Google Cloud Reviews

We primarily use the solution for deploying to the cloud. We have two products in production. 

Two years ago, I was working on local servers only. With this, we were able to move to the cloud.

There's a lot of investment in Google Cloud. It's a very good product now. 

The solution is stable.

It's more widely recognized and used by more people. 

They continue to invest in the cloud and it's becoming very good.

The security is getting better. 

It's easy to work with. 

We're very happy with the implementation at this time. 

The product can scale well.

I cannot recall coming across any missing features.

I've used the solution for a while now. It's been at least two years. 

The solution has been stable and reliable. I haven't dealt with bugs or glitches and have noticed any crashing or freezing. 

The solution is capable of scaling. It's not a problem. 

We have five people using it right now. 

In the future, we will increase usage.

Technical support has been helpful and responsive. We find them to be very good. 

I also have experience with Amazon as well. 

The solution has been easy to work with and easy to implement. It's not overly complex.

We have one person that is in charge of maintenance. It doesn't require much oversight. 

We have witnessed an ROI, although I do not have specifics surrounding that aspect. 

We've had licensing with Google for four years. The pricing is fine. It's not overly expensive. 

At this point, I haven't evaluated any other options. 

I am using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. 

In general, the solution is great and I would rate it ten out of ten. 

I'm using Google's solutions in the cloud to search for documents, store them, and so on. Since I have retired, I'm speaking as an individual user.

Google Cloud is very user-friendly, so whenever I face issues, I can handle and fix the issue myself.

For Google Cloud, the availability could be improved. I'm from China, and Google Cloud is not so popular there. Other than that, I would like to see an increase in storage with Google Cloud. For example, I use Baidu Cloud. Their cloud storage reaches the limit. In China, the biggest problem with Google Cloud is price.

I've been using these tools almost constantly in the three decades I've been in the IT industry. Now, as an individual user, I don't use Google Cloud that often.

I retired as an executive from a top IT solutions company, and companies that use Google Cloud have 50,000 to 70,000 employees.

In China, public clouds like Alibaba Cloud are similar to Google Cloud in terms of flexibility, but the difference is that in China, they compete on price. And users get similar clouds at a very low price. Those clouds are different from Google in that way.

The top three cloud services in China are Alibaba Cloud, Huawei, Tencent, etc. The top cloud service providers like Google, Azure, and IBM Cloud are not visible or popular in China.

Moreover, an alternative, like Microsoft, has problems with scalability. I use Microsoft Office and its email, and when I get too many emails, the performance is noticeably a problem.

The initial setup is straightforward. I can set up the solution by myself or with a little help from my colleagues.

Google Cloud is not completely free. You have to pay for a license.

In China, the public cloud providers price public cloud services very low. Overseas companies like Google, Microsoft, or even IBM face difficulty competing on price. Most users are casual users who won't go deep into the sophisticated features and functions. They only look at the price, and that's a big big factor.

I rate Google Cloud a six or a seven out of ten. I don't think I could recommend Alibaba Cloud people to use Google. The biggest problem is price, and there's no comparison. Moreover, Google has to improve its storage and scalability. Today, most users need storage and computing power, especially with ChatGPT-type AIGC. Usage is taking a lot of computing power. Public cloud services' usage by normal individual users is on the rise.

I was investigating a couple of machine learning files and I loaded them into the Google Cloud Platform. 

I load and edit notebooks and add more resources to increase computational power. It satisfies the GPUs, basically. 

I tend to use their standard configuration and focus on editing the notebooks. I do not use it in a production environment. 

The solution meets my needs for the most part. Everything I need is there, and it has an interface I am familiar with.

There is no downtime. It is very reliable. 

The UI is very familiar and user-friendly. I like ht interface. 

The configurations are very easy. 

Also, if you need to increase computational power, you can do so. 

I find the system itself to be very convenient. 

It is always easy to access. 

It's stable and reliable. 

The solution scales well. 

The product is very good. I don't have any notes on areas for improvement. 

Integration is always something that can be improved. 

I've used the solution in the last 12 months. I use it very regularly. 

The solution is extremely stable. There are no bugs and glitches and there is no downtime. I find it to be extremely reliable. I've never experienced any kind of problems. I'd rate the stability nine out of ten. 

I'm using the solution in the context of a small company, and I just use it on my laptop. Therefore, I've never pushed scalability to the maximum. 

I'd rate the scalability nine out of ten. The level of scalability on offer is very high. It has a lot of computing power. 

I've never needed the help of technical support. I cannot comment on their level of service. 

I have used other solutions in the past and was disappointed with how there was always something not working properly. Also, I did not like how I had to buy credits, which was time-consuming. I had to increase my credit in order to sustain an increase in computing power. Google Cloud is very reliable. 

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. I'd rate it seven or eight out of ten in terms of ease of implementation. It's not overly complex. 

It is available on the web. You simply go to Google's website and it is there and accessible. 

I'm an end-user. 

I am using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd advise others to try it out. They can use it with confidence. I'd recommend it to others. 

I would rate the product nine out of ten. It's reliable and scalable. 

I primarily use it for personal use. I mostly use it to access Google Drive. I use it for saving photos and sharing documents. 

It is very easy to share documents. 

It's very good for personal use for saving my own documents and files. 

The performance is very good. 

It is pretty good in terms of storage.

It is fairly secure. 

I don't have any notes for improvements. I don't use it too often. 

They could always offer even more storage at the base level. 

I've been using Google Cloud for 15 years. 

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. I'd rate its reliability ten out of ten. 

It is scalable. I'd rate the ability to extend ten out of ten.

I'm not sure who else uses it in my company.

I've never contacted technical support. I've never had any issues. 

I also use Microsoft for personal use. 

I've previously used Dropbox as well.

The setup is very simple. 

I use a free version. You can also pay for a subscription from Google Cloud as well. 

Since this is a cloud product, I am always on the latest version of the product.

I'd recommend the solution to other potential users. It is easy to set up. You can choose to have a personal friend and gain access to your documents from anywhere.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for data. For example, we use it for email and Google Docs and sheets and content of that nature. 

I find that Google Cloud is easier to understand than other options. 

I like its product offering, which is simpler to figure out and automate.

The setup is straightforward. 

It is scalable.

The solution is stable.

Technical support has been good. 

I'm still confused by the usefulness of the cloud and I'm not sure why everyone is moving there. I don't trust the act of sending my company's information to whoever knows where instead of having it safe on my own servers. 

I find it hard to download items, especially on their operating system.

The Google operating system leaves a lot to be desired. 

It does not seem to provide any virtualization whatsoever.

I've used the solution for a while. 

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

Cloud providers like Google are designed to be scalable. The issue is you are supposed to be bursting at the seams before you scale and that doesn't make much financial sense.

The customer service is very good. 

Neutral

I'm also familiar with Azure. I've used Microsoft products for ten years or so, however, I find Google to be simpler.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward and simple. 

Pricing is pretty good. However, all cloud products offer pretty close to the same pricing. 

I haven't used a lot of cloud products and haven't experimented too much with Google Cloud, beyond playing with Google Workspace. 

From what I have experienced, I would rate it seven out of ten.

The value for us is the infrastructure as we don't have to host or worry about upgrades. It eliminates capital expenditures and subsequent MNO that we would use to spend on on-prem architectures. That money is funneled towards security and connectivity provisioning. This is a better way of spending money and trying to keep up with the cloud-forward strategy that we have in Oregon.

An area of improvement would be in the of managing accounts in terms of what we are using for memory, availability, and monitoring. We want to monitor our SaaS deployment within Google to give our SOC a good idea of what's going on.

We have been using this solution for a couple of years. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. 

This solution is worth the money we are paying. I would rate the pricing a three out of five. 

From a maintenance perspective, we have cloud architects who are working on what data can go where and what infrastructure we require from the cloud service providers. This is a team of ten. 

I would advise others considering this solution to always plan and have a good blocking service before moving anything to the cloud. It is important to complete an evaluation of sing the solution long term and to take cost provisioning, availability of services, cyber security, credibility and compliance into consideration.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten. 

Google Cloud is perceived as a cost-effective and user-friendly option, especially compared to AWS. The current affordability and ease of use make it suitable for medium-sized companies. While the complexity may increase in the future, for now, Google Cloud is considered easy to use.

The product should be more cost-effective. 

I have been using the product for six years. 

The product is stable. 

My company has more than 1000 users. 

The tool's deployment is not complex. 

Google Cloud's deployment can be done in-house. 

I rate the overall product an eight out of ten. Various factors come into play when considering the adoption of Google Cloud. Cost is a significant consideration, but it's not the sole factor. The availability of skilled developers in the market, technology support, scalability for future growth, and the range of products offered are also crucial. Additionally, the ease of finding Google Cloud-certified developers and the level of support from the company or vendor contribute to the decision-making process.

We use Google Cloud to deploy our servers on containerized token servers and store user databases, which mostly consist of 5S data. It is very useful for authentication, as most of our back-end operations are powered by Google.

The most valuable feature is the ease of use. Google Cloud has mastered the user interface and user experience so much that it is very convenient. The 5S is the best tool for startups to set up things quickly and powerfully. Apart from that, Google Cloud has a lot of features. We can deploy with really powerful servers, auto-scaling, and all. Yeah. That's it. I tried AWS, but it has too many features. So Google Cloud is simple to use to start with.

When the companies grow at a larger scale, I often see them shifting to a different cloud services provider, like Oracle or AWS, because they may have critical features or preferences over Google Cloud. While Google Cloud is expanding, there is still room for improvement in flexibility.

I have been using Google Cloud for more than a year now.

I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.

It is very scalable. For starters, it is very scalable, but when we use it for a month, we may have to look for a different setup on Google Cloud. But, yes, it is very scalable.

I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We are happy with the scalability.

The customer service is pretty supportive. We are also in the Google Startup Program and they have been very helpful. The support is amazing.

Positive

The initial setup is super easy. I would rate it a ten out of ten.

Google Cloud has amazing documentation. It took a few hours to deploy the solution.

Some options might be cheaper for much larger scales, but at the scale, we are operating on, Google has very convenient pricing. I'd rate it a three out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.

I highly recommend using this solution. It's very easy to set up and get started with and is a perfect tool for startups. They have amazing support with their programs as well.

Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten.
