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 ).
Joseph Daniel - PeerSpot reviewer
Scalable and flexible platform with significant challenges related to complexity, cost management, and the need for skilled personnel
There are a couple of significant challenges we're currently facing. First, our production team can't make use of the production planning features, as they require a Professional license and we only have access to the Logistics license, which is limiting our capabilities. The majority of the reports we generate are intended for managerial purposes. While most reports are straightforward to comprehend, there are a few exceptions that can be quite complex. It would be beneficial to have access to real-time data from our machines. This is crucial for monitoring all activities within our manufacturing processes, from software operations to the machinery used.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Google Cloud performs well."
"It is a stable solution."
"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."
"It's available any time you need it."
"It's easy to work with."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"We worked with Google Cloud to ensure HIPAA compliance approval in health insurance companies."
"The availability of content on the solution is very valuable."
"The modules, like the accounting and procurement modules, especially the finance and accounting modules, are quite impressive in the solution."
"With the tool, there is no shutdown or breakdown time my company experiences."
"I believe the solution is very stable."
"Technical support from SAP is great."
"Setting up Business One is straightforward. It took us about three months to deploy Business One on AWS."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup is manageable."
"The production and planning processes of the solution are very good."
 

Cons

"Sometimes the Google documents are difficult to learn from. Amazon has better support material."
"I think one area that could be improved in Google Cloud is the customer support. Sometimes the integration process can be a bit complex due to format errors.Also having clearer documentation or a larger support team could really help users like me understand and resolve issues more effectively."
"The ease-of-use could be improved for less technical users."
"The privacy could be improved so that it is more secure."
"There are issues with stability."
"I would like to see Google Cloud become more competitive when it comes to price."
"There are some areas where Google Cloud could be improved. Specifically, they are not well-aligned with right-to-left languages like Hebrew and Arabic. We encounter numerous issues when we use documents that mix right-to-left languages with left-to-right languages, such as Hebrew and English. This lack of alignment creates significant problems. Considering more than 400 million Arabic speakers, this is a central area where improvements would be beneficial."
"The security of the solution can always be improved."
"It would be better if the solution was on a cloud infrastructure."
"The solution has a feature that shows you the purchase order that you put on a project and requires you to approve it to be applied to the project, but it doesn't let you move the purchase order to another project. That would be a great feature to have, because if you don't approve it, you have to delete everything and make it again."
"The technical support from SAP is very restricted to its knowledge base. It does not add much beyond what is already available in the knowledge base."
"There are limitations of SAP Business One. It's a complex topic, and exploring options like SAP HANA is challenging at the moment. Understanding the limitations of ERP requires thorough research. I suggest conducting some preliminary investigations into ERP products before making a decision. We chose SAP Business One as it caters to SMEs like ours, acknowledging and accepting its limitations. While a larger product exists, switching would entail budget considerations due to the ongoing implementations. Therefore, the current situation with SAP Business One is not a matter of concern."
"The interface needs to be improved. It needs to be more user-friendly."
"It would be beneficial to have access to real-time data from our machines."
"There is some room for improvement with the scalability and the pricing of the product."
"Not a ten because it's not software for a structured company or something very big. That is my impression."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution could be better."
"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."
"Pricing is high compared to other solutions."
"The best part of Google Cloud is that it is cheaper than the competitors."
"Pricing for Google Cloud could be improved. It would be better if it were lower."
"The service is cheap and I give it a seven out of ten for the cost."
"We pay for a license."
"Licensing fees are paid monthly."
"The tool's cost is reasonable."
"We have an annual cost for licensing and storage in AWS."
"The tool has better pricing models than S/4 HANA."
"The product's license is expensive. It could be cheaper."
"The product is moderately priced."
"Licenses are available on a monthly or yearly basis, and it costs about $1,200 per license, per user."
"There is an annual licensing fee, and it changes once you add or remove users. The solution is on the upper-end side and expensive."
"The price of the limited version is about 70,000 Pesos ($2,900 USD), and the professional version is about double at 140,000 Pesos ($5,800 USD)."
