Saurav Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration with Kubernetes and flexibility improve our application deployment process
The logging could be improved; there's currently no intuitive way to filter logs on the Google console, especially for individuals who are not familiar with query languages. Our non-technical users find it difficult to access logs. Additionally, the user interface could be more user-friendly and intuitive compared to our previous experience with AWS ( /products/amazon-aws-reviews ).
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

"I like that it is free. It's easy to use, and it's reliable."
"It is stable. It is easy to learn and very straightforward."
"Google Meet is simple to use regarding configuration and recording sessions."
"The solution scales well."
"Google Cloud has low downtime."
"It's available any time you need it."
"It's easy to deploy Google Cloud."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud is its security."
"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c."
"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 auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."
"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
"The ability to manage security and access the server from any location with complete security using SSH is perfect for performing crucial tasks, even while travelling."
"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."
"The solution's technical support is good."
 

Cons

"Google Cloud lacks some tools for database migration. I've only used MySQL and AWS in my career, so those are the only ones I can compare. AWS has a database migration tool that you can integrate with a cloud backup, so can take that backup and restore it in the AWS public cloud, but it's not the same with Google Cloud."
"Monitoring and usage reporting could be improved."
"I would like to see an increase in storage with Google Cloud."
"I consider Azure more secure than Google and Amazon because of all its certifications, but Google is secure enough and improving."
"I would like to see more code generation features that enable you to take user input in simple English and automatically convert it to code."
"There is currently no intuitive way to filter logs on the Google console, especially for individuals who are not familiar with query languages."
"I cannot recall coming across any missing features."
"In terms of Google services, providing more hypervisors would be beneficial."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to Azure Cloud, Google Cloud is more expensive but it is okay."
"We approached Google Cloud with certain cost assumptions but were surprised to find that our actual expenses were higher than expected. Initially, we had anticipated spending a set amount on the solution, but in reality, we ended up spending more than that. It would be helpful to have greater transparency and educational documentation on the cost-related aspects of Google Cloud."
"It has a monthly subscription. The customers pay based on the usage."
"Licensing fees are paid monthly."
"I am not familiar with the pricing, but I would guess that it is probably cheaper than Microsoft Suite"
"Google offers a free account with minimal data backup and we can subscribe for more data."
"For the license, we didn't have to pay for any additional fees."
"The best part of Google Cloud is that it is cheaper than the competitors."
"It is somewhat expensive."
"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."
