share files with no need to carry them with you since it is on the cloud, and you can access it anywhere if you are traveling or if you have important documents."
  • "Microsoft's solution is more common, Google Cloud could improve by being more compatible with different platforms or entities."
  • "Microsoft's solution is more common, Google Cloud could improve by being more compatible with different platforms or entities."

What is our primary use case?

Google Cloud can be used to share files with no need to carry them with you since it is on the cloud. You can access it anywhere if you are traveling or if you have important documents.

What is most valuable?

Google Cloud is easy to use and accessible anywhere.

What needs improvement?

Microsoft's solution is more common, Google Cloud could improve by being more compatible with different platforms or entities.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Google Cloud for a few years.

How are customer service and support?

The solution is straightforward and since I am a professional, there is no need for any support.

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

I have used Microsoft's solution and they have more users using it than Google Cloud.

How was the initial setup?

Google Cloud has no installation since it is on the cloud.

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

Google Cloud should be divided into modules so that users can buy which module will satisfy them. The overall price of Google Cloud should be reduced, Microsoft is a little bit cheaper. However, if Google divided the cloud offering it would be better. For example, if someone wants to use only for OneDrive they should be able to purchase the service separately, it would reduce the price. There is a license required to use this solution for enterprises.

There is a free account, which the users can increase the size of the space. Google cloud is used in most Android Mobile device operating systems.

What other advice do I have?

I have always said that Google Cloud is better than Microsoft, but the common solution is Microsoft and with some of the compatibility issues with Google Cloud, we typically choose Microsoft.

I rate Google Cloud a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

Highly efficient tools for personal storage and programming
Pros and Cons
  • "It's easy to deploy Google Cloud."
  • "The performance after long-term use shows the storage is too full, and I cannot add more storage without paying for it."

What is our primary use case?

For personal storage, Google Workspace, Google portal, Google video, Google file, and Google Cloud Shell for programming language.

What is most valuable?

The services that are the most helpful include Google Portal, Google Video, Google File, and Google Cloud Shell.

What needs improvement?

The performance after long-term use shows the storage is too full, and I cannot add more storage without paying for it. I want to migrate to another solution if I need to pay for additional storage. It would also be enjoyable if there is no HBase in Google Workspace.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Google Cloud for some time and am still using it.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The problem with scaling is that if I add space to Google Cloud, I must pay for it, so I want to migrate to another solution.

How was the initial setup?

It's easy to deploy Google Cloud. The deployment is compatible and efficient.

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

If I add up space in Google Cloud, I must pay for it. The pricing of Google Cloud is considered cheap.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have used Alibaba Cloud and found it more complex compared to Google Cloud, which is more practical.

What other advice do I have?

I recommend Google Cloud to other people.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

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

Offers good speed, security, and performance to users
Pros and Cons
  • "The speed, security, and performance of Google Cloud are excellent."
  • "As a new product, the product's initial setup phase is a little bit difficult."

What is our primary use case?

So far, I like all the features that I use with Google Cloud. I like it very much compared to the previous tool that we had.

What is most valuable?

The speed, security, and performance of Google Cloud are excellent.

What needs improvement?

Actually, our company doesn't venture out much to use all of the products and features covered under Google Cloud because we do have our own customizations when it comes to the setups for the company. We are trying to maximize our resources, the cost, and the assets, and we want to control it on our own.

The product's initial setup phase is a little bit difficult, so it is an area where improvements are required.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have three months of experience with Google Cloud. My role in the company is as a researcher and a developer. I am an end-user of the tool.

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?

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

We are working with approximately 300 users of the tool in our company.

How are customer service and support?

The solution's technical support was average. I rate the technical support a six out of ten.

The technical support for Google's platforms are embedded under products, so we are meant to go for self-learning. My company does not have experience with human intervention when it comes to Google. Only self-learning is needed for the products.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

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

Right now, we have Google Cloud's Compute Engine and SQL Server, but we have not used the tools yet because we are diverting into self-hosting.

Previously, I worked with Microsoft products for my previous employer. All Microsoft products, including Office, servers, databases, and SQL Server.

How was the initial setup?

As a new product for us, the product's initial setup phase is a little bit difficult.


The product's deployment phase took place over a month. I then deployed the virtual machine, VPC, the storage, and SQL Server. We ran it for a couple of days, and then we saw the billing and the cost. The cost is based on the products you used, CPUs, Storage, Memory, API access and bandwidth. We saw that the tool was great but very costly for us, and so we did not continue.


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

If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as an eight.

What other advice do I have?

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Private Cloud

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

A public cloud platform providing good analytics feature for moving and transforming data
Pros and Cons
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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.

How was the initial setup?

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

What was our ROI?

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

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

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

What other advice do I have?

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. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud
