Featured Reviews

Manimaran Tannimalai - PeerSpot reviewer
User interface consistency facilitates seamless project planning and design for specialized tasks
While Google has made efforts to address SAP loads, the company lacks a product specialist focus. They cover a broad range of products, which might affect their ability to compete well in certain niches. Google's strength lies in their adapted approach to specific tasks, as seen with SAP loads. Generally, their focus is widespread.
PriyankShrivastava - PeerSpot reviewer
A workhorse that enables high availability but support has room for improvement
There is always room for improvement. When a product is marketed, many claims are made, but in reality, it does not always perform as expected. The usability and real-time capabilities could be enhanced. The product can be difficult to use compared to how it is marketed. Technical support also lacks a timely response.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Google Cloud Storage is easy to use, and it's free. I also enjoy the speed I am able to share with family across the globe. The storage is synced."
"The performance is good."
"The solution is flexible and very user-friendly."
"It’s very stable."
"The solution is very flexible."
"Google Cloud Storage includes Docs, calendar, Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Meet."
"I have more than enough personal storage and have had no security issues."
"The solution's most valuable features are availability, feasibility, and reachability."
"One key feature is that you can make buckets private, requiring pre-authentication and using a specific URL for access. Additionally, the buckets are encrypted by default. The flexibility of public or private buckets and how you grant access are vital security features."
"We use it mostly in the cloud. It is stable, requires high availability, and works with large datasets seamlessly."
"The solution's most valuable features are its speed, unlimited space, and simplicity of use."

Cons

"I would like more storage available."
"Additional cost for more storage"
"I would also like to be able to use my own tools and packages within this solution and also have a tool to visualize the data with graphics."
"I don't find the solution very user-friendly."
"When compared to one of its competitors, Google Cloud Storage does not have or offer a lot of services to its users. So, this is one of the downsides of the solution."
"The cost of additional storage could be cheaper."
"It's actually quite complete and we don't have any issues with the solution."
"The solution is good, however, it would benefit from increased storage without the additional cost."
"Sometimes, there are glitches with applying policies. Even when the policy is correct, it might not work consistently. We need to troubleshoot to see if it's a user error or if the policy itself needs adjustment. It usually works after refreshing, but that inconsistency is a minor complexity."
"I could not find a load balancer in OCI similar to the support provided by Microsoft Azure and AWS."
"The first time setup for Oracle Cloud Object Storage is a little bit complex, but after implementation, there is no complexity."
"The usability and real-time capabilities could be enhanced."
"The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks."
"The product can be difficult to use compared to how it is marketed. Technical support also lacks a timely response."
"Cost-wise, it is not an affordable tool if you allocate space, and try to use it some other day."
"Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license needed to use Google Cloud Storage at our university."
"It provides a very limited amount of storage because it's free."
