Share your experience using Google Cloud Billing

We use Google Cloud Billing to pay for or renew the license of our Google Workspace products.

Google Cloud Billing should have a more user-friendly interface.

I have been working with Google Cloud Billing for more than five years.

Google’s customer support is very good.

Google Cloud Billing is a cloud-based solution.

Only administrators, directors, and the finance or marketing departments can access Google Cloud Billing.

Overall, I rate Google Cloud Billing a nine out of ten.

We are using the solution for development and testing purposes only. We are using it for cloud cost management. 

We are using Google Cloud instances and Google Cloud Functions, which are great. Cloud Functions we started using recently. We've been using BigQuery, Pub/Sub, and Firebase. There are quite a few services that we are using.

It's helpful for cost management. 

The solution is very simple to set up. 

It is a stable product.

The only issue I faced was a while ago. My card was debited, or rather it was showing as debited when in actuality, it did not debit my card. After six months, they came back with back billing. 

Somebody should have verified the billing and immediately informed us. So yeah, However, six months is too late to identify such fault sightings.

When I want to analyze the information, it would be better, since Google knows what I have used, to only show those items for analysis purposes. Especially when I look at a previous month's billing or usage across services. It's better to show the services which are used, not everything.

I've been using the solution for four years. 

The stability is great. We haven't had any issues. I'd rate it ten out of ten. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

I'm not sure how well it scales. Right now, I'm having issues with automatic billing. 

We only have one person on the solution right now. 

I've dealt with technical support in the past. I've been satisfied with the level of service I've received in the past. 

Positive

We are not using AWS cost management. However, we are aware of it. We only use Google Cloud Billing right now.

For us, the setup was simple. The billing situation, however, was a bit complicated. They merged two or three accounts into one billing. Sometimes it's difficult to understand which account refers to which project when working with more than one customer.

The billing process is strange. It should be automatic. However, we've had issues, and I need to remember to go in and manually pay the bill monthly.

We are a customer and end-user. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. We've been pretty happy with it in general.
