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

"The app provides ready-made services that we can talk to without issue."
"The initial setup wasn't too difficult."
"The solution's speed, processing power, and user functionality are some of its most valuable features."
"The solution is easy to install and use."
"The solution is stable."
"Since the solution works with Terraform, it makes Infrastructure as Code (IaC) easier."
"I like Google Cloud IAP because it is easy to use and stable."
"The solution has many features for stability and security."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"The product’s migration process could be easier to understand."
"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 storage capacity of the product is an area that can be improved if it is made possible to increase it whenever you want."
"The product is expensive. Its price needs improvement."
"Sometimes, it just fails to get some documents, and then it resumes normally. Google should work to enhance the overall features of the solution."
"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."
"I think this product needs to shift the focus from our software, our solution, like social media analytics to our customers; not maintenance in the hardware."
"Google Cloud Platform is not a product that is very flexible for end-users, especially owing to the fact that there is not much documentation available for the product."
"The Outlook agent is not working well for installing it in the entire office."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs. It is an expensive and premium solution."
"Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy is expensive."
"The customer purchases an annually sponsored license."
"Its price is good. For each server, we are saving $300 a month. We have at least thousands of servers. It is a huge cost reduction for us."
"Compared to Oracle Cloud, especially with networking options (like VPN creation for free), Oracle Cloud offered better pricing."
"The solution is inexpensive for personal use."
"There are some costs attached to the licensing part of Google Cloud Platform, but it does not pose a challenge."
"Google Cloud Platform is cheaper than Microsoft Exchange."
