Google Cloud Reviews

The solution is used for storage for disaster recovery. It is used to store all the company data outside the company premises. It is also used for backups, AI processing, and database storage.

Some services use AI, and we use those services from Google.

The protection is good enough. We can increase the storage as we need. The global infrastructure impacts our service availability and latency positively. Some customers want their data stored in Europe. Others need it closer to where the users operate to minimize the latency and lag for accessing the data.

The price can be lowered significantly.

I have been using the solution for ten years. I am using the latest version of the solution.

The tool is stable. I rate the stability a ten out of ten.

The tool is scalable. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten. We have five users in our organization. The users configure and deploy the tool for our customers. It is not for our internal use.

The initial setup is simple enough if we know what we are doing. After the right amount of training, it's simple. There is a learning curve, but it is not very high or steep. The time taken for deployment depends on the architecture we are deploying.

The deployment was done in-house. We are a software development company. We have in-house personnel for deployments.

It's not an upfront cost. It grows when we need it to grow and comes down when we need to scale it down. We pay per use monthly.

We also use AWS and Azure. We adapt to products based on our customers’ needs.

People who want to use the tool must analyze their specific case before they commit to a cloud platform. In some cases, one of them might be better than the other. It is not generic. It depends on the use case. Our goal is to help our customers use the service. So, the scalability doesn't help us directly. It helps our customers grow.

There are different use cases. The value for us is that we can offer cloud-agnostic services. Regardless of the customer preference, we can help them configure their cloud systems. Overall, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten.

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.

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.

Google Cloud is easy to use and accessible anywhere.

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

I have been using Google Cloud for a few years.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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. 

We use Google Cloud to deploy our servers on containerized token servers and store user databases, which mostly consist of 5S data. It is very useful for authentication, as most of our back-end operations are powered by Google.

The most valuable feature is the ease of use. Google Cloud has mastered the user interface and user experience so much that it is very convenient. The 5S is the best tool for startups to set up things quickly and powerfully. Apart from that, Google Cloud has a lot of features. We can deploy with really powerful servers, auto-scaling, and all. Yeah. That's it. I tried AWS, but it has too many features. So Google Cloud is simple to use to start with.

When the companies grow at a larger scale, I often see them shifting to a different cloud services provider, like Oracle or AWS, because they may have critical features or preferences over Google Cloud. While Google Cloud is expanding, there is still room for improvement in flexibility.

I have been using Google Cloud for more than a year now.

I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.

It is very scalable. For starters, it is very scalable, but when we use it for a month, we may have to look for a different setup on Google Cloud. But, yes, it is very scalable.

I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We are happy with the scalability.

The customer service is pretty supportive. We are also in the Google Startup Program and they have been very helpful. The support is amazing.

Positive

The initial setup is super easy. I would rate it a ten out of ten.

Google Cloud has amazing documentation. It took a few hours to deploy the solution.

Some options might be cheaper for much larger scales, but at the scale, we are operating on, Google has very convenient pricing. I'd rate it a three out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.

I highly recommend using this solution. It's very easy to set up and get started with and is a perfect tool for startups. They have amazing support with their programs as well.

Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten.

I was investigating a couple of machine learning files and I loaded them into the Google Cloud Platform. 

I load and edit notebooks and add more resources to increase computational power. It satisfies the GPUs, basically. 

I tend to use their standard configuration and focus on editing the notebooks. I do not use it in a production environment. 

The solution meets my needs for the most part. Everything I need is there, and it has an interface I am familiar with.

There is no downtime. It is very reliable. 

The UI is very familiar and user-friendly. I like ht interface. 

The configurations are very easy. 

Also, if you need to increase computational power, you can do so. 

I find the system itself to be very convenient. 

It is always easy to access. 

It's stable and reliable. 

The solution scales well. 

The product is very good. I don't have any notes on areas for improvement. 

Integration is always something that can be improved. 

I've used the solution in the last 12 months. I use it very regularly. 

The solution is extremely stable. There are no bugs and glitches and there is no downtime. I find it to be extremely reliable. I've never experienced any kind of problems. I'd rate the stability nine out of ten. 

I'm using the solution in the context of a small company, and I just use it on my laptop. Therefore, I've never pushed scalability to the maximum. 

I'd rate the scalability nine out of ten. The level of scalability on offer is very high. It has a lot of computing power. 

I've never needed the help of technical support. I cannot comment on their level of service. 

I have used other solutions in the past and was disappointed with how there was always something not working properly. Also, I did not like how I had to buy credits, which was time-consuming. I had to increase my credit in order to sustain an increase in computing power. Google Cloud is very reliable. 

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. I'd rate it seven or eight out of ten in terms of ease of implementation. It's not overly complex. 

It is available on the web. You simply go to Google's website and it is there and accessible. 

I'm an end-user. 

I am using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd advise others to try it out. They can use it with confidence. I'd recommend it to others. 

I would rate the product nine out of ten. It's reliable and scalable. 

We use this solution for email and also make use of the Google servers and related services. 

The storage available for this solution could be improved, especially compared to a solution like Microsoft which offers 1 TB of storage. Google cloud offers only 30 GB.

I have used this solution for three years. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. 

The customer service team for this solution is very knowledgeable. 

There is very little setup needed for this solution. 

This solution is reasonably priced. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten. 

We largely use the solution for hosting and for the database it offers.

Both the hosting and the database are the most valuable features on this product.

The analytics could be improved. I need to be able to give them to the client. It is there, but you have to go to Google Cloud to see it. I want it added as a service so I can add it to the client-side and make it easily sharable with my clients.

The management side for the database needs some work. Currently, you do everything from the app. It would be nice to have an interface where you can go in and maintain data and deal with records and do something online. Also the ability to migrate the database should be a bit easier. You can't just copy a database and make another duplicate. You have to do all that bit manually.

I've only been using the solution for a total of three months at this point.

So far, after three months, I can say it's very stable. I haven't had issues with bugs or glitches. It hasn't crashed at all.

This is a solution that's so easy to expand when you need to. It's the best I've ever seen. It's much better than Azure.

Everything in the few months we've used the solution has been great so we haven't had a need to contact technical support. I can't speak to how they are because I have never directly had to deal with them.

I've used Azure as well. I've used that for a while and now I've moved to Google Cloud. Then, for a client, I'm also going to use AWS.

We switched from Azure because the setup is too complex, and, on the scalability side, you have to set it up yourself and I found it didn't actually work well. You have to constantly monitor your server and then add a new VM. There's a lot more effort required which is unnecessary if you have a solution that cuts the workload down. Google simplifies things on many levels, and it does the scaling for you.

The initial setup isn't complex per se. It's simple once you understand it, but it takes some time to figure it out. Once you do, it's very simple afterwards. In our case, it took us two weeks to get everything fully operational.

We don't require any maintenance. We just need to make sure we keep our data clean.

I handled the implementation myself. I didn't require any consultants or integrators to assist me.

The licensing for Google Cloud seems to be quite cheap and they're actually quite reasonable in comparison to Azure, which, as it turns out, is quite expensive. Even though Azure has a data center in South Africa it's still quite costly. There's no scaling, so if you go with the VM, you pay 2500 Rand. When you add another VM, it's another 2500 Rand even though you don't use the whole thing. With Google, you can go up as incrementally as you need to, even if it's just 30 Rand.

With Google, there's no licensing. Everything is included, just been based on the usage.

We're just a customer. We don't have any special connection to the company in any way.

Obviously, with Google, everything is the latest version. Google updates everything for you, so there isn't usually a time when we're on an "old version" of the solution.

We use the solution on a daily basis.

I would recommend Google Cloud. At the moment it's in third place, according to the standards. Right now it's ranked AWS, then Azure, then Google. Even though it's technically third, it's much better to use and it's a much better environment.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
