Provides great security and a good interface that works well with other applications
Pros and Cons
  • "From an availability perspective it's fantastic; from a security perspective it's fantastic."
  • "In the two years I've been using this solution, I haven't had a single minute of downtime."
  • "I think improvements can be made from a storage perspective and a cost perspective."

What is our primary use case?

I'm a manager in an Indian-based company and we are customers of Google. 

What is most valuable?

In the two years I've been using this solution, I haven't had a single minute of downtime. That is what's fantastic about the cloud. I know the product is very secure since there was an attempt at a cyber attack some months ago, and the attackers could not penetrate into the Google Cloud. They might be able to attack some on-prem applications but not these applications. From an availability perspective it's fantastic; from a security perspective it's fantastic. I like the interface, it works well with other applications.

What needs improvement?

I think improvements can be made from a storage perspective and a cost perspective. We're currently working on the application modernization and I think that the integration section of Google and the cloud could be simplified. Integration across various applications isn't always successful.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using this solution for over two years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is fantastic. We've been able to scale up and down as necessary. We have close to 450 users. I think we will probably extend it. Since the attempted attack, management is now of the opinion that it's best to migrate all the on-prem applications to cloud.

How are customer service and support?

I am satisfied with the technical support. We are in contact with Google's account manager in India and that works well. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was complex and the team struggled for a couple of weeks. That was two years ago and things have changed a lot since then. Initially we took on service from the supplier but now we have expert consultants who can manage anything on cloud.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated everything; AWS, Azure and Google. For various reasons, we settled on Google. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate this solution a nine out of 10. 

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

    • "It was a little more complicated when compared to Apple."

    What is our primary use case?

    Google Cloud Storage is primarily used for backing up my devices, to sync my photos and videos.

    What is most valuable?

    The performance is good.

    I haven't had any issues with the security of Google Cloud Storage.

    I use it on the phone the majority of the time. On the phone, I appreciate how seamless it is. You don't have to be concerned about it because it's thinking in the background.

    What needs improvement?

    It is difficult to say what could be improved because it works in the background for me.

    I haven't done much with it on a laptop, but when I first logged in, it was a little more complex than Apple. 

    It was a little more complicated when compared to Apple. However, I believe they have simplified it in the most recent version. But I haven't had much access to it in a long time.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have worked with Google Cloud Storage for three years.

    We always use the most recent version. My phone automatically updates.

    I will continue to use it on my own.

    How are customer service and support?

    I have not had to contact technical support. I have had no experience with them.

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

    I have worked with Enterprise Password Manager, Domain Name once or twice.

    How was the initial setup?

    My phone came with it pre-installed. In terms of installation, I didn't have to do anything. Everything was easy.

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

    In my opinion, it is well-priced. In general, it's fairly priced.

    Initially, I was working with the free version, now, I have updated to the paid version.

    I have paid for the first year, and it's reasonably priced for my needs.

    What other advice do I have?

    If you are on an Android platform, I would highly recommend it, but it depends on the ecosystem. However, if you're an Android user, I believe it's the most universal one for the device.
