Good UI and easy to navigate between projects and manage logs
Pros and Cons
  • "UI representation is the aspect I like the most about GCP, even more than Azure or AWS."
  • "Sometimes we face uncertainty when our internet connection gets disconnected. It becomes challenging to determine whether it's an issue with our internet or if the GCP has crashed."

What is most valuable?

There are so many things I like about this solution. It's hard to name just one, but I particularly love its user interface. 

Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy has effectively gathered all the necessary elements there. You can easily navigate between projects and manage logs. The navigation panel allows you to switch between different services or centers, helping you figure out the available logs and configure them. 

UI representation is the aspect I like the most about GCP, even more than Azure or AWS.

What needs improvement?

There are still many aspects I need to explore. However, there is room for improvement in terms of stability. Sometimes we face uncertainty when our internet connection gets disconnected. It becomes challenging to determine whether it's an issue with our internet or if the GCP SDP has crashed. We encounter such errors, but it's difficult to understand the cause. That's why I it is room for improvement, according to me.

In future releases, I would like to see a free version available for students and for those logging in as intermediates or beginners. 

For how long have I used the solution?

For one of my projects that required deployment and CI/CD, we utilized GCP. It was mainly a DevOps-oriented task unrelated to my development work.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It was a stable solution. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It was a scalable solution. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is okay. 

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

There are a few things that are available for students' free tier. However, for students, the entire platform should ideally be free. 

And it's not just limited to students; even some professionals who need to learn GCP, AWS, or Azure should have free access as partners. 

However, I do understand that there should be charges when professionals create their accounts under the professional category. But for those logging in as intermediates or beginners, it should be available for free. It would be a valuable addition.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.
