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.

What is our primary use case?
I use the solution for Google Home. All my switches are connected to Google Home, allowing me to control everything online.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease with which one can use it.
What needs improvement?
The stability regarding voice commands in the solution has certain shortcomings that need improvement.

I have been using the solution for nearly fifteen years. I use the solution's latest version.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution.
In my company, there are three people who use the product.
Currently, my company does not plan to increase the usage of the solution.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of the solution is straightforward.
The solution can be deployed in less than 30 minutes.
You just need to connect everything to an application named Google Home via Wi-Fi, with some Wi-Fi routers in place to increase the strength of the signals to all the rooms during the solution's deployment phase.
What about the implementation team?
The solution's installation phase can be carried out with the help of an in-house team or person from our company.
What was our ROI?

The monthly payments made towards the licensing cost of the solution are not expensive.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
During the evaluation phase, I came across a product named Amazon Alexa. I chose Google Cloud Platform over Amazon Alexa since I use a lot of Google products, like Google Chromecast and a few others. I use a Google Pixel Phone, so I thought I would stick with products from Google.
What other advice do I have?
I don't require any technical assistance with the maintenance part of the solution since I am able to do it by myself.
Google is very user-friendly and easy to use, but one should make sure that one doesn't keep everything open to track one's activities. I would prefer the tracking part of the solution to be switched off or disabled. I disable all the features in the solution that helps Google to track my activities.
I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

Provides an identity portal for our applications and is a reliable solution
Pros and Cons
- "If you have a good understanding of infrastructure, this solution is perfect."
- "The integration of the solution for patching, updating, and installing the updates could be better."
What is our primary use case?
For Google Cloud Platform (GCP), we use it as our infrastructure. We host our infrastructures and create our machines, services and automation pipelines. For Google Cloud Identity, we use it as an identity portal for all of our applications. In addition, the internal application for the tools is used for monitoring the product.
What is most valuable?
The Cloud Identity in GCP is very good and reliable. It can be published fast. Also, Google Cloud Identity allows you to create groups and give access by group instead of by user. It allows you to create different access policies for every component of new infrastructure, and from a security perspective, this is good.
What needs improvement?
The Google Cloud UI has a lot of bugs, and they are working on enhancing it. There are a lot of things that need to be enhanced. For example, sometimes, the snapshot portal makes you have a schedule to create multiple snapshots when you have a huge infrastructure hosted on Google Cloud. Sometimes the browser or the UI hangs when looking for a specific snapshot. Also, Google Cloud support responds very quickly, but the UI still needs to have more enhancements related to the performance.
The integration of the solution for patching, updating, and installing the updates could be better. For example, they have a solution called "always patching," which needs to be enhanced. It is not purely a SaaS solution. It should be mostly platform as a solution, not software.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using this solution for more than two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution. However, it would be more stable if Google cared more about the UI.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution. Most of the teams in our company use this solution. The number of people needed for deployment and maintenance depends on whether it is a small or medium company solution. Only one person is needed for a small environment, while two or three are required for a medium environment. The team that supports the solution comprises network and security people. We plan to increase our usage of the solution as our customer base increases.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support is good, and they are very responsive. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I personally have used Azure and AWS in the past.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was easy, and it was just plug-and-play. If you have a good understanding of infrastructure, this solution is perfect. It allows us to build an entire infrastructure for a startup or medium company in one hour. To do this, we need to try the script with the machines we need. Next, we need to define the CPU, memory and application we want to install on the machine. Then we can click and run the playbook or the tier forms script and go back after hours. By then, everything has been created, and we'll have an infrastructure that can handle a small startup.
The deployment depends on the complexity. If it is a small deployment, it might take less time, but a larger deployment will take more. For example, if we want to use a machine on GCP, it might take about two to three minutes, but if we have a huge deployment for multiple machines with multiple loop balances, records, and firewall rules, it might take 40 minutes to one hour. We completed the deployment in-house.
What other advice do I have?
I rate this solution an eight out of ten. Regarding advice, I would recommend planning for everything and keeping it simple. It is also important to monitor consumption on the Google Cloud to ensure you are not paying for something you are not using.
Most cloud providers have the same features, but the main difference between them is the solution's availability and cost. Most of the features are only utilized at 30% or 50%.
