What is our primary use case?
I use Google Drive Enterprise for my personal use. I back up my files, photos, and other information I have stored on my mobile device, as well as my daily tasks, or whatever is done on my computer are backed up on my drive.
What is most valuable?
Accessing their services is simple, user-friendly, and does not require a lot of technology.
Google Drive Enterprise is easy to use.
What needs improvement?
Personally, I can't say what I don't like about Google Drive Enterprise because I haven't discovered anything better.
The price could be lower.
When compared to Commvault or Veeam, I'm not sure what Google Drive has to offer in terms of backing up data on the cloud or in a data center for a large organization.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using Google Drive for personal use for nine to ten years, and I've been a premium user for the last two years.
I'm using the most recent version. I use the web version rather than the app.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Google Drive Enterprise is a stable product.
Google Drive's performance is one of my favorite features. It doesn't take long to load, and everything happens instantly.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I currently have more than 300 GB of data on my Google Drive. I don't believe that scaling would be an issue. It's easy to scale.
How are customer service and support?
We have never had any issues that required assistance from technical support.
How was the initial setup?
When using their web version, no setup is required. If I'm using an Android app, for example, I only need to configure my storage. In Google Drive, I have to define my storage and what I want to back up, and it backs it up ahead of time.
Because it's for personal use, I haven't had any issues with it, such as difficulty setting it up or anything like that. It's not like Veeam or a formal setup that requires many machines for that environment.
I am not using it on a large scale, it's for my personal usage only.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The licensing fees are not cheap, but when you compare it to other products and the features it provides, it's reasonable.
The costs could be lower, but they are reasonable for the value they provide.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
The management in my company has just decided to switch over to cloud backup solutions, which is why I have been researching the various websites for products that are best for my use.
I am exploring, but management will review the information and make a decision. I don't know what they're going to decide, so I don't have a say in it.
What other advice do I have?
My family does not have access to the credentials, but if they needed something backed up or saved, they would just give it to me to store safely on my cloud.
For personal use, I would definitely recommend this solution.
I would rate Google Drive Enterprise a ten out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
