Comprehensive range of resources and highly scalable solution
Pros and Cons
  • "The latest versions of the managed Kubernetes clusters are good."
  • "Despite using GCP for all the resources, potential clusters on GCP caused difficulties."

What is our primary use case?

We use GCP for many resources, including Google Kubernetes cluster (GK), monitoring with Stackdriver and Work Explorer, Cloud Insight, Cloud Storage for backup, Container Registry, VPC, complete VM, Memory Store, and Redis. We also use Robitankyo and the message query.

What is most valuable?

For me, the most valuable feature is JKS and Kubernetes Cluster on managed service. Moreover, the latest versions of the managed Kubernetes clusters are good. 

What needs improvement?

There is room for improvement. For instance, we encountered some issues with a potential cluster on GCP last month. Although we use GCP for all our resources, we experienced some difficulties. So, I think this aspect needs to be addressed and improved upon. And from what I can tell, GCP is working on addressing this issue.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate the scalability of the solution an eight out of ten. 

How are customer service and support?

We used global IT for the support. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

 I'm working with GCP, managing approximately 15 GCP clusters on Kubernetes. I have strong experience with Google Cloud and am a solution architect on AWS.

Functions well with good features
Pros and Cons
  • "Functions well and has good features."
  • "Google is not well supported in France."

What is our primary use case?

Our use case is to plug platforms, especially applications that are 
based on website micro services such as containers. 

What is most valuable?

From our perspective this is a good solution that functions well and has good features. 

What needs improvement?

We are based in France and it's difficult to find people with sufficient training to assist us. I'd like to see companies with the right level of expertise to help my customers to move their projects from the traditional information system or infrastructures on premise to cloud but it's very difficult to find that here. Google is not well supported in France. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was not so easy. The average deployment time is between one and two years. It requires an initial feasibility study to understand the scope. Once that's established you need to find the path to help set up the right security parameters. The migration is done through scripting and codes. The deployment requires project managers and engineers.

What other advice do I have?

I recommend this solution but it's important to find the right partner and be sure you have a suitable use case. I rate this solution eight out of 10.

Stable and scalable
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is stable."
  • "As with AWS, the solution is easy to install."
  • "The solution should have better integration."
  • "The solution should have better integration."

What needs improvement?

The solution should have better integration. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is up to par. 

How was the initial setup?

As with AWS, the solution is easy to install. 

50 or 60 days are needed for the deployment. 

What about the implementation team?

Around three or four people are needed for the deployment and maintenance. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The customer purchases an annually sponsored license. 

What other advice do I have?

We have a maximum of around 20 customers making use of the solution. 

We support Azure, AWS and Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy, depending on the customer's architecture.

Provides more control of assets but needs to improve technical support
Pros and Cons
  • "Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy provides more control of our assets because normally when you're using Google Cloud, you have to use your Google email. IAP can control the assets that only come from the dedicated company or IP address."
  • "Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy provides more control of our assets because normally when you're using Google Cloud, you have to use your Google email."
  • "The support can be more efficient. Google has different layers of support, like layer one, layer two, and layer three, but normally, the response from layer one is not very useful."
  • "If you are talking about virtual machines, our customers would say that this solution is not so stable because sometimes Google Cloud has host errors."

What is most valuable?

Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy provides more control of our assets because normally when you're using Google Cloud, you have to use your Google email. IAP can control the assets that only come from the dedicated company or IP address.

It's a scalable solution that is easy to install as well.

What needs improvement?

The support can be more efficient. Google has different layers of support, like layer one, layer two, and layer three, but normally, the response from layer one is not very useful.

Google is not very capable when it comes to patching vulnerabilities. It would be nice if they could improve this security issue or CVE.

The stability needs to be improved for some services.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using it for around five months because I just joined this company.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

If you are talking about virtual machines, our customers would say that this solution is not so stable because sometimes Google Cloud has host errors. We haven't been able to get a good explanation from Google regarding this.

If you're using Kubernetes, it's quite stable, but if you are using VM, the system will typically reboot at least once every three months.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's quite scalable.

How are customer service and technical support?

If I ranked technical support from one to five, with five being the highest score, I would rank it at around three.

Technical support could be more efficient. Google has different layers of support, like layer one, layer two, and layer three, and the response from layer one is not very useful.

How was the initial setup?

The installation should be easy.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this product because with Google Cloud Platform, you can do a lot of applications that you cannot do with AWS. AWS is more useful for developers because it has moved from general usage.

I would rate Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy at six on a scale from one to ten because it still needs some improvements.

Flexible, scalable, and easy to use
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is very easy to use. It's easy to navigate and to work with."
  • "Its capabilities have been very good overall and we've been very happy with it."
  • "The solution could be more reasonably priced. We find it to be a bit expensive right now."
  • "The solution could be more reasonably priced. We find it to be a bit expensive right now."

What is our primary use case?

I've been using Google virtual machines, Google FUSE. It has many, many products across the entire cloud platform. GCP can be used for data storage and for virtual machine creation.

What is most valuable?

It has some stack of products in it that I have found quite useful.

The solution is very easy to use. It's easy to navigate and to work with.

It's quite a flexible product.

We've found the solution to be scalable. 

What needs improvement?

The product is great. I can't think of a way it can be improved. There aren't any missing features. It's quite complete.

The solution could be more reasonably priced. We find it to be a bit expensive right now.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for about a year or so. It hasn't been very long just yet.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of the solution is very good. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so with relative ease. It's not hard at all.

I'm not sure how many users in total are on it in our organization. It might be between ten to 20 people or so. There aren't too many people on it currently.

I plan to continue to use it going forward. I can't speak to the company's plans for if it, and that includes increasing usage or not.

How are customer service and technical support?

I've never had the chance to reach out to technical support, and therefore can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are. I cannot evaluate them having had no direct interactions with them.

How was the initial setup?

There isn't really an installation process for this solution. It's on the cloud. You don't need to implement anything. It's all just ready to go.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution could be cheaper. Right now, it's a bit expensive.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We've looked at the Oracle Cloud Platform and Amazon AWS and both services are good.

What other advice do I have?

We're always using the latest version of the solution. It's always the latest as we are on the cloud deployment model and it auto-updates.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. Its capabilities have been very good overall and we've been very happy with it.

I'd recommend the solution to other users and organizations. It's worked well for us.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Runs our server production and the hardware doesn't need maintenance
Pros and Cons
  • "We do not need to maintain the hardware."
  • "We only use what we need to put in the application to create a server, and we do not need to maintain the hardware."
  • "I think this product needs to shift the focus from our software, our solution, like social media analytics to our customers; not maintenance in the hardware."
  • "We have to pay to use technical support. There are a lot of charges."

What is our primary use case?

We use it for software social media analytics. That software can call social media like Facebook, Instagram, and news online media. We call them and put them in the container. And then we analyze the data and display it on the dashboard. We use the GCP to run our server production.

What is most valuable?

We only use what we need to put in the application to create a server. We do not need to maintain the hardware. 

What needs improvement?

I think this product needs to shift the focus from our software, our solution, like social media analytics to our customers; not maintenance in the hardware. We focus on our business for the maintenance and infrastructure to develop the software. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We use it to up the server like the compute engine. For the compute engine, we just put the CPU with what I need, and then storage capacity what I need, and then just click, and it runs. We don't use it yet to have integration with other platforms or systems. 

We don't get any bugs in the software.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We do have plans to increase usage when our client base increases, we will increase the capacity, like the storage and the compute. Maybe in a year or two. 

How are customer service and technical support?

We used to contact support to handle our problems at the beginning of our implementation. We're not so experienced with the system so we need their guidance. We are satisfied with the support. We have to pay to use technical support. There are a lot of charges. We open the ticket and then have to pay for it. It shouldn't be like that. We use the infrastructure and then we pay. We just input them for the system, we do not have to pay again.

How was the initial setup?

The setup is of medium complexity. It is not too difficult, it is medium level to operate GCP.

It took only two days to set up the server. The server itself took three hours. Three hours to set up the server and then the deployment. We built the system over a long time. But to deploy we set the infrastructure like the server, firewall, in the GCP. It took five hours to deploy.

We deployed it ourselves.  

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend GCP. We will focus to develop our system, our product, and it's a matter of whether or not the infrastructure can handle GCP.

I would rate it an eight out of ten. 

In the next release, I would like to see a machine learning system.
