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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature is ease of use."
"It's easy to use."
"The feature we've found most valuable is the ability to access our data anywhere, anytime."
"It is flexible and simple to use."
"Its performance and security features are valuable."
"From an availability perspective it's fantastic; from a security perspective it's fantastic."
"We are mostly doing telephony and generic web services in the telephony."
"It's very practical and reliable."
"The Evergreen program is excellent, and the pricing is quite reasonable. My friends who work there are doing very well and consistently achieving strong results. Like any company, they experience occasional downturns but perform impressively overall."
"Pure Storage has the highest Net Promoter Score in the market."
"We have snapshots. We put snapshots on disks, and we can save information. In the case of ransomware, everything is in the snapshot. We have a snapshot lock on it, so it's safe."
"The speed of the product is quite a bit better in performance than the previous environment we were running on, and it seems to have a better feature set."
"The speed of the product is quite a bit better in performance than the previous peer environment we were running on, and it seems to have a better feature set."
 

Cons

"Google Cloud Storage could improve by being more user-friendly."
"Sometimes, I'm not too fond of privacy policies, especially when using certain features like Gemini AI, where agreeing to the terms might mean losing access to your history. One area for improvement is document retrieval—sometimes, it's hard to find documents because the file names aren't always recognizable, and the preview feature could be more efficient. Maintenance for Google Cloud Storage is minimal, but it would be helpful to have a tool that automatically removes duplicate versions of files to save space. The file management in Google Cloud and Workspace isn't very straightforward, which could be improved."
"It would be helpful to offer more packages to increase the storage."
"Google Cloud Storage could improve by increasing the storage from 15 GB. If I want to have more storage I need to pay extra money."
"A lower cost, lower-end solution for a shared file system is missing."
"I do not find any areas needing improvement currently."
"It's actually quite complete and we don't have any issues with the solution."
"One area for product improvement would be better synchronization across regions."
"The only potential drawback is that Pure Storage might be overkill if you don't need microsecond response times."
"To me, I think it's a little expensive. Then again, you get what you pay for."
"I'm not sure if any improvements are needed."
"Many customers report that the starting price is quite high. However, the overall total cost of ownership can be reduced over time due to features like the Evergreen architecture, which allows savings through less management and environmental benefits."
"It would be nice to have support in Swedish."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Approximately 800 to 1,000 USD is paid towards the licensing costs of the solution. The solution is neither expensive nor cheap, meaning it is moderately priced. There are no extra costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution."
"I use the free version and have never paid for any extra storage. I have been able to manage in whatever free spaces are given."
"It provides a very limited amount of storage because it's free."
"Its price is fine."
"Regarding the cost of the solution, Google offers its users a pay-as-you-go model pricing."
"The solution comes with a cost once a person has exceeded a certain limit."
"I pay monthly for Google Cloud Storage. It could be cheaper, but for now, it's okay."
"There are no licensing fees."
