Google Cloud Reviews

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.

We primarily use the solution for our virtual machines. We put all of our software infrastructure onto virtual machines, and then we use Google as the cloud for storage. We use all of our own solutions inside and not their services so that if we did want to move to another cloud, like AWS, we could do so easily.

The initial setup is very easy.

We like that the solution is always available, and it would be simple to migrate as needed. 

We chose Google for its ease of use and value for money.

It is stable.

The solution can scale. 

I can't think of any improvements off the top of my head. 

The solution could be a bit cheaper.

I've been using the solution for five years. 

There were some glitches in the system years ago. That has since been fixed. Now, it is stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It's of a very good standard. 

It is very scalable, and you need to pay for it if you want to expand. 

We've had to reach out to support in the past. I wasn't able to get help from Google directly. I found help using the user community. 

The solution is very straightforward to set up. It's not overly complex. 

The solution offers the best value for money. 

I'm just a straightforward customer. 

I am not sure if we are using any specific version at this time. 

This is a good solution. You'd get done what you need to get done. There are many alternative solutions out there, however. What people need to know is if they will get their requirements met. This is a very capable platform. It's a good product to use and offers good value for money. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten overall. 

I am using Google Cloud to back up my files from my laptop. If I have any important information that I need to back up I use this solution.

The most valuable feature of Google Cloud is its security.

Google Cloud could improve by having better integration with other platforms.

I have been using Google Cloud for approximately three years.

Google Cloud is stable as long as you have a good internet connection.

The scalability of Google Cloud is good because if you need more space you only need to purchase more.

I have not contacted support.

The price of Google Cloud is affordable compared to others services. I pay monthly for the service.

I rate Google Cloud ten out of ten.

Everyone in my university is using the solution. We might have plans to increase our usage of the solution.

We're using Google Cloud as infrastructure for hosting MySQL, but don't use Google's Database as a Service. We manage our database ourselves. 

Google Cloud lacks some tools for database migration. I've only used MySQL and AWS in my career, so those are the only ones I can compare. AWS has a database migration tool that you can integrate with a cloud backup, so can take that backup and restore it in the AWS public cloud, but it's not the same with Google Cloud. We have to use a utility called mysqldump, which takes a long time to restore. That's a big shortcoming of Google Cloud. I don't know why they haven't thought of it.

I've been using Google Cloud Platform for about a year.

We weren't affected during the last major Google Cloud outage. We weren't in the availability zone that was affected. We haven't used it like Infrastructure as a Service. It doesn't provide you a lot unless all your services are in that particular cloud.

I've used all three major public cloud platforms that offer infrastructure as a service. It's hard to compare. If you're a bigger enterprise, it's better to use multiple public clouds so that you are not putting all your eggs in one basket.

For example, you might have an outage in Google Cloud but not in Azure or vice versa. It's the same for AWS. I can't say it won't ever happen, but all three major public clouds haven't gone down at the same time. 

I haven't had any trouble setting up Google Cloud.

I rate Google Cloud seven out of 10. 

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.

Our primary use case is for shared server storage.

The overall function of Google Cloud for storage is exactly what I am looking for.

I would like to see Google Cloud become more competitive when it comes to price.

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

The stability of Google Cloud is currently good.

I believe you have all the options to scale as you find it necessary.

I used AWS previously because we were required to compare it with Google Cloud.

I would rate Google Cloud an eight on a scale of one to ten.

We worked with Google Cloud to ensure HIPAA compliance approval in health insurance companies. At that moment, Azure didn't have those HIPAA compliances. When considering a solution, we have to see which one is compatible with that region and has everything.

We worked with Google Cloud to ensure HIPAA compliance approval in health insurance companies.

Google Cloud doesn't have Mac machines, but AWS and Azure Clouds have them. Google Cloud does not have many build pipelines like Azure does.

I have been using Google Cloud for three years.

I am satisfied with the solution’s technical support. From a learning perspective, I rate the solution's support an eight out of ten. I have gone through its learning, which is good, and become an architect. I have written emails to the support team and always got answers within two to three working days. Whenever I asked them questions, I always got the answers.

Positive

I did not find the solution's configuration to be very difficult. Since I know how to set up all the processes immediately, I can configure and set up Google Cloud within hours or days.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
