Google Cloud Platform works better with Google Workspace, stable product but a bit complicated, especially the networking
We used Google Workspace, so all my employees have Google Workspace accounts. I initially wanted to use Google Cloud Platform for subscription compatibility. Google Cloud Platform works better with Google Workspace, but unfortunately, it's a bit complicated, especially the networking. Oracle Cloud's virtual network system is much easier and more flexible. Also, Oracle was cheaper. That's the main reason we chose Oracle Cloud.

Needs to be easier to configure and to display logs more simply
We use only it for scanning files for viruses. That's the only feature we use in this product It needs to be easier to configure, it should be something that's working well with other sources. It should be something that allows me to see the logs simply. One to three years. Sometimes it doesn't…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Since the solution works with Terraform, it makes Infrastructure as Code (IaC) easier."
"The solution has many features for stability and security."
"Scalability-wise, it is a great product."
"It is totally awesome in terms of scalability. Its scalability was the main reason for moving to Google Cloud. It also comes with a lot of features. We are satisfied with the features it has."
"If you have a good understanding of infrastructure, this solution is perfect."
"The solution's speed, processing power, and user functionality are some of its most valuable features."
"The solution can be used for building the infrastructure on the cloud."
"It is a stable solution."
"the security level is very high. After we tested it and checked all the security aspects of the product, we found that it's highly secure."
"It's easy to use over the web. A user who is not in the office can use it and securely insert files."
"If you want a very flexible system that you can easily integrate, and develop interfaces for it or plug-ins to other application environments, it's probably the most flexible"
"Safe-T is very good for users because it has plug-in for Outlook."
 

Cons

"The support can be more efficient. Google has different layers of support, like layer one, layer two, and layer three, but normally, the response from layer one is not very useful."
"The solution should be more user-friendly and should have descriptive manuals on the page website."
"The UI of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The hard part is creating the pack because our applications are in Azure Data Proxy, Data Fabric, and Data Factory. Our team used these tools in Azure, but in the future, they will transition to GCP."
"The product’s migration process could be easier to understand."
"The solution's security should be improved."
"We have some challenges related to purging the data. We get a lot of data on a daily basis that has to be refreshed on the site, but we are seeing some challenges with that. They can also include some third-party integration. We have one Akamai dependency. If they can come up with some API to talk to Akamai, it would be good."
"The solution should have better integration."
"One important thing that we haven't found in this product is the ability to provide a read-only view for documents. Also, the ability for the customer to add annotations to these documents."
"The Outlook agent is not working well for installing it in the entire office."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's costing model needs improvement."
"The customer purchases an annually sponsored license."
"My organization makes yearly payments towards the licensing charges attached to the tool."
"Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy is expensive."
"The licensing costs us $100,000 so pricing could be better."
"Compared to Oracle Cloud, especially with networking options (like VPN creation for free), Oracle Cloud offered better pricing."
"There are some costs attached to the licensing part of Google Cloud Platform, but it does not pose a challenge."
"When comparing the price of GCP to other solutions it provides more value for the money."
