Google Cloud Reviews

We use the solution for our SAP infrastructure.

The product’s infrastructure is up to the mark. The infrastructure is easy to manage. It is better than Azure and AWS. It is easy to implement the product.

DevOps must be improved. DevOps in AWS is quite easy to establish and can be easily used by startups and big companies. It is not so with Google Cloud. The product must provide AI features.

I have been using the solution for more than one and a half years.

The tool is quite stable.

The tool is scalable. We support our customers. We have around 2000 to 3000 customers.

The support is good. The third-party support could be improved.

Positive

The installation is easy. Most of my customers have Windows. VDI lags in Google Cloud. The deployment takes one month. We have more than 30 people in our technical team. We have eight to ten people to maintain the solution. Other people are involved in support or are senior employees like cloud architects. It is easy to maintain the tool.

The solution is cheaper than AWS. The licenses are annual. The cost is inclusive of support.

We are partners. People must choose Google Cloud. It is a great product. Overall, I rate the product an eight 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.

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.

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.

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.
