We primarily use the solution to assist our clients. One of our clients, for example, wanted their web application to be integrated.

What is most valuable?

The ability to measure access using the solution is quite helpful. It's very helpful, in particular, for clients.

The app provides ready-made services that we can talk to without issue.

What needs improvement?

We are looking for a more robust solution that allows seamless integration.

The initial setup was quite complex.

The solution needs some features. There a lot of new requirements, like seamless integration and real-time batch updates, that we would want that should be added in future releases.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The app is reliable. It's very stable. We haven't had issues with things like bugs or glitches. It hasn't crashed. It's been good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is quite scalable, as it is on the cloud. It is easy for a company to ramp up as needed.

How are customer service and support?

We've never had to contact technical support. Everything we've needed in terms of answering queries or finding assistance is available online.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is not straightforward. It was complex. We are expecting it to be more seamless.

The coding turned out to be quite difficult. We had to put the legacy EPAs in place. The access was hard to deal with. Networking restrictions, etc. were also causing us problems. There was a combination of implementation issues our organization had to deal with.

In the end, deployment took three weeks. 

What about the implementation team?

We had our own team at our company that was able to deploy and maintain the solution.

What other advice do I have?

We were a Google partner in the past, but we aren't anymore.

I would recommend the solution. I'd rate it seven out of ten overall. If the solution offered more features, we would rank it higher.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

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

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.

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.
