Monitoring solution enhances cost efficiency with good internal tools
In terms of Google services, providing more hypervisors would be beneficial. Currently, in my region, they don't offer many services as they have just started. They have some local instances, yet improvements are needed in the tools and offers provided to customers. I currently only use, for example, a native hybrid. VMware is not available, and other hypervisors are still not there. They need to wait on that.
Adam Elguennioui - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers flexibility and better accessibility to users
The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution. When working with a cloud tool, it's never 100 percent secure and it is always something to take into account. I would like to be more comfortable working with it and feeling safer. In the future, the tool can be made faster. In the future, I would like to see maybe some AI features in the tool to help automate stuff. You need to be able to create your own models to help create some automated actions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"For us, the solution is very easy to use. We have the right skillsets for it."
"It is a stable solution."
"I like that it is free. It's easy to use, and it's reliable."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud is its security."
"This platform is popular with technical users because of the abilities for customization and fine-tuning performance."
"Google Cloud is very user-friendly."
"I have found almost everything valuable. Most cloud products are moving in this direction, including artificial intelligence, blockchain, and security."
"Cloud has provided less maintenance."
"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The framework supports auto-configuration. A lot of features are already there. It is reliable and user-friendly to develop code, back-end engineering, or locate specific information such as addresses."
"Backing up and recovery for my domain is very easy and fast. In addition, applying patches and undoing applied patches is effective and easy to do."
"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
"It is pretty easy to use."
"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."
 

Cons

"Microsoft's solution is more common, Google Cloud could improve by being more compatible with different platforms or entities."
"Technical support needs help."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"The storage available for this solution could be improved, especially compared to a solution like Microsoft which offers 1 TB of storage. Google cloud offers only 30 GB."
"The Notes application could be better."
"Google is slower to support .NET."
"The product could be improved by expanding the initial storage space available."
"Google Cloud could improve by having better integration with other platforms."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself. For example, how do we add more storage, how do we extend a specific portion? I would like to see videos illustrating some of the technical tasks that we often need to do."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The biggest problem with Google Cloud is price."
"The solution is cheaper than Azure."
"The cost might be $10 a month per user, which is about $300 a month in total."
"Google offers a free account with minimal data backup and we can subscribe for more data."
"The price of the solution could be better."
"The licensing cost is based on the capacity we use."
"The pricing is rated a six out of ten."
"Google Cloud should be divided into modules so that users can buy which module will satisfy them. The overall price of Google Cloud should be reduced, Microsoft is a little bit cheaper. However, if Google divided the cloud offering it would be better. For example, if someone wants to use only for OneDrive they should be able to purchase the service separately, it would reduce the price. There is a license required to use this solution for enterprises. There is a free account, which the users can increase the size of the space. Google cloud is used in most Android Mobile device operating systems."
"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
"Oracle is a little more expensive right now, but not much compared to SAP. Oracle's prices are very much dependent on the scale of the project and how many users are there."
"It is somewhat expensive."
