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 ).

Exceptional speed improves performance with short and long-term storage

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The automatic sync between my mobile device data and photos to the cloud is the most valuable feature."
"It's easy to deploy Google Cloud."
"The solution scales well."
"What I like most about Google Cloud is its stability. I also like that its GUI works fine for my company."
"It's easy to work with."
"The solution can scale."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The stability is good with Google Cloud."
"Pure Storage has the highest Net Promoter Score in the market."
"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."
"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 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."
"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

"I would like to see Google Cloud become more competitive when it comes to price."
"I feel that the Google product is incomplete with regard to internal communications. It is an area that needs some improvement."
"I cannot recall coming across any missing features."
"The UI is beautiful but not easy to use, and also a little slow. Anything that you click is slow to load. It is also not easy to find something. I do not find the left-hand side menu good. We have a lot of options mixed there and we need the best way to deploy cloud resources. I prefer Azure ARM templates since their JSON files are easy to manipulate and integrate with other tools."
"The Notes application could be better."
"I consider Azure more secure than Google and Amazon because of all its certifications, but Google is secure enough and improving."
"Google Cloud should improve its security. The main challenge we've encountered is related to security. As a member of the security team, I've noticed some limitations in the security features. For example, the rules and signatures need to be more refined to detect and process attacks accurately."
"I would like for this solution to improve its user interface and documentation."
"I'm not sure if any improvements are needed."
"To me, I think it's a little expensive. Then again, you get what you pay for."
"The only potential drawback is that Pure Storage might be overkill if you don't need microsecond response times."
"It would be nice to have support in Swedish."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The biggest problem with Google Cloud is price."
"Google cloud is less expensive than other comparable solutions."
"Google Cloud could be cheaper."
"It has a monthly subscription. The customers pay based on the usage."
"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."
"They provide user-based licensing plans. Its plan could be less expensive."
"The cost might be $10 a month per user, which is about $300 a month in total."
"For the license, we didn't have to pay for any additional fees."
"The pricing is very good."
