dashboards are good and data visualization is more meaningful for the end-user

Access is always via URL, and unless your network is fast, it would be a little tough in India. In India, if we had a faster network, it would be easier. In a big data environment, like when forcing your database with over a billion records, it can be tough for the end-user to manage the data. You need to have a single entity system in each environment. It's not because of GCP, but it would be great to have options like MongoDB or other similar tools in GCP. Then, we wouldn't always need to connect to the cloud and execute SQL queries. Even if your application is always connected to its database, the processing can be cumbersome. It shouldn't be so complicated. Once the data is collected, it should be easily sorted.

Cons

"Even if your application is always connected to its database, the processing can be cumbersome. It shouldn't be so complicated."

"There is room for improvement in the graphical user interface. So that the initial user would use it properly, that would be a good option."

"The interface should be more user-friendly."

"We have also encountered challenges during our transition period in terms of data control and segmentation. The management of each channel and data structure as it has its own unique characteristics requires very detailed and precise control. The allocation should be appropriate and the complexity increases due to the different time zones and geographic locations of our clients. The process usually involves migrating the existing database sets to gcp and ensure data integrity is maintained. This is the only challenge that we faced while navigating the integers of the solution and honestly it was an interesting and unique experience."

"Connectivity challenges for end-users, particularly when loading data, environments, and libraries, need to be addressed for an enhanced user experience."

"The product must be made more user-friendly."

"Virtualization could be much better."

"The user interface of the solution needs improvement. It needs to be more visual."

"The solution is much more complex than other options."

"The visualization of the models is not very attractive, so the graphics should be improved."

"Price of the product"

"The initial setup is challenging if doing it for the first time."

"Technical support could be improved."

"The product must provide better integration with cloud-native technologies."

"The pricing is quite reasonable, and I would give it a rating of four out of ten."

"It is affordable for us because we have a limited number of users."

"The product is cheap."

"The solution must improve its licensing models."

"This solution is for large corporations because not everybody can afford it."

"The solution is expensive for an individual, but for an enterprise/institution (purchasing bulk licenses), it is not a high price for the use that will come from it."
