Solution Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Cloud services have reduced on‑prem hardware costs and now support flexible microservices workloads
Regarding potential areas of improvement for Google Cloud, considering that they are providing 300 plus services, some services could be improved. For example, if I am facing some network troubleshooting issue in GKE in Google Cloud, I have to dig deeply and enable some special logs, such as flow logs. To enable that, it is chargeable. At least for basic services, they should give end-to-end support. In terms of end-to-end support, if I am purchasing one firewall from Google and using that firewall, all firewall-related services should be free. If I want to troubleshoot something deep and perform deep troubleshooting, you have to enable some additional logs. That is not that good. If I have to enable additional logs and want to store them into Google Cloud storage, which is similar to an S3 bucket, it is again chargeable. Those kinds of things should be given as part of the package. If you take firewall, all firewall-related logs, activities, and diagnostics everything should come as one package. If you want to do some deep analysis, you have to enable these logs, and for that you have to store them in the cloud storage, which is again chargeable. We should not have those kinds of things.Regarding additional costs, it can vary case by case. If I want to do deep analysis, I have to enable some logs, and for those logs, Google is charging. I am already paying for my virtual firewall from Google, and I am paying the cost for that. If I want to do some further troubleshooting and enable some low-level logs, they are charging for that. So these are the kinds of things I am talking about. To do very deep-level troubleshooting and enable additional logs, they will be charging. Not only Google, but all clouds are charging for this. Functionality-wise, Google Cloud is fine. In terms of virtual machine deployment or VM instance, the functionality is good.

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

"The performance is a valuable feature."
"It's easy to work with."
"The stability is good with Google Cloud."
"The customer service team for this solution is very knowledgeable."

"The solution's features are very good and our staff loves using them."
"I have found this solution to be a quick and advanced way to run my models through."
"The most valuable feature of the product is being able to test on multiple platforms for Oracle, for VMware, and so on."
"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
"The Oracle Java Cloud Service has enabled our developers to focus on what they do best: developing modern Java applications."
"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."
"Operational overhead and expenses have been reduced due to easy provisioning and decommissioning of dev/test environments."
"It is pretty easy to use."
"Fast, rapid and agile development and deployment of an ADF application (within Proof-of-Concept project) involves four developers in a distributed team (across two different time-zones) and through this they are able to cooperate quickly, without the usual problems of dev/test environment deployments."
 

Cons

"I would like to see some improvement in the accessibility features of this solution."
"My only concern is that a number of the offerings are built on their own proprietary technologies which means means that, with respect to the offerings in Google Cloud, it's difficult to have a path to migrate to other cloud providers."
"Google Cloud could improve the integration with other solutions."
"There are issues with stability. There may be capacity issues at the time but it's hard to guess what the root cause is."
"Google Cloud would benefit from more detailed practical hands-on training especially in your mother tongue, not just English."
"Google Cloud could be cheaper."
"When companies grow at a larger scale, they may shift to a different cloud services provider like AWS or Oracle."
"The ease-of-use could be improved for less technical users."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself."
"Some of the automated platform patches broke our existing functionality and we were not notified about it."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"It has been built on Java technology but requires more integration with other APIs and CI tools."
"The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution."
"Integration with Oracle products is well-supported. The same should be provided for other products that are used in most organizations, like PeopleSoft, CA, etc."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"I would like to see more monitors for standard edition"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as an eight."
"Google cloud is less expensive than other comparable solutions."
"The licensing cost is based on the capacity we use."
"Pricing for Google Cloud could be improved. It would be better if it were lower."
"The biggest problem with Google Cloud is price."
"It has a monthly subscription. The customers pay based on the usage."
"It's not really an expensive solution, but it would be better if there were more flexibility in the pricing model."
"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
"It is somewhat expensive."
"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."
