The solution is stable, free, and easy to use

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution for emails, reminders, and other personal work. I am a service engineer, and I use the solution alone.

What is most valuable?

I like that the solution has high availability and is stable and free. Likewise, the interface is quite good.

Provides intuitive dashboards and easy server access
Pros and Cons
  • "It is a stable solution."
  • "We encounter issues while setting up emails for the solution."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for continuous integration and deployment of applications on databases.

What is most valuable?

The solution's most valuable features are Google domains, UI setup, easy server access, and intuitive dashboards.

What needs improvement?

The solution's naming conventions feature needs improvement. We encounter issues while setting up emails as well. They should improve this particular area. Also, they should integrate the solution with more applications.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for six months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution's stability is good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have five solution users in our organization. It is expensive to scale up the solution.

How was the initial setup?

The solution's initial setup was fine. However, it took a lot of work to name the features. The process involves setting up the server, connecting to the gateway, and setting up user access and security codes.

What about the implementation team?

The implementation of the solution was done natively on the platform.

What was our ROI?

The solution generates a good return on investment.

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

We pay for the solution’s compute engine every month.

It's flexible and the price is reasonable
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features of Google Cloud Platform are the Kubernetes engine, CI/CD, and BigQuery."
  • "The hard part is creating the pack because our applications are in Azure Data Proxy, Data Fabric, and Data Factory. Our team used these tools in Azure, but in the future, they will transition to GCP."

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of Google Cloud Platform are the Kubernetes engine, CI/CD, and BigQuery. 

What needs improvement?

Apigee is a good feature because we analyzed and changed the computer-associated AP to Apigee. We compared the features and created the clusters to change the solution to Apigee. It's a good option on the Google Cloud Platform. And I like BigQuery, which is a fantastic database on the SaaS model. The hard part is creating the pack because our applications are in Azure Data Proxy, Data Fabric, and Data Factory. Our team used these tools in Azure, but in the future, they will transition to GCP.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Google Cloud Platform for one year.

How are customer service and support?

Google support is outstanding. It's effortless to contact Google engineers, who are all Brazilians. The work is well explained, and they participate in our technical meetings. 

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

I think the price of Google Cloud Platform is reasonable. However, Microsoft is the most cost-effective solution for us because of Azure's integration. And we already have licenses for Windows Server and the databases, so the price is attractive. And the price of AWS is higher, but we have only two big applications on the AWS. Still, I like Google so much, and my company thinks GCP is the best way to handle our workloads.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Google Cloud Platform nine out of 10. I like the GCP so much because it's flexible. We have tools for similar tech drivers, and we can connect them in the other clouds, where I use the Anthos platform. I created an Anthos platform for similar tech drivers to administer all of the different cloud solutions on the same platform. So, for example, I can put the comments on Cloud Shell and create a resource in the other clouds.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Google

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."
  • "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."

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."
  • "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?
