Google Cloud Reviews

We have an ERP platform in our organization to manage things. Such platforms work well in medium and small-sized companies but we have a lot of modules and hence use GCP as a platform to deploy our web. We will also incorporate AI features in the future to improve the software.

The solution has improved our web apps so that we can have a canary deployment. GCP also helps us upload new features and changes to our software without impacting a lot of users with the network. The AI features have improved the software as well.

I have found the AI features, networking, and quality of Google products valuable.

The UI is beautiful but not easy to use, and also a little slow. Anything that you click is slow to load. It is also not easy to find something. I do not find the left-hand side menu good. We have a lot of options mixed there and we need the best way to deploy cloud resources. I prefer Azure ARM templates since their JSON files are easy to manipulate and integrate with other tools.

I have been using Google Cloud for four years.

The solution is stable though some of the features don’t work.

The solution is scalable. There are three users of GCP in my organization.

I am the solution’s administrator and have deployed it in my organization. The setup is not so easy. Following the steps that are shown on the screen is okay but the problem arises when we have to create new users. For example, it is not easy to get permission for creating service accounts for users. You have to edit the users, insert a lot of documents, and search the internet to find a solution.

There is good ROI with the solution because we have a lot of solutions and some of the features come for free. Even the paid features are priced fairly.

It is not easy to calculate the price of the solution from the pricing table since they are not standard rates. However, I find the solution’s prices to be fair and reasonable.

I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. The solution is easy to maintain. I would recommend anyone willing to try the solution to study the platform and do some courses on it. I studied the platform a lot before using it. If you do not study the platform, you will find it very disorganized and difficult to maintain.

We primarily use the solution for sharing resources, including creating folders and sending them to the team so that docs can be loaded in.

You can start with 30MB for free. Anybody can get edit access via permissions and people can just start collaborating. 

The setup is easy. 

The solution is stable and reliable.

It can scale.

The solution is very user-friendly.

We'd like to maybe see more integrations in the future. 

It would be nice if they could offer more free storage. 

The solution could always improve security. 

We've been using the solution for a long time. 

It's a stable solution. I'd rate it nine out of ten. The reliability is good, and there are no bugs or glitches. 

The scalability is great. I'd rate it nine out of ten in terms of being able to expand the product. 

We have a few hundred users on the solution currently. We might increase usage sometime in the future. 

I've never had to reach out to technical support in the past. It's easy to use, and we haven't had any issues. 

It's not complex to set up the solution. The implementation is pretty straightforward. The deployment itself did not take very long. everyone pretty much knows how to use it. There's no real learning curve. 

I'm not sure how many people in my company need to maintain the product, if any. 

I've never looked at the ROI.

I'm not sure what the exact licensing costs are. 

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

I'd recommend the solution to others as it is very easy to use and is great for collaboration. 

I would rate the solution nine out of ten. 

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.

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.

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

The stability is good with Google Cloud.

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

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.

The initial setup is easy and straightforward.

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

I would rate Good Cloud a nine out of ten.

We use Google Cloud for setting up the server. It is our development Server.

It is simple to use. 

Everything was very simple to set up. I would say that we were already fairly comfortable with Google. 

It didn't take long to get everything set up and understand what was going on. Things are pretty clear.

The price could improve. Every customer would agree, that they would like the price to be reduced.

We have been working with Google Cloud for one year.

I am satisfied with the stability of Google Cloud.

The scalability of Google Cloud is good. It's a scalable product.

We only have one instance, which is a single server.

We didn't require any technical support. We were able to find solutions on the internet.

The security features in OpenText are great. 

For web security, we do not use anything specific. Because we are working on OpenText AppWorks, the built-in security features are useful. In the production environment, the customer is responsible for the security of the web servers.

We use both Windows Server 2019 and Linux Servers.

Our customers have tested Webroot endpoint protection, and have not had any issues.

We are also working with Amazon AWS EC2. Our feedback would be similar to Google Cloud.

The initial setup is straightforward.

I don't remember the exact time because it was a while ago, but from what I recall, the setup took no more than two or three hours.

Technical assistance is required, but it is easily accessible via the internet. It is not difficult to understand.

In my opinion, the price is not excessive when compared to competitors. The market determines the price.

Licensing fees are paid monthly.

We have not yet evaluated Pega BPM, but we plan to do so in the future. We may begin practicing in Pega.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate Google Cloud a nine out of ten.

We build solutions based on the Google platform. We don't create solutions for ourselves. We create them for our customers.

We are using it specifically for our machine learning and data analytics. We are building our data solutions by using Google Cloud services. We are building the analytics dashboards and coming out with predictive analytics for education.

It is stable. It is easy to learn and very straightforward.

They need to improve the costing for predictive analytics, which is mainly related to the tools that come with AI. They also need to improve the BigQuery cost optimization and the visualization.

Their support could be faster.

I have been using this solution for the last one year.

It is stable.

It is auto-scalable. We have around 30 to 40 associates on this.

At the moment, we have around three customers who are using this particular product.

Their tech support is not so great. It takes more than 48 hours to get a response from the Google team. Their support could be faster.

It is a cloud-based solution, so there is no installation.

It has a monthly subscription. The customers pay based on the usage.

We are getting into a partnership with Google very soon. Almost our whole organization will be a Google partner. We recommend Google for every educational institution.

I would rate Google Cloud a nine out of 10.

The features I found most valuable are the cloud run and cloud function.

I would like for this solution to improve its user interface and documentation.

In the next release, I'd like to see information that's easier to use.

I have been using this solution for the past year.

I would rate the stability of this solution a nine, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

I would rate the technical support of this solution a 10, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

Positive

Previously, we used Amazon Web Services.

I would rate the initial setup process a six, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. If you want to configure the solution correctly, you have to use your own R&D and configure and select the correct commands. The deployment took a couple of minutes.

Regarding pricing, we are currently using free credits.

I would advise other people looking into this solution to go through the documentation thoroughly first.

I would rate this solution as a whole a seven, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

I typically use the solution for creating infrastructure.

The governance feature is very good. 

There are several functions the cloud has, which are quite useful.

The virtual machines are very big. It isn't small, like Azure or AWS.

It's relatively inexpensive.

The stability is okay.

The solution can scale as well. 

The Spanish version is in beta. It needs to be farther along.

We'd like the solution to be smaller and lighter. It could be simpler. 

We'd like for some better integration from TerraForm.

The solution has okay stability, however, that said, it has a way to go before it keeps up to something like Azure. Even AWS is more stable.

The solution, as far as I can tell, is quite scalable. 

I also work with AWS and Azure. I find the stability okay with Google, and it is quite sizeable. However, AWS and Azure are more stable and lighter. 

The pricing is very good. We're happy with it for the most part.

It was cheap. I'd rate it a four out of five in terms of being affordable. They are very competitive with other clouds. 

We're a consulting company and use the infrastructure created by the cloud itself. 

I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

The solution's most valuable feature is BigQuery. We can train models for forecasting and predictions by just writing SQL queries with it. Also, GKE features work best, along with integrating Istio for monitoring purposes.

The solution's integration with Oracle could be better. We encounter issues while migrating the database from Oracle to another SQL server.

We have been using the solution for two and a half years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable and has automatic features for it. I rate its scalability a nine or ten.

The solution's technical support is good. We also contact other vendors trained in Google Cloud support in case of queries.

Positive

I rate the solution's initial setup process a seven out of ten. We need to understand its complete landscape for more straightforward implementation. Although, its deployment is faster and takes over a month to complete.

The solution has OpEx and CapEx, pricing models. Thus, the cost depends on specific use cases.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
