Saurav Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Technology Manager at Publicis Sapient
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.
Adam Elguennioui - PeerSpot reviewer
SAP Consultant at SA&BC
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

"Google Cloud is user friendly and reliable. The most valuable feature is the security of Google Cloud."
"Google Cloud performs well."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"The solution works well for BigQuery and big data analysis support such as column alerts and tabular databases."
"One of the major benefits they have is high quality."
"I like that it is free. It's easy to use, and it's reliable."
"Regarding Google Cloud's data analytics features, I find the presentation of information and the ability to move and transform data to be the most valuable. As for machine learning capabilities, they are helpful, especially in detecting anomalies or outliers in our data. For instance, Google Cloud can identify unusual network behavior and provide recommendations on how to address or leverage these findings effectively."
"It's easy to deploy next-generation applications on Google Cloud. Customers can also use various cloud tools to optimize their operations and generate more insights to do business much smarter."
"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 auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"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."
"It is pretty easy to use."
"Cloud has provided less maintenance."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"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."
"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c."
 

Cons

"I would like to see an increase in storage with Google Cloud."
"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."
"I would like to see Google Cloud become more competitive when it comes to price."
"They need to improve the costing for predictive analytics, which is mainly related to the tools that come with AI. They also need to improve the BigQuery cost optimization and the visualization."
"Google Cloud could improve by having better integration with other platforms."
"They could integrate artificial intelligence into the applications."
"Microsoft's solution is more common, Google Cloud could improve by being more compatible with different platforms or entities."
"The analytics that they have are very focused. It serves Google and not really the client."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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 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."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as an eight."
"We use the NGO version so the cloud reasonably priced at $2 to $3 per month."
"I don't pay for the license. For me, it's completely free."
"This solution is worth the money we are paying. I would rate the pricing a three out of five."
"The cost might be $10 a month per user, which is about $300 a month in total."
"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."
"Pricing for Google Cloud could be improved. It would be better if it were lower."
"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."
"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
